It was about "living"

My kettle broke down today. So I went to Jusco and bought a new one. I was about to leave with my new kettle, but decided to stop by MPH, just for a glimpse at the books.

I knew what it was the moment I saw the title and the author's name.

I received an email from a friend last week with the link below:

I cried at the end of the video.

The title of the book was "The Last Lecture", by Randy Pausch. I stood there browsing through the pages, and the content of the video came back to me. I could not help it but my eyes were watery. Luckily my fringe was quite long so I could hide my eyes behind my fringe.

...."time is all you have... and you may find one day that you have less than you think"....

"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand"
- Randy Pausch


Hope the video inspires you as much as it does me.

P.S. I have bought the book. Something worth re-reading.

it's so inspiring and touching. i honestly felt touched and tears starting to well up towards the end for me too. but i didn't cry though! =P ptth..

girl, you're making a difference with your blogs. don't let anyone or anything convince you otherwise. if you're not sure, remember this - the very least, i'm made aware of Randy Pausch in this instance through your blog..
