What Is Most Valuable In Ur Life?

There's this saying that "What is most important is not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life."

Is that right..!!? But WHO have you got in your life!? Undoubtedly, the most precious ones are your family members. Parents, brothers, sisters,and friends.

We can't choose our parents, our brothers/sisters. Yea! We can't choose our children too. All these are handed to us by GOD, whether you like it or not. Trust me... these people are the best people in our life

Many may disagree with me on this... I didn't know this too when i was a teenager, thinking that my friends are the best people in my life. They understand me. Then listen to all my rants. They talked in my 'wave length'. They are 'in'. They know.

BUT... (here comes the big 'BUT') when "things" happened. What do your friends do!? What have your friends done!? What do your friends say!?

Kent calling his friend (over the phone) from the police station, "Hello, CJ. Hey... brader... wassup man." Then, "Hey, brader. Need ur help a bit lar. Im now in the police station cos i accidentally knock a motorist while driving. Can come n help save me ar, brader?"

A moment of pause went by...

Kent: Huh?? Where r u now? Sin-ka-por? Kenot come n help ar? Err...... ok lar, like that. Nevermind lar...

Then on another occasion when it was poor ol' Kent's wedding day. Yea...all his "brader" came that day to celebrate n in the Chinese culture, the groom's family will give Ang Pow (red packet filled with money as a sign of appreciation n thanks) to all the groom's friends who came to help.

But what do u know... after the wedding, gossip roams... "har!!! so little money only ar that Kent give ang pow. U know what... we drove our car n drove from %^&# here to there lor. How dare he give us only so little. %&*&@#" And on that wedding night, where poor ol' Kent had his dinner reception at his own house. But none of his so-called "brader" turned up! (scared to give Ang Pow lor... cos for Chinese, u have to give ang pow to attend wedding dinner wan mar)

Almost few years passed... This time poor Kent wanted to have a small party to celebrate his kid's birthday. So, who has he invited? All his "brader" of course. But what do u know... his "brader" say they r not attending. "Gotto attend friend's wedding dinner", "Cousin's birthday", "Got appointment" , and all sorts of excuses they gave...

And best of all, all his own siblings, cousins, brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles, relatives came, in good or bad, they came.

So, now. Think again.
