Happy Birthday Abah :-)

9th October. 54 years ago my dad was born.

Today, we had dinner and celebrated Abah's 54th birthday. A first night out for dinner for Abah and Mak eversince Abah had the mild stroke. All 5 of us were there at the table (something that's fast becoming a rare thing, I must admit).

I swear it, Victoria Station serves the best Crispy Potato Skin. Yummyyyy..!!

This day brought along a chance to reflect the recent happenings in our life. In Abah's life. Knowing him, I know he's reminiscing. Who would have thought that he would be celebrating another birthday almost fresh out of the Operating Theatre.

That certainly felt like you've been doused with a bucket of cold water.

A wake-up call. That's what I call the events that have happened in the past couple of months.
For us all to live better, live healthier.
To appreciate your loved ones more.
To show your love to the people who matter.
To take some time to relax, and not be a slave to work for a big chunk of your life.
To see & learn new things while you still have the chance.

But most of all, to live life. To celebrate life.

Simply because, it's a gift.
