What did we do?

Another random post of my random thoughts. Today I must finish it because I always never be able to finish a post for the past few months due to the lack of patience. This morning, as usual I went to play basketball. I got to know an uncle who is very fit and athletic in this sport. I was really impressed by his skills. On this second meeting with him, I got to talk with him.

His name is Uncle David. He has five degrees! If I'm not mistaken, both of his sons are studying in United Kingdom. He told me how much he spent for his kids' education fees. It was like 80,000 pounds per year. He really made my brain spins again. 80,000 pounds??? It is like 400,000 Ringgits!! So if I become dad and my kids are so smart, how could I afford it? With my salary now, all I can say is IMPOSSIBLE! Somemore Uncle David also said, "The money won't be able to earn back anymore because their profession only can offer them so little pay". Oh man, I was really surprised when he said that because he is one of the chief management officer in his banking industry.

My thought: Do you ever imagine what would the life of your children be in the future? Frankly, I started to worry and really motivated to work harder in my part-time business (soon to be full-time in the future). No matter how hard or how challenging it is. I can't be too selfish about myself. To God I pray with my heart so that He will guide me and look after me. To myself, I promise will do my very best to surpass my capability in order to build a brighter future for my family and children.

At night, I decided to go to my second Christian funeral in my life. Pastor Yee, our Mandarin speaking Pastor shared meaningful speech with us. But in my mind, I was thinking something else. All of us will come to a time where we need to leave this world. Same to our beloved ones, not only our wife or children but also our parents who brought us to this world. Have you ever thinking on how hard they brought us up? Have you ever thinking of repay them? If yes, how?

My thought: Seriously...I really do not know what to do or how to do in order to repay them. All I know is with the job and life I'm having now, there is NO WAY I can do it.

I can't be as naive as when I was teenager.
I can't be as "lost" as when I just started my life in the working society.
I can't be as LAZY as when I was selfish about my own future but do not care about others.

Well... I do not know about you but at least we can TRY to do something right? God bless you all. Good night.
