Today is a gift, that's why they call it present

Today, I woke up at seven in the morning and couldn't sleep back. So, while I was browsing on my blog, I came across a story that I wrote 4 years ago. The funny thing is, I could not even remember what I wrote. I read it as if it was written by someone else. Wow, did I write a love story? Which part of my brain imagined that? I have no idea. And the story was written in Mandarin. I could not believe that my written Mandarin was that good. The story is like a forgotten city or something. And it seems like I've forgotten a lot about myself. Sound sad isn't it?

Once in a while I write something. And every time I write, I feel like I am looking for my old self. The lost me. Travelling through the story that I wrote was like a journey to my past. No doubt that time only move forward. But people tend to turn around a look backward because they miss something in the pass. Many had imagined about time machine that allows us to go back in time. I really wish there’s a time machine too. Well, I actually think that it is possible. Just look at the airplane. That is one hilarious imagination back in the days. If there is time machine, I want to go back to primary school. Or secondary school maybe. I don’t know. Or maybe, instead of waiting for the time machine, I should just move forward like time. I should treasure present. Like the turtle in Kung Fu Panda mentioned, “Yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future. Today is a gift, that’s why they call it present.” It seems like we are all gifted to live to see today.

Today, I feel lucky. I just settled my air ticket. It is just the right route that I wanted, which will be stopping in Kuala Lumpur when I arrived and will be departing from Penang when I leave Malaysia. With more to that, it is ten bucks cheaper. Wonderful! This means I have an extra ten bucks to eat and buy stuff. Hehe. I guess I’m just a crazy girl who always thinks that she’s the luckiest person in the world. As long as it light up my day, I will believe that luck is always by my side.

We are all gifted to see today.
