Last week-end, my wife went down south, to Muar, some 300 km from our place to attend
a relative's wedding. She went with her sister and brother-in-law.  Weddings are a great
opportunity to meet again long distant relatives and catch-up with the latest happenings within the clan.
One sad news is the fact that one of the relatives, my wife's uncle, who is 80+, is now bed-ridden - and need to be taken care of.  I view this with distress, invalids who become a burden to those of their relatives, dependent
on others' constant help for their physical needs.
Hence, there is a greater resolve to do whatever I need to do, for the upkeep of my health, to continually
doing physical exercises, well balanced-diet, and intellectual nourishment with lots of reading.  I definitely
do not want to be a burden to others by being an invalid when I am old.
