For the passed few days, I have been doing some self-revelation.
What have I achieved in life? What do I want to do more? Do I see myself doing whatever I'm doing in the next few years? Am I happy with what I'm doing? If I want to change, am I ready for a change?
I feel that I am a very blessed person.
The only thing I would want to do is to continue serving the community (by educating the young) and trying to make out of the best in everything I have.
I know we all have cravings, needs and wants. But if you try minimizing what you want, you'll find that you're a happier person. I have learned to tell myself that what I have today is bliss and what comes next would be a blessing.
Thus, I am proud to say that I don't have much regrets in life. Some are just a few things that I have been ignorant about when I was younger.
So, when Pei told me not to go to Bali as it has a high percentage of natural disasters, I said "if I were to die, then just let me die. I have lived a fulfilled life so far. The only regret I would have is not having the chance to go on with the rest of my journey in life."
Of course, she was truly puzzled by me, the koo-koo one.
Anyway, I always believe that if we're destined to big goodbye to life, we'll just bid goodbye no matter where we are. Even in the comfort of our beds. So, just do what makes you happy, and I'll be happy for you.
Cherish whatever you have and everyone around you.
My deepest condolences to Jasmine and Rui for the passing of their beloved mother. Stay strong.
XOXO,

Hi Kelly! So happy to hear from you. I'm inspired. :)
M half agreed with what you have said...no regret should you have achieve certain goals set in your life.
But bear in mind that, although you come to this alien world alone, please do not forget the collective effort that bring you here and along the way, the love given by people while you progress in your life.
You might not regret on your life but sometimes,its also essential to be courteous to people that you love before you made some decision.
Just like your friend - Pei. She could just ignore your standpoint, but your statement might just break her heart, eventhough you have live full your life, but this is from your perspective, individual perspective. But as a best friend of you, Pei cares about you. If you were to gone to a faraway utopia, I reckon she will also be one of them that tear.
Just my 2 cents, I am not a lecturer. And anyway, its your blog.
See things from different perspective.
Well, I know we have people to who cares for us. And I never said I disagree with Pei or intend to hurt her feelings. I'm just writing based on one perspective only.
Think about it, it's very tiring to keep living up to other people's expectations.
