This morning I nearly died. Why? Because of a fire drill. That is how ironic life is. There in the middle of a highway a group of people were practising on saving their lifes and at the same time they nearly cost me my life! Well not them directly, but the scores of busybody Malaysian drivers that slowed their cars to look at the rising smoke. And me being the sleepy mum was half dreaming half sleeping half thinking and driving at 110km/h. Thank God I managed to brake in time too.
This reminds me of a show I watched recently that taught its viewers that life is uncertain, someone who is perfectly normal and healthy does not neccessarily outlive one who has AIDS. Today I am alive, and tomorrow I may be dead because of another fire drill :S Makes you wonder then is riches all that important? sometimes I feel poor, feel desperate for more money, more luxuries but will all that matter when I am dead?
Nope, guess not. Instead I must learn to be contented with what God has provided for me, and believe He will continue to provide for me. I thank God he gave me a sweet little daughter whose mere chuckling laugh could erase all stress. Thank God for my understanding husband who despite not being a millionaire but feels like a million dollar to me. Thank God for my 2 little dogs who welcome me with such delight eventhough I totally have no time to roll around and play with them. Thank God for my trusty red "sports" car that has gotten me to all my destinations safely. Thank God for my mummy who continues to love me and support me eventhough I can be rude to her sometimes. Thank God for my friends whom have brought colors to my life. So much to thank for...but if only I remember this 24X7 ..then life would indeed not be miserable to live in.
This is in memory of my father whom I miss so much. You may be far but yet your memories remain close to my heart everyday. As daddy used to say "Life is uncertain, but death is a certainty - do not fear death"
