It's been almost a year since I last blogged... and I guess the the past 10 months could possibly be the most dramatic period of my life.
Been through quite a lot.. Been to places I have never thought of going.. Done things I have never thought of doing.. Experienced what I thought only exist in dreams.. Went through episodes that I thought can only exist in dramas. It’s one hell of a journey, and like what one of my closest buddies always reiterate, it’s part of the journey in our lives where there’ll be no turning back.
And with the passing of the 5 spirited youths that took pride in bearing our national emblem, their sudden departure really brought home the point that time waits for no man, and made me take a second look at what I have accomplished in life thus far.
The articles, reports, friendster comments and blogs were all veiled in the same tinge of sadness, at the loss of individuals who proved to be a source of great inspiration to many others, despite the fact that they are all around my age, with a few even notably younger. The talents they displayed, the personal accomplishments they made, the great friendship they forged and the many lives they touched all left an ever-lasting impression in those around them, though they may physically be gone.
It left me thinking, of the many things in life I have yet to see, yet to try, yet to do, yet to accomplish. And how though some of them may be younger then me, they have already accomplished so much in life and left such a legacy in the many lives they have touched with theirs.
It is as if I have lived my 24 years of life pretty much in vain and accomplished little of what one is truly capable of. It’s time I set out to do the things in life that one day, when my time has come, will leave many others inspired; and time for me to touch lives like the way Reuben and his friends did.
May their spirits rest in peace that they truly deserve… for they have worked hard in their lives.
