Time passes quickly when you started to work and focus on your life. That's what Kelly told me that day. She was right. Some what as we look back into our lives, it felt as though we had just completed our PSLE going into secondary school, or completing our 'N' or 'O' levels going into pre-university.

It felt as though time never really stops for anyone... and it really never stop. As the old ages and the birth of young ones. Have anyone ever wonder what they are meant to do in life so as to live a fruitful and meaningful life?

I was thinking of this topic for the past few days or perhaps on and off whenever I see them. Well, have you ever notice the elderly or senior citizens going around in rags and pieces to collect cans and bottles that we had drank finish? to sell packets of tissue papers to people in the hawker centres, where hundreds of people normally rejecting their offer?

I can't say that I'm a Saint to buy all their packets, however at times I just offer. I always wonder why? Why do they do this when they still have the strength and experience to find other jobs that will give them a better pay? Why do they do this when they should be resting and enjoying their retirement, where's their children?

My dad told me once, nothing in the future is certain. Kids saying that they will care for their parents for life and not put them into the old folks home... however as time passes by... things changes... it's either the parents moving into the home themselves, or their children 'dumping' them there.

It hurts to see those older people struggling with their lives, and living their days like that. I would just look at them and wonder, if I have the ability to help them... what should I do? I had this ambition, to open a bar and to create a job for these people... a job that allows them to work and earn their keep. To do a meaningful job that makes them happy too. I wonder if it's just a utopia, but one day, I'll do my best to fulfill it and to realise it.

Well, here's the song of the day... by my favourite and respected and adored actor/ singer (drum-roll please)... Mr. Andy Lau!! Woah! and an unknown lady named Sharon Cuneta and an extra named Jim Brickman. Haha just kidding. They make a team to create such a song.

I'm surprise Andy Lau sings english songs.Well... he's a respectable man! Enjoy, folks!
