I was screening through facebook and I came across a iPhone mobile uploaded photo of this mug that a friend had used. She commented that she has used that mug for close to 18 years.

It made me realise that I have quite a few 'ancient' furnitures/household items that I have had it at home for the longest time. The clock hanging on the wall in the living area, the dinning table, mugs at home, shelves and other carpentry at home, and many other things that have been around for at least a decade.

All these household items have been taken for granted over their useful life. We will only realise that we have taken for granted that it will serve its purpose for the foreseeable future. It may sound cliche but we only treasure the things around us when they are gone.

We should learn to really treasure the things around us as much as possible. Your parents, your belongings, whatever you have with you. :)

It's funny how we can say things about others but doesn't realise that we are like that ourselves.

I remember when I was younger I used to press the lift, then run to see the view from the 9th floor. Spy on everyone from above. And I love to see the Yishun Hill from the lift lobby. That was when I was younger and was too short to look down from the lobby that I needed to climb onto the walls.

The computer I bought for $1999 ten years ago is now worth $1. Although I sold the monitor only, but I'm not expecting to get like $50. Maybe 4 or 5? $1 hmm... But I am not complaining. 1 less rubbish at home at least. 

What would have happened if I went to Australia to study instead of staying in Singapore?

What would have happened if I joined SIA to become a flight attendant?

What would have happened if I haven't met the people that I am supposed to meet?

How different would my life be as compared to now?

I really dare not think about them.

I am really happy and contented now. Other than the fact that my dad and brother had another major fight at home.
