Pheew… this last few months have been a very busy time when much events and activities has been happening – weddings, birthdays, blood donation drive, hearing of sad and happy news and most recent is Easter. Sometimes in the midst of all the busyness we can get carried away with the tight scheduling and just want to rush to complete everything. I’ll always try to remind myself is the people that is more important rather than the event.

Have you had the feeling that sometimes that you’ve finished an event successfully yet we’re not closer to understand or getting to know better those with who we work with? And the funny thing is sometimes we don’t have realise that we spent so much time together and time passes by very fast – 5 years, 10 years, 15 years – and we realised that we do not know much about our friends and people close to us, their deepest struggles and interests in life.

For me, I’ll try to take more time to remember people n my life – take more time to talk to them and spend time with them. Sometimes being a tech geek I prefer to just spend my time in front of my PC surfing the net and getting on Facebook and stuff but call me old-fashion if you must, there’s no greater way of getting the fullness of the communication than when meeting ur friends in a nice mamak stall face to face, talking chatting and cracking no-brainer jokes around. Thinking back to my school days, I missed the times when I hang out with my bunch of friends, playing football, hide-n-seek in the classroom and all the nonsense we do in the class room as well.

What about you – do you prefer to spend time at events or people?
