Someone Special

This is the continuation of the previous post of the "Tong Hua" song. I fell in love with the song when I first listen to it. Even without understanding the content of the lyrics as they were in Mandarin....I still liked it. It's the rhythm and soothing voice of that singer @ Michael Wong that impressed me.




However, after watching the video clip, I came to know that this song is actually a very sad one. There was a dying character in this piece. The lady was on the verge of dying from some kind of illness. The last part was pretty heart wrenching. The lady was listening to her boyfriend's performance via the hand phone while dying on the hospital bed. She finally took her last breath when the music ended. So sad...huh.





You see....most of us have this habit. We don't appreciating another human until we realised that time is running out. When we know that this special someone is dying, baru we start to kelam kabut treat him/her extra special. By then, it's wee bit TOO LATE...don't you think ?





And most of us only realise the goodness of someone special when he/she is no longer around beside us. This is the usual scenario when that someone is no longer with us. We begin to miss him/her. But when he/she is round, we ignore them and often take him/her for granted. We don't appreciate his/her existence until we lost him/her.





Have you ever experience this kind of feelings before ?





In conjunction with the "Cheng Beng" season of the Lunar calendar, many filial Chinese religiously paying homage to their ancestor graves. This is an annual affair..year in year out since our grandpa's days. I believe that we should show appreciations to the person when he/she is still alive. No point crying over spilled milk when that person is no longer around.




The same goes to friendship. More often than not, our dear friends are taken for granted. When this friend is away....then we baru tau that how grateful to have him/her around. We begin to miss him/her.......!





Therefore....from today onwards try to change our perception in life. Learn to appreciate those people around us. Be humble and learn to accept other people's weaknesses. Don't always think you're right and other people is wrong. Give more & take less. ....with this you'll be happier.
