7:16 PM


Yup. On my way home, I saw this really neon orange coloured sun. It's setting down. It was being eaten up by the horizon every second. I took a few seconds to enjoy it, while standing at the corridoors.

I look around the flats, and I supposed I'm the only one watching. People must be saying. Sunset? It's setting everyday. If you can't catch it today, catch it tomorrow! And if tomorrow, you're still unable to, try the next other day! Anyway, it's always there. You'll have plenty of chances to watch it.

Yes. But what if you only have today to watch it?

A rather erm. Touching poem sent by Fan J. through email. Here it goes:

SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,"Hi"
You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.


This poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.
Well, I'm not too sure about the credibility, but anyway.

Yeah, enjoy it. Enjoy life. =)
