Life lessons…

Lesson number one:

Never ever wear a walking shoe for mountain climbing.

Yes, I slipped a thousand times today. And the worst thing, I fell. My pants had a hole on one of the knee and my damn knee bleed!! I almost cried due to the blood. Well, I thought I'll be fine so I continue. Well, I fall again. Damn this shoe. Okay, I do admit that that I've wear the wrong shoe and it's mainly part of my own fault. I would not take the risk any more. I used the short cut to exit. And guess what, I slipped AGAIN.

Lesson number two:

Parents will always be there for you no matter what happened.

After I fall down and decide that's all for today, I walked back to the junction and waited for mommy. At 1^st I thought of not telling them so that they can continue, but the voice in my heart asks me to. I finally saw mommy and those wives of daddy's friends, I told mommy that I wants to go back and that's all for today. She turns to her friends and asked them to continue. I asked her to continue as well. She refused. We than uses the short cut and walked out of the jungle. In this 10 minutes route, mommy is all the while behind me and make sure I don't slipped again.

My tears finally fall after holding it back for minutes. Not because of the pain on my knee but I'm touched. I thank god at that very moment. I thank him for bless me with the best parents ever.

For all the route that I've walked, daddy will always be way in front of me to make sure every things is alright and safe to move on; while mommy will be at the back to make sure I don't fall and hold me up if I really do. I'm not only referring to the mountain climbing but also the road of life.

One phrase to all the child out there, appreciate your parents and love them more than anyone could. Boyfriend/girlfriend and husband/wife is something that is substitutable. But not parents. Once you've lost your partner, you can still manage to get another one, just like our old man prime minister. But for biomedical parents, you can never ever get another one. Please take care of your parents when you grow up in the future. Please run to them now and hug them and show them how much you appreciate them. Celebrate their birthday, wedding anniversary and mother/fathers' day. Not to say you have to make it big, just one small slice of cake and a kiss will be more than enough. They'll be thrill.

Lesson number three:

Talk to the old and wise and you'll learned something from them. And respect them.

Out of the jungle, resting at the play ground near our car. We meet an old lady. We will never know her age if she doesn't tell. She's actually 85 and she looks like 50-ish. We went to chat with her. She had experienced death last year she says. She admits into the hospital due to cancer. She has tube in arms, nose and mouth. The doctor doesn't even dare to let her consume medicine because those medicines might affect her intestine. The doctor has to inject the medicine into her blood vessel. And she's in coma statues. The doctor asks her family member to be prepared. Her family really did prepare those 'thingy'. She claims that she's so close to the heaven and almost meets Jesus. Yes, she's a catholic. Two months of hospitalize, she had recover and the report shows that she have no cancer. Her siblings had all passed away. But her husband is still with her. Her husband is even older than her. Surprise, she has so little wrinkles, unlike those 80-ish.

This lady than ask if she talked too much. I replied politely, "No, not at all. I love talking to you". And she's so happy after listening to my words. Almost every one there knows her and almost everyone there is her friends. They all respect her and talk to her and befriend with her. I can see the happiness in her eyes when someone talks to her.

She's very lovely. I like her.

Lesson number four:

Do not judge a book by its cover.

I've bought a book. The cover sux. But the content, great!! All thanks to Kenny. He has this book review in his blog and I'm so attracted by the story.

The memory keeper's daughter is indeed a good book.

Lesson number five:

Long lost friend can always end up being a great friend or stranger.

Kenny, consider long lost friend. Only meet him on friendster years later. And we end up being a good friend again. And thanks buddy for making me sound like a goddess in your blog. But too bad, my writing skills is really poor, I hardly can make you sound like a god in my blog. Eheheheheh… forgive me for that.

Some of my long lost primary best friend and high school friend, I'm not sure they do not recognize me or they do not wants to recognize me. I wonder is it because I'm too weird to make them denied me as friend, or because I'm too scary. What ever it is, I still always take out my photo album and think back those good old memory. My album getting thicker as my life goes on. As my friend comes and goes.

Really wish to know more people and learn from them.

Lesson number six:

Everyone have their story and it is interesting in their own way. Everyone is unique in this world. Be happy with what you have and who you are.

And don't dig other's story if they do not wish to tell. Respect is the word.

Have a good day and learn from this entry.

Love,

Nichole who have a wrapped knee.
