Just Dance...

Thanks for your time during lunch and helping me pick a suitable gift. I appreciate your sharing, and getting to know you even better. Love, E

An unexpected SMS after lunch and E sits five steps away from me in the office. It made me smile. And I realised, how fortunate and blessed I am to be alive and well today, as I relayed two of my near death experiences to her while we enjoyed our laksa. Shocked, E said she would never imagine what had befallen, happening to me. I guess it was not my time to go yet and He has plans for me. Because of this, I am thankful and will not take what has been given for granted and reflect I do, on the incidents that almost took my life, everytime I stumble upon a dead-end and start to wallow on self pity.

I am contented. My world is still now. And I hope the dancing never ends. Inevitably, due to human nature, the concept of wanting more is embedded in our genes and from the time where each of us was a developing foetus in our mother's womb. More milk. More toys. More attention.

My contentment lies with the most precious things in life. And the most precious things in life, are not things. It is the people in our lives. Our people. Family and friends who are always and consistently by our side. Through good or bad, happy or sad. Of course, I won't mind having more Lous, more Louie, the Trinity ring etc but these things I can live without if it is not attainable, if it is beyond my affordability level. However, I can't say for the former. Without family and friends, where will we be? There will be no people to share our happiness and create everlasting memories with. No witnesses to our existence. No Love in our lives.

Furthermore, it does not mean one must go out and grab a Birkin if they have enough dollars in their bank account to afford one. It is simply (can't believe I am saying this but I am) not *ahem* practical. Unless you're extremely well to-do and owning this classic piece won't affect the quality of your life in the present and coming future. In this case, all sense of practicality is stripped.

Moving on, Bi decided to accept a major happie last weekend. I am glad for him and for us as a couple, as we embark on the journey towards a lifetime commitment, together as one. It's turning out to be good year, a very good year actually and not according to the Feng Shui predictions of my Chinese zodiac.

To put things into perspective, it is alright not to have the things we want. We should be grateful for the things we do not have and would not want.
