If Life Can Be on A Click - And It Can't Be

Have just watched Adam Sandler's Click on DVD. It's the first time again after the silver screen. It touched my heart again, yes again... Life life life...What is life? How important are things we do in life? How much will our decision change if we could start all over again? I guess probably not much difference.
People take things for granted, easily. Probably not ALL all, but a almost ALL, at least I am guilty of that very often I guess.

“All of us draw circles around our relationship with others, so does my father, except that he has decided to draw an enormous one for our family.”

This is what I heard from someone today. As the youngest son of a family of 6 children, living with his parents and siblings in a city in Myanmar before going abroad to study in a private university in Singapore, this young man is actually a special soul. He cares for his friends, helpful and friendly, no doubt he has heaps of them . He seems to have a really nice, loving family except that he said, sometimes, when he was a small boy, he used to see other kids with their parents at the amusement park and he wished he would have his father paying all the attention to him. Nope, he didn’t get that. Not that his father didn’t care about him or his family, but his father is more than a normal loving figure to his own family. The father has to take care of the children of his siblings who went all the way to the city where they live to study. The young man didn't understand why he had to 'share' his father with so many cousins, but now, he said he start to understand it as he grows older. He isn't very old, actually, I guess, early 20s?

I am thinking of my family now... Think I really should set the time aside of work, and spend a few quality days with them...

I don't want to have to click on the button to turn back time, even if I could.

Before it's too late... and it's never too late, now...

p/s: Watching Prof Randy Pausch has probably woken up the little guilt inside me. Ordinary, but touching. The best part of the whole talk? "This talk is not for you all, it's for my children."
