By clinking on the link above, you'd end up in a tragedy of 4 friends... By now, most of us will already know that 3 UTARians drowned in the waterfall at Kampar. It's shocking... How the news eluded me for the past few days till Ka Cheh told me about it... I was shocked... Shocked and surprised that it actually happened... Look at their age... No more than 21... They were young... Most probably vibrant young people ready to take on the world... I know them not... But it hurts... Hurts me when lives are lost just like that... In a blink... In a flash, everything they hoped, dreamed, ambitioned are now lost... Their loved ones will now suffer the pain of lost...


Ironically, it reminds us here for those who are still living... So clearly that life is short... We may be here for one minute and gone the other... Sometimes, I think... we take life for granted... As if we have the right and authority to HAVE this life... It's so wrong... Cos, life isn't ours... We were GIVEN life... and life can be TAKEN AWAY as well... After much toiling lately with my inner self... About how useless have I become... I can only come to this conclusion... Something that was buried down in my mind by my youth pastor...

"Isaiah, if you die tomorrow, what will be your legacy?"

I wonder what will my legacy be when I do truly die... Life is too short to enjoy sometimes... Life is too demanding to relax most of the time... If I do truly die, I only want to leave these two legacies or maybe just advice to the people I love and care...

"Live life to the fullest centered around God"

and

"Keep smiling"

I hope when this is what I will leave behind when one day... I return to the Lord... As for somebody... Life is too short to ponder too much... Live life as it is, enjoy it, stop pushing too hard and... remember the 4 Loves... Love God, Love your family, Love your friends, Love yourself...
