My Obituary In Reverse

My Obituary In Reverse... My Aunt suggested this idea to me to know how do I define a good life...here it goes...

Here Lies Chooi Ling, Beloved daughter of Mr & Mrs.....XYZ....
She always had a smile on her face, lighting up the world with sunshine, optimism and hope. Always trusting by nature, caring, considerate, kind and true to her character.
She always put people at ease whenever she can, being her true self of a warm and friendly person. She makes friends easily and is loved by many.....
As a daughter and sister, she has always brought life to the home with her intelligent remarks, her entertaining stories and interesting take and insight on life. As a good friend, she has always offerred to help whenever her close friends are boggled with conflicts...always offerring a fresh perspective to things...
Always humble, simple and unassuming character, she lived her life fully, pursuing to be the best she can be.
In life, as for anyone else, there are always ups and downs in life. She has loved wholeheartedly, she has fallen and hurt deeply too. She took chances, sometimes she won, sometimes she lost...But throughout it all, she lived life with no regrets. Because she didnt want to lie on her deathbed wondering "What If".
And today she can rest in peace knowing that she has left no room for doubt that she did live with a fierce passion for life.
May her soul & heart rest in peace, may her smile shine upon us like the sunshine and her tears from the past make up rainbows to remind us how beautiful life can be, if you have faith.

Taking things for granted?

Have you ever realised that you may have taken so many things granted.
Today after work I was having home cooked dinner, then after dinner I saw my mum peacefully surfing net on her FB page (yup! my mum is quite connected in the internet world), Dad reading newspaper, brother watching some movies on youtube, I realised that I have taken simple joys in life for granted. To have your family with you, and your supportive friends around you...how can one be ungrateful and complain about other woes of life when we have so much going for us in our lives?
And tonight, I am truly grateful for all that I have, my health, my family, my friends and most of all, my blessed life.
