The tragedy at Nicoll highway left a profound impact on me. Looking at the TV and the cries of the families who's relatives had perished in the collapse made me realise just how precious life is, and how infinitely mortal we really are. Each day that we live is a gift from God. The next day, we might die, and meet our Maker. 'I don't worry 'bout tomorrow, I just live from day to day.' And so, how much more should we cherish our lives, and the good times we have and the families and friends you share and know. How much more should we cherish everything we have because time is short. You never know if anything will happen to the people you love and know.

The flaming lips expresses it very well...
"Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don'-go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don'-go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize "


And I am so proud of my organisation (SCDF) to be the rescuers at the forefront rescuing bodies. We are the best. we actually do something noble. man. this is the thing that makes SCDF people swoon with pride.

Had a swim today; decided to exercise a bit. And moreover, prayer was good today, so good. can actually feel. the images in my head of something majestic towering into the sky coupled with song. it's rather interesting as well. hmms. Lord I just need to feel You with me all the time, and not just know. but to really experience and feel. what an apt bible lesson today!!
