Tomorrow Never Comes

Consider a meaningful day today. Did quite a few things.

Firstly, got a presentation in the morning.
Secondly, noon time have class photo taking where we had lots of joy (hope my class can be better:))
Thirdly, went library for the mysterious bag thing (basically I was really bored). Guess what? Found an interesting book to read and won a NIKE bag pack(quite ugly though).
Fourth, went to help out with the videoing. Great experience and learn new stuffs. Enjoyed the performances while videoing and reminds me of my days in band where I am the one on stage too.
Lastly, had dinner at Jack's Place with family.

Cut all the craps,Main Purpose is to share with everyone the great poem from the book ,an HOUR to LIVE, an HOUR to love. By Richard Carlson and Kristine Carlson.


Extract from the book,
Tomorrow Never Comes (by Norma Cornett Marek)

If I knew it would be the last time I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray the Lord your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss, and call you back for just one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would tape each word and action, and play them back throughout my days.

If I knew it would be the last time, I would spare an extra minute or two. To stop and say "I love you", instead of assuming you know I do.

So just in case tomorrow never comes, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you, and I hope we never will forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold you loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you will surely regret the day.

That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss,
And you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold you loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, that you love them very much, and you will always hold them dear.

Take time to say "I am sorry," "Please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes, you will have no regrets about today.

What a lovely poem and a great book.
Learnt to cherish every single day that was given
Learnt to cherish my loved ones around.
Less complaints, more love and gratitude.
Most Importantly, while pursuing our goals in life, we kept that deep in our mind.
