    I think live life at the fullest, and seeing your close wan daily is a blessing.
    I am at the age of attending siblings and friends ` wake , I am taking things easy, .

    life is short, and remember , no matter how many friends u have, at the end of the day, is your wife and children are at your bed when you are sick. The rest of them the most is to visit you more offen....cherish our love wan...

    i was about to say that you marry the lovely wife until i re-read that part realised that i have misread the word "beloved" for "lovely".

    anyway, when your colleague died overseas, does the company give the wife travel and accomodation expenses to see the body overseas and to accompany the body back to singapore?

    Such incidents do shake us a bit and remind us what is important indeed. My work place witnessed 3 deaths over the past 4 months. 2 natural, 1 ... Sigh!

    Thats why Office Boy always advocate to learn how to spend money meaningfully than to spend too much time trying to make too much money.

    Every min you are unhappy in the office, is every min of your life wasted.

    Most Singaporeans who own 2-3 PCs are already there, but they still continue to want more and more. So that at the end of the day, they die unhapppily in the process of trying to make more money.

    My office got many people like that, but Office Boy just watch and smile.

    Life is short.

    Enjoy it while you can. U can't enjoy when yr body is weak, your mind is stressed up about $/relationships.

    APPRECIATE and CELEBRATE life.. be happy with what has been achieved. Don't fret over the small things.

    Take precautions, like buying insurance... maintaining relationships. Peace of mind and a clear conscience is priceless.

    he was a foreigner i believe they flew his body back to his own country for his funeral but i believe his family would be distraught at his sudden demise if one is aged and sick and passes away people expect it but to get a phone all out of nowhere saying your loved one is gone its like the end of the world

    Over worked ..Over stress.. Over worry .. over practically everything ... No outlet ... does'nt share (nice and soft-spoken as usual) ..Bang Bang .... lose meaning of life purpose (suicide .. as Todd's case ). The human mind is too fragile ..psychological speaking if we are just too focused on certain specifics of life ...

    poor people buy 4d to buy some hope
    rich people buy condo to have something to look forward to

    if we all need some reason to stay alive and get thru the days to arrive at some unknown 'FUTURE', and overlook what we already have TODAY to enjoy, we are all quite hopeless.

    Here is my take on life :

    We do not know when we are going to kick the bucket. If we do, we can do proper planning rite???? So do we want to plan such that we will live till 82 or do we plan such that we will live till 50????

    We need to determine at what age we believe we will live until... And that will be our goal....

    If we plan to live till 82, we need to save money such that we can still have a certain level of living standard after we retire.

    During our course to save money for retirement, we also need to enjoy our lives a little bit - in the event we kick the bucket earlier.... So there must be some balance in our lives... The issue is the fine balancing... Spend too much in your early life and you will be deprived of "money" in the future to spend... Spend too little in your early life and you may be stripped of enjoyment in the event you kick the bucket early...

    The key is to strike a balance and only you and you alone can determine this balance which will make you happy....

    Some find joy in liquor, some find joy in companionship with friends, some find joy in the high life.... So it is almost impossible to past judgement on someone's lifestyle.... What is important is you MUST BE HAPPY AND SMILE


    So what if you have so much money and perpetually worry about whether you have enough.... Do little things that make you happy.... And most importantly, be optimistic and live each day as if it were your last. Of course easier said than done. After all, we are all humans and we are affected by variables in life (office politics, kids education, money problems, etc...) but if we try, at least we will get somewhere....

    I always believe in this statement :

    "Money cannot buy you happiness but without money, how long can one be happy - especially if a catastrophic event occurs that require money".

    So be happy, dont worry..... As the song goes....

    Water - Newater
    Cooked Food - Recycled oil, boiling soup in plastic bags
    Air - Jurong Island
    Vegetables - PRC
    Meat - Antibiotics

    I bot marvel. I think about 2.6k. Pretty good. They also dispense acidic water. This can be used for washing face... Effect on skin quite good. According to my girls....

    The beauty is after buying, u drink more water.... I bring a bottle and place it in the car and drink it everyday.

    Don't know gimmick or not, but I actually drink more water after the purchase... The taste is also different...

    Bot it at kemp something in international plaza...



    As to the amount I paid... I really cannot remember. Need to ask my wifey...

    Sudden death you mean not due to accident? Due to unknown illness?

    Yap, that is why I believe in retiring early & enjoy life, even if the life is simple, no luxury. Worry & stress is the worst thing for old people, accelerate illness that make living painful & yet won't die, most pitiful & sorrowful situation. Like that I better jump down from the Sails, still can create a name on newspaper..........

    That was 3 more years for him. He could afford to retire any moment, but he chose to push for another 3 more years which sadly, is the end for him.

    The key to life is to live the present moment to the fullest while you can. Not to over-plan as life is unpredictable as it is.

    Also, do not hesitate to do something you feel is right nor fear failure in property investment. Seize the moment, so they say.

    Good Luck.

    bro, most alkaline water have high sodium content, if i'm not wrong.

    cod/salmon have high mercury content.

    morale of the story - just live each day as if it's the last. buy enuff insurance.
    There is no good or bad location. There is only good or bad price.
