Death has always been with us since the beginning of time

Thank God! I'm able to do my next post for this blog.

Sunday, 4 of april around 10.30pm. Lee Peiru asked me out for a run, a freaking long run actually, as usual our mouths are doing the running for the first km and then we started running from our house to jurong point, along the mrt track to jurong east station, tan's house then back home. I wonder how long is the distance but we took close to 2hrs to complete it. It was a close shave with death on a traffic light right after lakeside mrt station, as the green light started blinking and we were quite a distance away but we gave it a chase. I sprinted through the traffic when was about to reach the pavement, the next moment motorists shouted follow by a taxi turned in towards my direction and jammed brake just on time. It was so close that my left leg can feel the impact of the air (SIBEI HENG SIA) , luckily im able to dodge it in time and Lee Peiru gave a kick at the back of the car. haha.. I was still quite shock when we resume our running, was thinking what if i got hit, paralyse or die.. (cfm sibei buay kam wan) Then i started to recall all the books i had read regarding on death.. "Death has always been with us since the beginning of time" quoted by confucius, then followed by

"Learn How to Die; Learn How to Live"

from this book "Tuesday with morrie"

“‘Everybody knows they’re going to die, but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently,’ Morrie said. ‘So we kid ourselves about death,’ I (Mitch) said. ‘Yes, but there’s a better approach. To know you’re going to die and be prepared for it at any time. That’s better. That way you can be actually be more involved in your I ready? Am life while you’re living. . . Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, ‘Is today the day? AmI doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?... The truth is, Mitch, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live… Most of us walk around as if we’re sleepwalking. We really don’t experience the world fully because we’re half asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do… Learn how to die, and you learn how to live.’”—Tuesdays with Morrie

hmm, which i think it is quite true by living each day as if is the last day and you can really live it to the fullest, make u cherish every moment with someone who are important to you (friends, family, etc) ..
there is always something i wanna say is although i think that im quite suay got no charbo, but im blessed with a big group of friends. so ppl lets learn how to die from now~
