In KL, we stayed in the Subang Park Hotel in SS15, Subang Jaya. We had a chance to retrace the footsteps of Sam when he was in SJ from 2001 - 2003. I passed by SS15/5D and 5C had dinner at New Sea View Restaurant. This is one place Sam had spent countless of times for breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Right, Sam.
It was like yesterday when Sam and I landed in SJ for the first time way back in February 2001. We walked for hours looking for a place to rent. Finally, we found this one single-storey terraced house with a back room. That was his first taste of independent living in this room. Was it tough, Sam?
Well, a lot of water had since passed under the bridge so to speak and Sam has moved on with leaps and bounds. Time truly flies. That was 4 years ago. Sometimes, I really can't believe that it's been 4 years already.
Talking about time, it is a very interesting gift from God. Everyone has the same amount. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. At times, you feel that time passes just too quickly, sometimes it inches along.
The truth is, when you have something to do or you have a dead line to meet, time seems too short and insufficient. But when you have nothing to do, times seems exceptionally long. Well, if your time seems long, do something, read a book, do a bit of research in the internet (of course, looking for the right stuff) and write a blog to capture your thought.
Paul, time may seem long at times when you are away from home. But rest assured, before you know it, time is up and it's time to move on to the next level of life. Capture and treasure every moment that comes along you way. What's gone will never come back again. Even you can repeat doing the same thing again, it will be different because you have grown wiser.

You are right dad, time really does pass by very fast... faster that most people realize. One thing I remember my pastor in Singapore said is that time is really more important than money. When you spend a dollar on something, you can always get it back. But when you spend time on something, that time is gone forever. So every moment needs to be treasured more than gold or diamonds. I realize as a young person, I frequently tend to want to rush forward into things... what I plan to do tomorrow, or this weekend, or during my next holiday, or in the coming future... and many times I will forget about today...
hahah... those were the days! yea i use to eat around the sea view area... i ate at seaview alot during first year... later on i moved to the other coffee shop opposite sea view! but i think plenty of things must have changed since i left.... memorable years that i can never forget any inch of it!
