we learn life's simplest lessons in the smallest of things.

just because you do not get to play competitive badminton one sunday does not mean you wasted that few hours. you were instead given a chance to practice your strokes, have a good laugh on the court and take things easy. you were driven to sweat it out even more, and that drive resulted in a gym session. all for the benefit of your fitness and mind peace, even if for a day only.

waking up early every morning does not have to be a dread if you dont want it to be. how often do you get to feel the morning without any tension in the air? the smell of freshly-baked pastries pulls you into such a welcoming embrace you wonder why you never did this before. nasi lemak whets your appetite, roti canai entices you completely. all these on the streets of Centrepoint. to think you live just 5 minutes away, and never knew the pleasure of an early morning breakfast. Stacey Kent greets you the minute you enter your senior's car. The airy, breathy voice serenades you into the perfect morning.

What a start.

You actually look forward to tomorrow morning.

Another reason to wake up early, and it is not just to join the rush hour traffic basking in the honks.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us,
but how we react to what happens,
not by what life brings to us,
but by the attitude we bring to life.
A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes.
It is a catalyst,
a spark that creates extraordinary results.

thank you.
