I faced death today.. Yet, my life is still long. The will to keep on living, that's the savior. Was i scared??? Definitely! Its not that I'm scared to die. I'm scared that I'll leave all people that i love the most behind with them missing me n without me having the opportunity to give or contribute to them anything yet.
Its true when people said that u will see some picture when you are about to die. In my case the only picture that was running through my mind was my family members' faces. It make me think after the incident that noting is more important other than my family. Today, since the 2nd chance is given to me, I promised myself to dedicate my life to my family especially my Mom n Erina.
An advice to all is that, enjoy your life n keep up with your family when you still has the chance. Life is short n u just don't know when its gonna end...

NAILS IN THE FENCE
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence He said, 'You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. But it won't matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound will still be there.”
