Road Trip Inspiration

Recently i drove alone to Sri Aman and then Betong... again...
My job requires travelling occasionally and i take it as a chance to refresh myself.

i have always been an impatient driver.
i will speed up my 4WD whenever possible and get rid of all those "turtles" that blocked my way.
It feels good to overtake the vehicles as if i am better than them.
But... Is that necessary? Regardless of how dangerous it gets?

The fact is... i also get scared sometimes...
i am rushy kind of person.
i always wanted to get myself a clear view of the road.
To achieve that... i have endangered myself several times by dangerous driving.
It did save me some times for being "fast and furious" but i have lost more...

--i didn't get to appreciate the beautiful scenery looks along the way. *Beauty comes in unexpected places*

--i failed to notice the tiny little changes or the development took place. *Devil is in the details. Be conscious!*

--i didn't get to enjoy the driving. *Remember! Live in the moment! Why rush? Drive at your leisure and no stress*

--i suffered heavier fuel consumption. *Cut your speed, cut your petrol bill*

Some drivers chose to speed up regardless of road conditions or any other factors. They are identical to nouveau riche who are not spending their money wisely. Know your limits and slow down! Learn to control. *With great power comes great responsibility*

Do Not Rush! Be Patient! Follow your own timing but not lead by others. You will get there in no time! *The Fruit of Patience*

The Picture shows that i managed to reach Fuel Economy 13.1KM/L :P

PERHAPS, A TRIP TO REMEMBER...

父亲

人有生老病死。

但，我却下意思的认为它不会临到我身边的人。

人有阴晴圆缺。

但，我却总不能体谅亲近之人的脾气与心情。

人生不总是蓝天白云。

但，我却还不能坦然面对狂风暴雨或炎日曝晒。

当事情发生时，我们总是悔恨当初。

当风平浪静时，却做不到居安思危。

上两个星期，我父亲因为肾结石，进而导致尿管发炎，甚至全身发冷发热，酷似骨痛热症。

他坚强的形象刹那变得软弱无比。

他那因疼痛而发出的唉哼声让我觉得他从前教导的男儿有泪不轻弹的道理不攻自破。

有那么一段时间，我觉得自己甚至轻视他。

不过，身为大儿子，我还是最终义不容辞，送他入院观察，轮流陪伴他左右。

在医院将近一个星期后，父亲做了个小手术，解决了尿管发炎的罪魁祸首，也在几天后康复出院。

那时候，我才感叹，人类真的好软弱啊～

任你以前是个叱咤风云的大人物，还是平淡无奇的小人家，始终不能躲过人世间的生老病死。我本该早就明白这个道理，身为基督徒，这一切，圣经都已经清楚表明，不过还是选择忽视。

我不是个乖顺孝子，时常与家人争辩，面红耳赤是常有的事。

不过，我感恩，因为最终大家或心里或嘴上都会疼惜彼此。

（不知是我错觉与否，我反而觉得，完全不争辩或吵架，却选择沉默，让我觉得冷漠可怕，有距离感。）

我的父母真的很疼爱我和其它弟弟，就在刚才，我父亲还主动帮我按摩黑青的伤口呢。

我很庆幸，当初神让我留在古晋，也庆幸，因为女友和个人选择，我后来也没有选择去外国工作。不过，我希望神继续引领我前面的路，以至我能够在生活的各个层面做出平衡的考量和决定。

千万别等到......
