They say life is too short so live it to the fullest......... probably for younger people you may not understand this fully but by the time you start knocking at 50+, you will begin to appreciate and accept it's full meaning :) Thats why god designed us in such a way that we mellow as we get older.......... we become less aggressive and better tempered(eg:-no more throwing tennis rackets and golf clubs)...... we forgive and forget easier than said....... we improve as a person in general....... so that as we approach the days to come, we tend to understand and more importantly accept(not deny) and prepare ourself for the day of reckoning!
That was the philosophical side of my story line and by using the the sadder side of life as a mirror to reflect on the happier side i begin to have a better understanding and see things in better perspective.......... perhaps the way god wants me to see it......like birth and death for instance. Getting too "chim" di..........quick, back to reality!!
Anyway since we are still living and enjoying life, we took the meaning of living life to the fullest to another level............yes, we promise ourselves that every year we must celebrate our birthday at least 3X!! yeah.....bring it on, pop another couple of bottles of Dom Perignon 96...... decant another couple bottles of Domaine Romanee Conti's Grand Cru Burgundys .........and more importantly, find a reason to get together with your friends more often to celebrate the good life :)
So we continue to celebrate monkey's birthday(second round) with her office mates......at Giovino's restaurant in KL.
