Good Old Days over A bowl of 'Foo Chuk Yee Mai'

The good old days.. a group of us friends had a great time talking about our experiences together during our growing up days. We had great fun remembering the crazy stuff we went through.. the times we strip down to our birthday suits at the waterfall, the community work we embark on, the people we offended and well just about everything we could remember... Sigh! what would we do without friends in our lives? As we grew up some of us left the circle while others kept in contact.. these memories good and bad will stay with us till we drop off one by one.. sometimes I do wonder who would be the last man standing! Morbid thoughts huh? but seriously.. death is a taboo subject for many of us but it is funny as this is the only sure step that all of us must take, whether we like it or not.. we can either go kicking and fighting or go prepared, which brings me to this thought. How are you preparing yourself for this once in a lifetime exclusive, surprise 'TOUR'? Are we making it count while we are here.. leaving good memories behind or leaving a legacy of bad experiences that people have of us while we are alive and well.. kicking? People mourning for the loss of one true friend or people saying good riddance? Spare a thought on this.. How would you want others to remember you? Kind or selfish? Upright or corrupt? Sincere or a fake? Righteous or downright rotten? Hmm.. I gotta to think about this myself tonight.. BTW, Deepavali is here.. how many indian friends do you have????
