Time is like the water of a river

Time is like the water of a river.
You can’t touch the same water twice.
Because the flow that has passed
will never pass again.
So,
Enjoy every moment of life.

Missing Someone..



Soldiers giving surprise to their loved ones


Lyrics for the background song..

The Mile After - Money Is Not A Thing

This won't be easy,
but I have to try.
I'll have to leave in dead winter
and come back in July.
I'll have to sing what I feel
almost every night;
but if this does anything,
and it will, you'll see,
I'm gonna do everything
to put you next to me.

This is keeping me up
so I decided to just give in;
call it a night...
I've run out of different ways
to tell you what I've tried
a million other times.
I doubt that I could leave you
and I still doubt you'd even care;
but how could I lead my life
and always say truth,
but never dare?

I can feel the undertow;
Will it drown me? I dont know...
Don't you see it's you I need
or will you leave me lost at sea?
You'll miss the salt and offshore breeze
and I forgot to mention, me.
I don't think that you should go
I can't stand to be alone...

Touching Health Screening Commercial



Singapore Health Promotion Board commercial to advise people to go for screening.

A very short video of a father sending his son, who is reluctant to leave him, to school. When his son turns back, he hides behind the building. His son looks very sad without him.

The commercial is telling us that if we don't go for health screen regularly, we may end up disappearing from our beloved ones' lives anytime.

Katie Kirkpatrick and Nick, loving
Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think..... Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts .

We should stop making our lives complicated.

Life is short
Break the rules
forgive quickly
kiss passionately, love truly
laugh constantly
And never stop smiling
no matter how strange life is
Life is not always the party we expected to be
but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful

You are beautiful

you are beautiful words inside a building

You are beautiful

I wish you come by the building everyday because you make everything beautiful
