A dear family friend passed away yesterday… I’m leaving for Ipoh a couple hours later to attend her memorial ceremony and funeral.
It’s saddening to see long-term family friends leaving, but it’s not too much of a surprise though, anything can happen when people are getting into their 60s.
What really matters is how we live our life when we are still standing. Quite often I see old folks losing special interest, wandering every day’s life just like every other day… I can’t say it’s bad, they probably felt peaceful and blessing to enjoy the easiness… but I sure wish that my life will still be exciting when I’m old.
I think I will be doing a bungee jump when I’m 78, and probably die of heart attack that same moment… it should be cool.

I was browsing and searching about Michael Wang Guang Liang and somehow I found your blog. It so intresting to read your thought, your writing. Some inspiring, some realizing me about life, love and everything.
Nice writing ^^*

True alice… NOW is all that matters, and friends are always important. For me family always come first though.

[...] Was in Ipoh to attend a funeral last week. The deceased was a school headmaster, and her funeral was on a working day… so understandably most of the people at the funeral were retirees, retired teachers to be precise. [...]
