Went to the hospital to collect some medicine for my father today and i had the time to finish "Tuesdays with Morrie" as well as a Christian book. Time well spent! I was just on this bench in one of the many mini gardens in SGH, and it felt good. For once, time seem to come to a standstill as i begin to appreciate how slow things were. No rushing, everything done at a slow pace. How i yearn such a life.

Once, a teacher asked her class to list out the 7 wonders of the world. The students went about the discussion enthusiastically and the list read :
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

However, 1 girl appeared troubled and the teacher asked her for her list and she said:
1. To see
2. To hear
3. To touch
4. To taste
5. To feel
6. To laugh
7. And to love

Well, what many people(me included) has missed, she has grasped and treasured.

Many of us, singaporeans, live cluttered lives. We have fixed schedules, tight time, many meetings and while going through all that motion, we miss the simple pleasures in life. In "Tuesdays with Morrie", Morrie said that many people go through life with no sense of purpose, sleepwalking through their lives. How true...

How true...I can't wait to continue slowing things down in my life.
