No luxurious items, except our king size mattress with its story. And the precious bookshelf to store our precious collections. The rest is just kitchen utensils and plenty of books <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s.tabulas.com\/ik\/smilies\/yellow\/smile.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<div>It humbles me, whenever I think of what we have. It&#8217;s not much, and yet it&#8217;s something also. That we&#8217;re still far better of than those who have none. Indeed, we&#8217;ve many clothes &amp; books.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I remember when was young, as little child, i treasured my small treasure box. And i used to store Singapore dollar notes (2,10,20), which i kept like it&#8217;s treasure. The box still there, whenever i go home, i always cherish that memory. A small boy, holding up to his treasure box so tightly.<\/div>\n<div>Today, it&#8217;s not of much value anymore. What i treasured so much in past, has lost its value over time. And soon, what i treasure today too, all the money in banks \/ wealth accumulated, will soon lose their values. As i was again reminded through the online sermon&#8230;.&#8221;naked we came, naked we&#8217;ll depart.&#8221; Nothing is really gained by accumulating &amp; storing up things. Their values depreciate over time, and we don&#8217;t carry them when we depart.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>1 year from now, or 10 years from now, when the other side ask me,&#8221;what do you have?&#8221;.
