[Interviewer]
Can you tell us what brings you here today?

[Stephen]
I am going to meet somebody later this evening and I make sure that my fuel tank is always full.

[Interviewer]
Are you always well prepared like this?

[Stephen]
I am a happy, jolly guy. I don’t take life for granted, I don’t take things for granted. If you don’t prepare yourself and anything happens to you, that’s it! You will regret it.

[Interviewer]
You seem to be very, very happy, can you tell me what your source of strength is? 

[Stephen]
Because in my life, I went through a major heart operation, and it’s a failure. And doctors say I have to be very careful, I can die anytime. And since then, I don’t take life for granted.

[Interviewer]
Is there anything you have regretted not doing in your life?

[Stephen]
My cousin to whom I was very close passed away. He lived in Singapore and I find it hard to travel because of my heart condition. I couldn’t go and see him. Actually, he also had a heart problem for many years. I’m sorry, tears come out of my eyes when I think of him. He was my mentor in life. I mean, when I look at him he was so joyful. Who am I to complain?

[Interviewer]
What is your life’s philosophy? 

[Stephen]
Live one day at a time. Smile, and the world will smile back at you.
