Hmm, so I've just mentioned about how fragile can life be in my previous post. I just wanna emphasize on the point that - life is fragile, very indeed. And I'm glad I'm beginning to realise what's my definition of happiness in my own intricate world.

Came across this reality programme on channel8 just last week, it's basically about poor families living in destitute in spore. I was appalled and utterly disgusted by their living conditions. Roaches, creepy crawlies, and layers after layers of dust everywhere. I can't help it but I just gotta lament on the fact that there are still so many unfortunate people in spore. Their house is in sucha mess that it's the worst and last place one would ever want to live in in a developing country like spore. But what really struck me hard was their courage and determination to live on in optimism despite the harsh living conditions.

Can you imagine a family of 7 squeezing in a congested 2-room flat when the sole breadwinner is only earning about 1k per month and with a helpless mother that has been diagnosed with some illness and still has to pay her medical expenses? Can you imagine a young 9-year old girl who has to juggle both studies and family matters as she has to look after her bedridden mother and do all the household chores? Can you imagine some families are so poor that they don't even have the ability to lead a better life?

I'm sure there are many other families who are facing the same predicament as those mentioned, just that they are unheard of. I'm just amazed by how these familes can remain in stoicism even when things are totally going against their will. I can ascertain that if they were given a chance to lead their lives once more they'd beg for a better one for sure, but do they even have the ability to do so? What justice has humanity done to this world where some people have to suffer in sucha situation that can't be ameliorated, while some are so fortunate to live in luxurious bungalows with big cars and yet they are still pursuing their materialistic needs? I wonder.

Well, I've recently truly begun to notice how small things can impact life in extraordinary ways. And the most important thing is, I'm totally contented with my life right now. I have a lovely family, my doting boyf, caring friends, a nice house to live in and I don't even have to worry if I'm running out of cash or not. I used to think like, "Woah mummy! My friend's living in a big house, she has 2 maids, she's got the newest gadget in town, she goes overseas every year, and her parents are so freaking rich! Why cant I be like her mummy?" Well, not anymore. And there's only one reason behind this change in mindset,

I'm contented with my life. (:
