On a party at Passion scuba-dive center in Singapore yesterday, a friend whom I just met asked me, “Nila, I think you shouldn’t go to the nicest dive sites when you’re young, because when you grow old, you wouldn’t know where to go diving next”.
I smiled and said, “What if I died tomorrow?”
He said, “If you died, then you wouldn’t have a chance to regret, right?”
I said, “Hmm.. Not sure about that. Why do I have to wait to go to the places I want to? Ten minutes before I died, I might remember all the places I’d love to scuba-dive and would definitely regret it that I haven’t make my way there”.
…
…
The next day, I read this amazing words:
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…
(my version):
Thus, we should make our life as colorful as we want it to be
… and be grateful for that 🙂
When we are happy , I’d say, let’s live in the moment. For these moments can be fleeting. Cherish!
Nice post, this will suit greatly 🙂

It seems that your life is truly beautiful…maybe because you always be grateful for what you have…*as you said*

Hi, there is a quote that I found in facebook (I can show you the link):
“i rather to live a heavenly life now and go to hell after i die than to life a hellish life now and go to heaven later.”
Isn’t that cute?
Live to the fullest..
But, even I know the point, still I cant do it for some reason.
Anyway, reading your blog encourage me, motivate me, more and more.
Thanks, Nila! 🙂
@ fajrin: 🙂 i just try to cherish every moment of my life… it’s not easy, especially when i feel blue… but we all just have to try to see the sadness from different angle, am sure we can learn something from it.
