Recent Updates..

Haven't been updating my blog for quite awhile. Not that there isn't much to blog. In fact, these 2 months have been rather eventful.

My dear friend Joreen had passed away 2 days after I visited her in hospital. Until now, it is still painful thinking of her departure. It seemed all so recent that we were both teaching piano at Ossia; it wasnt too long ago she attended my wedding; it was only months back we attended piano teaching seminars together.. Flashbacks of these encounters kept coming back.. it hurts so much knowing that she is no longer around.. Few weeks following her passing-on, time seems to have come to a standstill. I guess, subconsciously, I still wanted to keep memories of her fresh in my mind. In fact, it is only until the recent couple of days that life has become slightly more 'back-to-normal'..

Seeing how hard she had put a fight against her illness and eventually her departure had definitely made me treasure life and health more. In the past, I had always wanted to utilise every minute of my life only doing things that will value-add to myself. Even sleeping was considered a waste-of-time.

In recent weeks, my life seems to have taken a drastic change. I am starting to spend quality time with people whom I care.. beginning to treasure and appreciate the people around me.. eating heathily and taking exercise more seriously.. I try not to let anything keep my spirits down for long.. I am no longer trying to rush from places to places for piano lessons like I have been doing for the past years.. afterall life is too short to be spent in a rush.. and I am slowly but definitely learning to smell the flowers along the way..
