granted.

Good morning people! :)
Due to yesterday's sudden breakdown of my own home's internet connection I realised something. I have taken a lot of things in life for granted. I have taken the internet connection in my home for granted...last night my internet connection just failed. And as much of a sotong I was, i couldn't remember if I had submitted my rj for the day. I was frantic...haha...there I was trying to gain any connection available...it took me a long long long time before I could get one with very little or no connection. How pathetic right?

So there i was using the limited connection to try to gain into leo which like took forever to load. Literally, forever. haha....and when I could finally get into leo it took another forever to load the rj page.
And i thank my lucky stars, for I couldn't really do much stuff online so i was kinda afraid I couldn't get into leo too.But luckily I was still able to get in after waiting for some time, it took long to load...so i waited for it to load and watch channel U's entertainment show at the same time.

When I finally got it to load, i realised that I had already earlier submitted my rj...argh. what a muddle head. Making myself go all frantic on a wild goes chase to find wireless just to realise that i had already submitted it and saw it just not too long ago. Haiyo. see lah. thats me lor. hahaha...blur like sotong.

a sotong my cousin Foong bought for me as my 19th birthday pressie...So cute right? I always get her pigs amd she gets me sotong. Heh.
Piggysotong! :)))

But this made me realise, I have wireless which I own, so I never really treasure being able to log on to the net and use it. Only, at points like this do i feel how much i took little things like this for granted.
Just the other day, when we were in school and there was no internet connection, and we did not have the handphone number of the other party. Ah! connection breakdown...so now i think i shall make an effort to ask people for their handphone numbers too... :)

Living in Singapore and Malaysia...I can say there are there are just too many things in life which we take for granted. Sometimes we don't mean to because all this comes naturally to us. The clean water, the not too polluted air, the lasting electricity, the schools we study in, our friends, our family,etc etc.
Ya, only when we step into a foreign country to see someone else's life which isn't as easy to come about as our own then will we realise how lucky we really are. Put yourself in their situation then we will learn to stop complaining and be more grateful of the stuff we have.

Whenever you think you are down in the dumps. I assure you, there are people out there who have it worst. But they can still leave with a smile. So, why can't we? Pick ourselves up and move on with a smile. We have family and friends don't we? Cherish them like never before. And, that is great advice i assure you. :))

What are the things you have taken for granted? Treasure and Cherish them. Now. =)
