Wake-up call

I got up this morning to get ready for work and realised that there was no water. Hmmmm... how am I going to brush my teeth and bathe? Doh. I SMS'd my boss to tell him that I would be needing to take urgent leave.
Wow. This was really a timely reminder to not take things for granted. We are so used to turning on the tap and have an abundance of water flow out. Water is such a simple thing but yet it is so crucial to our lives. I have a renewed respect for it and now count myself blessed to be born in Singapore. I can't imagine being born in a third world country where you don't have a supply of clean water and not know when your next meal will be arriving.
