When Allianz posed this question – what is the one thing that matters most to you, the first thing that came to mind was without doubt, my Family.
I never thought about death before. But after Fighter was born, he became so precious to me, the most valuable thing I have. And when something is so precious, the fear of ever losing it increases. From worrying that I’d drop him down the stairs (yea wtf right) to him falling sick to SIDS, that little nugget of worry is omnipresent.
And that extended to the rest of my family. For some weird reason which I’ve never understood, Fatty thinks he’ll die earlier than me. Die earlier than me never mind since statistically women outlive men. But not just die earlier, he thinks he’ll die young WTF. So he’s always talking about making a will (why!? He got premonition ah!?) which obviously freaks me out.
And my parents are also not young anymore. 🙁 As a kid they were invincible to me and I still can’t believe someday they may not be around. Neither have suffered any major illness so far thank goodness but anything could happen as we age. Every time I think about it I wanna cry wtf.
Once in a while I’ll have these morbid thoughts about one of them (none about Ooib cos he seems pretty immortal) and go cold all over.
So I guess what really matters to me is that my family is well.
I wish that Mummy and Fat Her Ooi will live to a ripe old age with their health and faculties intact. I hope that they won’t worry about their future and retirement because Ooib and I will take care of them. *thumps chest. I hope that if someday they have to leave me, it will be with their dignity and in peace, without suffering.
For Fatty, I hope we grow old together. I hope we remain best friends and partners and sweethearts until the end of our days, come what may. And that he doesn’t die before me WTF.
And Fighter, I hope he grows up well and healthy. Mostly I hope he grows up kind. He doesn’t have to be rich but he has to be smart enough not to get cheated wtf.
What’s the most important thing to you? It could be family, health, a dream. Or even money wtf. Here’s the ad bit of this post: Share what’s the 1 thing that matters to you at malaysia.allianz-matters2me.com and get a FREE umbrella from Allianz. While stocks lasts.

I have that as well. Sometimes I think about the future and I worry that my family will go faster than me and then I get all emotional out of the sudden. Friends may go, but family stays forever T_T!
ya I always wish time would stand still lol
I know the feeling of what u saying, my dad is very old and am living soo far from him, I always have this feeling I will lose him it is hard, ur post made me ccry, it is true when it comes to life, family is the only thing matters, money comes and goes, friends are the same, but family is the only thing u cant replace, I wish u live a very long happy and healthy life with ur family, and enjoy every second cause every second goes we cant bring it backnxox
Family ♡ but then my mum just enjoys telling me and my bro that she won’t live long and all. I’ll always tell her to cut it out coz every time she says that I’ll be super upset. :((
My hubby always says he will die before me.. n he is worried about me n our now 8 months old son. I dunno y would guys think this way.. Maybe they think it’s their responsibility to take care of the family and always get worried on what would happen if there r not around. So he went on buying insurance n all.. I really hope he doesn’t die before me. But then it reminds me of a Hokkien’s song lyrics, ‘jia hou’ in Mandarin, ‘geh ao’ in Hokkien. n”When the time comes, I’ll let you go before me, as I won’t bear to see you cry because of my departure..” *sob sob*nHow I wish we could stay healthy and immortal..
for me now, nothing else matters except family.. guess it’s the age thingy that i can’t wait to have my own babies so when i grow old.. they’ve all grown up and can take care of themselves..
hahaha you faster get a baby first!
exactly my thoughts. I also hate it when Fatty says that. so morbid!
ya I don’t like it when people say that either 🙁
