Just came back from a tea session with Stanley, Adlin and Guowei. Been quite sometime since we chatted on a weekday. Was real tied up with work ever since the start of the new year and am glad for this short respite from work. Well, not complaining here as being busy is a good sign. This show that you are living life to the fullest and not stopping there wondering which next step you should take.
One of the topic we chatted about was children. Boy had we grown old. I would have never imagine me chatting about this a few years back. Anyway, Stanley was sharing his experience of a being father with us and to be honest, it make me feel frightened and yet excited about it. I maybe thinking too far here as I am still very single now but I find it amazing that a life can be created by just two person. It's as if that these two persons are playing God in delivering a new life into this world. Giving it the eyes to see, the ears to hear and the mind to think.
The pessimistic will be thinking that they are bringing them out here to go through the vicious cycles of life. But I think otherwise. Life is beautiful in that you will never know what will happen next. It is the ups and downs that make life beautiful and sweet. Getting up from falls, basking in the love of your friends and loved ones, and making this world a better place. The sheer unpredictability of life make it great. Life is just like a great movie unfolding in front of your own eyes.
We also chatted about child birth and hearing the experiences his wife had gone through during child birth only increased the respect I had for his wife and all mothers out there. Most of the details are gruesome. Like being in labour for half a day, not taking the pain killing injection and relying on laughing gas instead and a lot more which is giving me the goose bumps as I think about it now. See, I am someone who have a low threshold of pain. To hear what his wife had been through really make me marvel at ladies.
To all those mothers out there, you are GREAT!!!
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
