Treasure your family & loved ones while you still can

I'm feeling terrible now. Yup, God please take away all negative feelings from me. Have been to many wakes in the past few years. Too many to count. But I feel especially distress whenever there is a sucidal case. Why do people resort to commiting sucide? This world is so interesting and beautiful! The only reason is because they have lost hope. Hope can bring us very far. Please never lose hope in life because there is HOPE in life! God is hope and in God we hope. Cry out to God & He will take away your pain and instill new hope.

When Sum told us that one member from superband Soul died, I quietly hope that its not Ishi.
But when I saw the news online just now, my heart sank. It's him.
I may not know him personally, but i saw him & talked to him last July at his NTU convocation. I was there doing surveys and I saw him. Didn't recognise him as Soul's member but he was so friendly and nice. So he gave me his number and I was suppose to call him this Mar to do his Financial Planning.

Ended up, I didn't call and I never will have a chance to do so again.

He is such a bubbly guy & he is doing well as dance instructor for Project Superstar. Why did he has to leave?

I was reminded of another NTU fresh graduate who died just few months after he graduated. May not know him personally too but felt so sad because he is another very promising young man.

You know, I was reminded once again about treasuring my family and all loved ones now while i still can. Is it worthwhile to be rude or impatient or unkind to your loved ones just because they are your closed ones? NO! Don't do things that we might regret later. Tomorrow is always an uncertainty. Treasure treasure treasure! before it's too late.

Even for Ishi whom I may not know personally, i felt bad for not calling him when i can. I might be able to pray for him then.
But Lord, you always have a reason for everything.

I will not take things for granted again.

Thank you Lord.
