In health and sickness

When I was a kid, I used to watch my parents sleep. I used to watch their chest go up and down. I remember how I used to wait for it to move and how slow time passes by. I did all this because someone once told me that people die in their sleep.

But I dont do that anymore.

Do I not have time anymore. Am I too busy with life to worry of death. Or do I simply take things forgranted.

It took sickness to make me remember...To remind me that my parents are humans and that they can be weak. Its frightening and unnerving to see them weak but I guess its life reminding us of the important things we take forgranted. And for that, perhaps sickness is just as important as health.

Better World

A friend of mine believes that not only does the world around us shape us, but that we too shape the world. So if you've ever dreamed and envisioned for a better world, why not start to shape it into a better world!

You can make a difference. You dont have to be rich or it doesnt have to take up most of your time. Start small, make it sustainable!

My friend is starting with a conscious kind-act-a-day. Follow it at his blog here!
Its a simple concept. He starts it with himself - do a kind act a day to another. And lets say another 2 friends joins him on this idea, then you've got 3 people contributing a kind act each. And if these 2 new friends get another 2 new friends each, then you've got 7 people contributing a kind act each everyday...and it goes on and on and on....and hopefully it becomes a movement. Globally, you've got a whole new generation of people consciously choosing to do a kind act each day. Imagine that!

I stress on the word conscious because I believe that a better world should start with a change in mentality. By consciously choosing to do a kind act a day, you consciously realise the need for change and the importance of kindness and human relation. So why not start now?

Do a-kind-act-a-day and change the world to a better place. TRY IT! And at the very least support him, support the guy that is willing to change if you're not. Support him by reading his blog and encouraging and spreading the news (hehe like me!). But best of all, support him by joining in with his idea... Start a blog to keep a kindness diary for yourself and for others - you're not only helping yourself, but you're helping the entire world.

You start small and you dream big!
A small act of kindness collectively CAN change the world.

I heard just about the smartest thing on hospitality today...

On my way to work, I listen to BFM 89.9
BFM is great coz it plays random songs that you dont hear elsewhere.
And from 8-8.20am its the breakfast grill!
Its where they interview key ppl on their respective industries.
(Perfect for people like me who are just clueless about industry insights)

Anyway back to the subject matter, the smartest quote on hospitality introduced by a speaker from a PR background is that.....
Pubs dont sell beer.
Hehe well that definitely caught my attention.

You know why???


Its because.........
lets say there is a row of pubs, the row of pubs all serve the same beer at roughly the same price. But you dont just walk into any 1st, 2nd, or 3rd pub. Instead, you choose to walk a little bit more and walk into the 4th one. Why?
If all the beers are the same, why the 4th and not the 1st, 2nd, 3rd?

You walk that extra distance and choose the pub based on their service and the experience you get from it. Essentially, whats being sold is not beer but service.

Freaky Coincidence

True story.

My granduncle passed away at the age of 67 at about 1.30pm due to heart attack. May his soul rest in peace.
The very next day, at 1.30 pm, the driver that drove my granduncle's body to the graveyard, who is coincidentally 67 years old, also passed away because of heart attack.

Freaky Coincidence? YEP.


Life oh life...

A death has happened

The burial took place at night.
Everything went smoothly. It felt so peaceful and it was rather *beautiful* having a gathering of people around the graveyard under a clear nightsky to bid farewell and celebrate another person's life.

But imagine, 67 years of living and all it takes is hours to return back to soil...and only moments of celebrating the end. But hey, maybe I'm missing the point. Maybe life is a lifelong celebration and/or 'the end' is not necessarily the end after all ;)

Whatever it is, lets remember to live and remember that all things material eventually disappears (and perhaps all things non material for that matter).


Lastly,
Don't fear death just because you fear the unknown

Sweet Child O' Mine

Sometimes that one song can transport you back to time regardless of where you are and what you're doing. That one song can stop you on your tracks and memories and emotions simply rush through. And its that feeling where you're just THERE...i dont know where...but just THERE >>> lost in time and space

And no matter what you're going through, you simply smile
