Blogging again?

I used to blog when i was in my university days but i lost interest amid all the work and hustle and bustle of my daily life. I figured it was more important chasing after my dreams than telling the whole world what i have been doing, or what i have done. Some call this being focused and goal-orientated but the recent event made me think twice... It made me think.... in my persuit of my dreams have i missed out the important things in life? Have i taken time out to admire the strength of the fragile flower growing by roadside? Have i taken time out to spend with my parents and family? Have i been spending time with who matters most in my life and have i been keeping contact with my friends that i hold so dear?

The recent Dragonboat accident in Cambodia has reminded me that there is no consistency in life and i would like to keep something behind or at least let my friends know what were my brief thoughts and actions should i meet with an unfortunate accident. Therefore i decided i should start blogging again.. maybe briefly, but it will be a place where i can post some of my thoughts and pictures of my life for my friends and hopefully that will reduce the distance amongst us.

Going back to the Dragonboat accident again... My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the 5 national rowers who sacraficed for the glory of our country. I do not know them personally but i have seen them many times at Kallang river and for the small dragonboat community, it is a great loss. I pray that their friends and families will find the strength to move on in life.. moving on to find happiness and hope... for i know those 5 would have wanted it to be so. Somone once told me... "After the pain and the tears, life still have to go on. We cannot change reality, but merely adjust our response to what has happened."

I pray for the 5, their families and their friends. Pray that they find happiness and the strength to smile again in the days to come. For with life, there will be hope and where there is hope... happiness is usually not too far away. Life MUST go on.
