我新近认识的c君病倒了，还病得不轻，进了icu疗养。前一阵子，他还和我们一起到野外聚餐，爽朗的他还开我们的玩笑。真想不到今天他竟然如此。人有旦夕祸福，我愿他早日康复，和我们一起练太极。
我们这些60开外的人士，美其名说是乐龄人士，其实只说对了一半。我们不再为生活奔波，可以做自己喜欢的事，学自己喜欢的东西。我们也可以静下来，不再为长远的事操心。但我们拥有的时间少了。夕阳红的缺憾是夕阳无限好，可惜近黄昏，这是很实在的问题。我们常常把这藏在心头，但有时会流露出来，就如我现在这样。
人生的四部曲---生，老，病，死 ，是无法规避的自然法则。它的两端（生与死）都是突然而至的，一为开端，一为终结；前者从无到有，后者由有而无。在这两端之间，《老》和《病》就持续不断的运行着，尽管于人有细微差异，但总体是一样的，不变的。
于是乎，从诞生开始，衰老就开始了，疾病也紧紧相随。
衰老是潜伏进行的，人们并不察觉。只有在偶然时，才蓦然发觉自己老了。
当我发觉自己老花眼时，就是这样。
在这方面来说，人是无法胜天的。
老年带来健康的退化，但也带来修养的提升。年岁长了，阅历广了，自然眼界高了，心胸宽了。老年人大都不愿做意气之争，更懂的包容，兼爱。对物质看淡了，对亲情更重视了。
A call from an old friend brought back those happy, carefree days we had in SMDS together.Now Revathy will retire soon,and join the fold of retirees.
Oh ,those days when we were young,jovial and healthy,though hard pressed by our workload,still managed to find room for jest and jib,laughter and rejoice.There were the inter-school games,PSPPK tournament,outings and fishing trips.We had our gathering dinners regularly,and excursions/outings off and on.Oh yes,those were the days,and the memory brought back the nostalgia!
Now we are scattered all over the country,and hardly have time to meet.I even wrote a blog <For My Friends> in remembrance of you all.
Those were the days,and the days of No Return... to be kept down Memory Lane and to be cherished till the end.
Am I getting too sentimental?No,it just shows that I am still alert and sensitive,moved by the happenings around me.It just shows that I am still compassionate,in spite of all the silliness and political bickering,infighting acting out around me.That I am not senile,and care a lot about my friends.That I am what I am,the same Chiam you know all along.
Again let me end my grumbling with a song,being the music lover that I am.
“人生就像海上浪潮，潮去潮来有谁知道。潮来就像万马奔腾，潮去变作静静悄悄。人生就是这么匆忙，何必再寻甚么烦恼。我们应该尽情欢笑，不要把那头低倒。”
