Thinking that Saturday's my off day, I decided to bring my parents out for lunch. The minute we entered into PIE (Pan Island Expressway), I felt that my car was dreadfully heavy. Speeding up to 80km/hr was a feat. I decided to keep to the left lane & maintain at 60km/hr whilst I wait for the opportunity to turn out at the first exit. I had wanted to stop at the expressway but it'll be way too tough to grab a cab for my dad.
As all might have guessed, I had a punctured tire. The wait for AAS was great. In the busyness of my life, with cars simply zooming past me, horns sounding, I was, in a way, forced into a no-choice situation but to do nothing. It gave me the best opportunity to slow down my own life & reflect. My all-time favorite question for myself is this "Time flies... & what have I achieved?".
It's not about the things that I have achieved per se. Rather, what have I done in my life that is set for eternity? Is life YET another routine? Have I used my life to touched the lives of others? *shrug* Food for thought...
When the tires are settled with $170 for 2 new ones, I made my way home. Spent almost the whole afternoon writing Carol's wedding invitation cards with mummy. Actually, despite the tight schedule, it's quite fun doing things together with mummy. I see it as a chit-chat session!!!
Since I can't bring parents for lunch, I brought them for dinner. Not too far, just a nearby coffeeshop about 10 mins drive away. Had SO much food that I could feel my stomach burst!! HAHAHA!! Made my way to meet CG to SURPRISE Steven. Haa!!
