Have you ever wondered what will happen if you pass away tomorrow?

Well, it's rather morbid and not to mention out of place on this 人日but I guess such topics cannot really be put off. People come and people go, but one's expiry date can never be foretold. Chinese New Year or not, nothing in life can be a talisman against death.

At the first mention of death, perhaps several things would shoot off the top of your head. Maybe a will; splitting one's inheritance may very well be the top of a dying person's agenda. A family without allocated assets would more often than not squabble and fall into unending chaos, which obviously does not bode well.

Or maybe a person close to his demise will start to worry about his family. The pressure to sustain a family business, the anxiety that accompanies the thought of suddenly leaving the world when you were once the sole breadwinner of the family.

And half the time, we all regret the things that we had done. All the time, we regret the things we have yet to do and always wanted. Even if we had a list, time forbids us to ever fulfill our dying wishes.

But for me, I will reminisce. And somehow, the biggest worry coming off the top of my head is: who will remember me? I'm not that kind of attention-seeking whore but I guess, in our own way, we all want to be remembered when our times is up.

Don't you wish people would gasp in shock and cringe momentarily when they see your obituary in the newspaper? Wouldn't you wish to be at a funeral so grand that more people turned out to see you off than at your wedding or other big festive occasion? And could you go in peace knowing that your best friends from the past never knew that you had gone? Worst still they have forgotten.

This got me thinking: Perhaps, I need to set aside a book of contacts and in my will, delegate my beloved family members to give a ring to the people I treasure the most should I pass away.

There are several individuals I would like to see at my funeral and I guess if I still remember, this thought will materialize into action.

Don't forget me.
