The Meaning of My Life

Last Sunday. I was in the car with my parents, on the way to drop my dad to a wedding dinner with his friends and me to accompany mum for dinner. I saw the smile on my dads face as he got down from the car - clearly I can see that he is looking forward to catching up with his friends and also good food :) I feel so happy to see him smile. And I thought to myself, "Wow, I will do what I can daily to give him that smile on his face". We are sometimes so busy in life we take for granted the people who are dearest to us...
And during the Japanese dinner with mum I can clearly see she really loves the fresh sashimi and it's nice to see her so happy. I am glad to be able to spend some quality time with her, chatting and enjoying good food too. Mummy-daughter time...
Those moments made me realise the real meaning of my life. I kept searching and wondering all this while, but I think I now understand - it is to love and cherish my loved ones and people who love me while they are with me. Every little moment to be crystalised. :)

Oh and tonight, I made a point to watch a recorded movie on TV together with my parents...I will make more conscious effort to spend more time with them from now on.

Simple Joys in Life

Today i got a chance to witness many simple people living a simple life, revelling in simple joys - in their daily work, their simple food for lunch, everyday they are happy. I wonder if a complicated person feels less happy than a simple person. Someone who has tendency to think and ponder too much like myself often miss out the simple joys in life. I will make a point to live each day happily and to appreciate every little simple joys that comes my way.
