When are you at the top?

Lunches these days have become more of a time waster that I have to go through due to the increasingly amount of work to be done. I usually grab stuff from the nearest hawker center near my office, sometimes crystal or jem will grab me something along their way back frm lunch.

Today however, I took sometime off for lunch and headed down with Sherry for a quick meal. Having eaten, she occupied herself with today's newspaper, feeding me knowledge of the current happenings in our dear world.

another case of food poisoning.......
thai in chaos.......
that former DBS CEO passed away....


I took a double take upon hearing that.
" what! that who was diagnosed with leukemia a couple of months back...stanley something..?"

Sherry " yes Richard Stanley"

Me: "......"



I can still recall that I wanted to blog about this, when I first learnt about him getting diagnosed with leukemia. I think I didn't get down to it but I guess the latest news about his passing on, kinda reminded what I wanted to write.

At a considerably young age of 48, no one can deny the achievements of Richard Stanley, or Rich, as he was affably referred to by his peers and colleagues. He leaves his wife and 3 children behind.



Makes me wonder....so what if you worked hard and get to the top...money cant buy happiness, lest good health. So why are people of our society slogging their guts out, comparing on the qualification one has, the paycheck you bring back from work, the bags one carry, the latest apparels from Milan or Paris, the car you drive.


Life is too short for that. Some may disagree with me, saying that I'm able to write this because i'm comfortably better off than most, but i beg to differ. Everyone has their own worries and problems, be it the rich or poor.

I do admit that I get pissed whenever I have to think twice when I wanna get something due to financial constraints. Who doesn't? A $1000 bag may bother me, but a 5 million jet plane may bother a millionaire just as much. (does jet planes cost this much or more?)


Be contented with what you currently have now..its normal to have regrets, but don't live in them. treasure and cherish your close ones and most importantly, do not be afraid to love...


okie it's close to 1am and i cant believe i;m writing all this crap when I should be doing my work or getting some shuteye before another long day tml.
