It has been a year of mythical regard, what with society’s visions of flying cars and monorails (and Malaysia’s Wawasan 2020). But life is stranger than fiction, and the power of nature is on full display in these times.
Everywhere I have seen blessings, where others have only seen curses. Stay at home—do more! Social distancing—more space! No social gatherings—global gatherings! Truly the magic of the internet has made the world smaller and have allowed us from far away to communicate with each other.
I have finally been able to put in work on my magnum opus that I began exactly ten (10!) years ago (by the lunar year 😁🌝), a compilation of my learnings and innovations on Haunt Event planning, with their related stories. Indeed, Rome was not built in a day and I could not hope to complete it by any artificial deadline. I’ve learnt so many new things that I felt obsolete one day and enlightened the next. I am thankful for everything that has occurred to me.
For many things, it is extremely uncertain what will happen. But I believe that if we are genuine, sensible and practical, the important things in life will return. We can already see some semblance of normalcy (which I hope is sustainable), but let’s pray for better fortunes and prioritise the productive.
“The gift of choice, [is] the gift that’s given to you that nobody can take away from you. You have unlimited choices. If you make the wrong choice you can try to correct it with another choice and make it right. Your life is the most precious gift you’ll ever have. And it’s the only one you have. You’ll come into this world alone. You will leave alone. Who you meet in between, is the challenge of how you deal with your life. Remember, no matter how bad something is in your life, it has a time limit. But also remember, no matter how good [something is] in your life, that too has a time limit.”
