I wanted to talk a little bit more about my feelings in this video when I was singing this song. Few days ago while I was outstation with my family for CNY holidays, just so happen that my aunt(大姑) passed away on the day we were supposed to come back to KL. It happened out of our surprise. Me and my parents then attended her funeral and cremation. When I was in front of her coffin paying my last respect to her, I was sad but deep down I'm relieved that she moved on peacefully. There are people who attended her funeral who mourn and grief of what happened to her.
Throughout this whole incident, I was thinking that "It's ironic where the time that people will remember you the most is when you're on your death bed."
Oftentimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to staying connected with the people around us. While we are focusing so much over ourselves and our own life and neglecting this aspect of connecting with people around us in our life, we do not realize that they will be gone too one day, and they have their own lifespan on earth as well. We wouldn't know when their time is up. Once they're gone, they'll never come back, ever.
This incident taught me on having more sense of urgencies on staying connected with the people around me, especially my family and loved ones.
"When do you think people die? When they are shot through the heart by the bullet of a pistol? No. When they are ravaged by an incurable disease? No. When they drink a soup made from a poisonous mushroom!? No! It's when... they are forgotten." - Dr. Hiluluk (One Piece)
This quote itself struck deep within me as I feel the weight of this statement itself.
To everyone of you out there who is in this lifetime journey called "life" and for those of you who are having your personal struggles, know that you are not alone when you FEEL like you're alone. Just like the name of the song itself, "One Call Away", you're just one call away from your loved ones. :) Hope you enjoy this song!
P.S: A special S/O to @heartscally who is at overseas alone currently, you're not alone aites! :) :) :)
