Days counting down...
8 days to first episode of oktoLIVE! telecast!
35 days to last day we'll all be together as a class...
I wish time would go faster because excitement is waiting in-line... but I wish time wouldn't pass that fast because I can't bear to say Goodbye to my classmates...
Recalling the times when I wish that I was graduating... and now the time is approaching... but I wish we could still stay on longer... together.
It's ironic.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Time is just not enough to spare, for family, for friends, for school, for work...
But it may be due this, that we cherish even more of each and every moment that we could spend on someone.
When I was young, I had hoped that time can be saved and used for next time... and when the school's textbook has got a story on saving time, it was so apt in relation to how I felt.
The story was about using some mechanism to clock in the number of hours you want to save now, you can save as much as you can, then until the day that you need it, you just have to press something, and that day would be longer than just 24 hours!
I'm still hoping there will be...
When I reach home late at night and saw bread for the next day's breakfast on the table, and when I open the fridge and saw my favourite Yakult there... I smiled. Dad bought them. It's just like how Mum was in Singapore then, that I sometimes open the cabinet and find my favourite seaweed there. Dad/Mum/Bro would call me whenever I'm going home late at night, and they will be downstairs to wait for me... I appreciate them, very much...
Now weekends are so precious to me, because it meant time to spend with Dad, time to chat with Mum in Aussie and listen to Xiaozhuzhu, some time for friends, and time for myself...
Punctuality is a big problem for many people, and I'm talking about more than just 10 - 15 minutes late. There can be thousand and one excuses, but it all boils down to self-discipline, and just maybe once/twice are actual reasonable reasons.
If it only meant that one will be on time for formal meet-ups, and being on time for informal meet-ups are not necessary/can be forgiven, (Yes, it can be) but the amount respect is not given equally.
The most valuable gift that someone can give, is Time.
