I rarely post twice on my blog on the same day. But after reading a line on my friend's description in her friendster account, I couldn't resist the temptation to start another post and share what she wrote. She wrote:

"Some people go to the extreme ends of the world in search of the treasured. Only to come home and realise it is a only foot away from them"

Found this quote both true and beautiful. How true it is that people often neglect what is around them for something that they believe is out there, at the far end of the world, only to realise that what they have always wanted has always been beside them. How beautiful it is when people rush back to seek their loved ones from afar after a fruitless search. Perhaps it is the leaving that really taught them what is really important to them. Perhaps it is the leaving that made what has always been beside them a treasure. As I have always asked: "Why must it always be till then when we lost something before we learn how to treasure them?" Mankind just never learns.
