I go0gle-ed about him and found out that he's the Crocodile Hunter. I told my sis that I'm suspecting that it's a prank . Then she told me that it's real. It's in the 1.30pm news. I missed the news because I was busy preparing for an appointment.

I found out that he has died after being struck in the chest by a stingray's barb while filming on a documentary that he worked together with his daughter who is only 8. My eyes started to fill with tears. It's very sad. He died at only 44 and left behind his wife and two children who he loved so much and they too love him dearly too. What's most important is that he's passionate with what he's doing and I'm sure he left this world without regrets. He died when he's doing something he loved. It's better than died of sickness or road accident etc.

My condolences for his family. Sigh.. nothing much we can do. You'll never know when you'll leave this world.

This tragedy reminded me of my late-bf. He was happily holidaying and relaxing at Phuket his favourite island in the whole wide world after hectic months of work when the gigantic waves (I just can't say that word out, even hearing that word feel like having a needle poking my heart) hit the island on Boxing day 2004. He passed away on his beloved island. He always told me that we should live our lives to the fullest without regrets. Though it's very traumatic and sad for losing him to the waves on his favourite island but he had lived his life to the fullest and doing great things to people around him, be it his own family, friends or strangers. I'm sure Mr. Irwin will have no regrets too.

I got a call this morning to wish a belated happy birthday from overseas. I'm not revealing who this person is. This person wishes were really meaningful. It's inspired by the tragedy that hit Steve Irwin and of course my late-bf(let's just put it this way that this person knows my late-bf and s is someone close to him). I was told by this person to be happy everyday, live my life to the fullest, there shouldn't be any regret no matter what and be a good girl. Is there more? Maybe yes, maybe no... I'm so sorry, I was already in tears and my ear was a bit deaf already.

It made me think of these questions:
Do you live your life to the fullest?
Do you treat everyday as if it's your last day in this world?
Why people that do great things die young?
Do you ever asked yourself these questions?

Live life the fullest... I did but I realised that I had not stick to it ever since I lost him. I was influenced by him. It had given me a wake up jolt.

Treat everyday as my last day in this world... Hmmm... I don't think I do. If you don't live your life to the fullest, it's impossible for you to live each day as the last day of your life.

Why they die young? He died young too. Steve died young too. I really don't know. However, no matter they die young or old, they already lived their everyday life to the fullest. They know that they've done what they should and there would be no regrets.

Should we start to ponder what life is all about and evaluate our life? Do yo ever ponder about these?
