Pleasant Memories....

Well, it was just a usual family reunion dinner that we had just recently. So the motion began, with the few introductory talks with my cousins and uncles and aunties. Of course it was pretty meaningful for me since it would be my last reunion with them until I come back from my studies. And then the 8 course dinner began with the usual 4 season thingy. Not long after a few dishes, karoake session thus began. Persuaded by my father to sing as well, I began to search for songs to sing. After quite some time, I suddenly decided, "Why not sing Ben Xiao Hai". So I pick the song and eventually it was my turn to sing. Man did I sing my heart out. It was such a nice feeling singing the memorable song. Memorable because it reminded me of our performance with my 2 other buddies, Ding and Chun Peng. Oh man.... I could just imagine the stage, the dress-up, the fun that we had, the cheers...... And amazingly, the next song that was sung by an uncle of mine was entitled "Bao Bei Dui Bu Qi", another song from our performance. OH MAN....... How I wished we those 2 guys were here to reperform our feat. Sigh.... Pleasant memories...... Pleasant Indeed.......

Money Matter

Dad finally gave me a more definitive date as to when we will be leaving for UK. So August 23rd is going to be 'the day'. Well, with a few month's time left, I had to begin shopping for my necessities and the etc that I have to bring along with me to Southampton.
Being a non-shopper myself, bordering on an anti-shopper, shopping became pretty exciting. But I had a big problem, I don't exactly know the usual price of things. For example, I wouldn't know if RM50 for a pair of pants would be considered cheap or otherwise. However, a big thanks to Mel for 'temaning' me during my shopping spree. Going in and out of the fitting room trying various clothes was kinda fun. So I began shopping for the items that I had in mind. After 3 days of shopping, what struck me most was the amount that I managed to spend. Well although I can justify that those were really necessities, and I mean it! but still...... man.......
I walked into Sox World, with the intention of buying a few good pairs of socks to bring over there. I ended up walking out the shop with a RM71.00 bill. I was thinking to myself, "Just on socks???" Sigh.... things aren't cheap man. And thats only socks...
Frankly, the reality of my expenditure thus far has yet to sink in. And to think how much more my parents will have to spend on me for my 3 year education in UK........ I rather not think....

To prepare for the unknown

Recently, I had a very interesting discussion with you-know-who. It was about the uncertainty of the future and the desolateness(probably too harsh a word) of life at present. And naturally, such discussions will lead to the imminent question of, "Why do we prepare so hard for something that is unknown? Can't we live life to the fullest and let tommorow worry for itself?" ....... Food for thought.
It's really so tempting to agree with the latter question. Yet I think life constitutes more than it appears to present. May I suggest that purpose, accountability and responsibility be the grounds by which we begin to explore into the issues of life. What is my purpose here? Do I even have a purpose of living in this place called earth? Or am I just a product of coincidence as many would suggest. What are my responsibilities and to whom do I owe an accountability?
More food for thought............ :)

On a personal note, I have found my purpose in life! :) Praise God.
