三餐之中，我最喜欢的就是早餐了。
它能给我一天的能量。
起个清早，享受清晰的空气 和一顿丰富的早餐，
对我来讲，是件非常幸福写意的一件事。
那天，我在咖啡店吃我的早餐。
捧咖啡的阿嫂对我说，
“星期六，很空闲哦？“
我回应她说，
“星期六还要来工作，命好苦哦！“
她看着我说，
“你身体健康，又有工作，
怎能算命苦呢？那些生病又失去工作的人，
不是更命苦吗？“
听了阿嫂的话，我哑口无言。
因为她说得很有道理。
我们因该知足常乐，不要身在福中不知福也。
我很庆幸我身体健壮，而且还能有份不错的工作，
着是上帝的恩赐。
现在每每我要开始埋怨的时候，
我就会想起阿嫂的话。。。
我是幸福的！

I feel like giving dat kopi auntie a BIG hug! She has indeed reminded us of an important lesson in life with juz a few simple words…living the moment, enjoy more. What is life to one who has lost his whole family n frens in an earthquake or war? What is life to one who is suffering from a terminal diease? What is life to one who can barely afford one proper meal a day? We probably couldn’t really imagine or fully understand. Maybe we should constantly ask ourselves…What am I grateful and thankful for about today? Am I living in the present today or am I allowing tomorrow and yesterday steal today’s happiness? That day while I was driving along this road, near Bedok Camp I think, early in the morning, there was this row of trees lined along the road. Nothing really unusual to many but with the thick morning mist lingering in the air, at that very moment, I thot it was juz simply a piece of beauty! You wouldn’t believe it, I smiled. It was indeed a beautiful morning. There ain’t probably any definite definition to simplicity but I think it is within the control of our mind how we wanna view simplicity. Our mind is an important tool coz it affects our heart (our feelings) and probably in turn affects our actions. Hmm, where have I read dat before? Anyway, there’s probably something which I would like to think about from your reflection, ha, maybe I should try to wake up early more often during my non-working days :P
“As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe wil be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
Good morning Siew Boon
Yeap! You don't know what you have been missing all these years. Waking up early has its beauty and mammoth benefits.
For one, your day is longer and you gain many hours. You find that you are able to accoimplish many more things.
If you linger at the East Coast or park, you will find many health conscious people exercising. And the air is very fresh.
You should try it sometime, and don't forget to get your sumptious breakfast. It will really make you day.
