So little girls and little boys, what do we really know about death? Are we certain that we will all die one day?
Yeeeeeeeeees, teeeeeacher.
Do you know how you will die?
Noooooooooo, teeeeeacher.
Will you stand in death's face and courageously accept your fate?
*silence*
That's what I thought as well. We all talk about death and we all face death almost on a daily basis but it is never a solid threat to us. It is always happening to this aunt or that naughty little boy who ran across the road after a stupid football, etc. We talk about their deaths. We talk about death. But can you stand up to death, knowing It is there for you, look It in the face and say, "I've had a good life, I'm ready. TAKE ME! (for those who adores Jim Carry's theatrics)" honestly?
No, this is not a morbid post. Nor is it an intellectual post that requires you to think so deep in your brain which makes drilling a hole through titanium look easy. I am just wondering how swiftly and how near we are actually to death.
I remembered last month when yours truly was down at Gambang for some relaxation. On the 3rd morning I was there, my dad told me that a worker was hit by a lorry while crossing the main road into Gambang Resort. The unlucky chap had his brain mashed at the scene. And to think that it could have been one of the hand few of staffs who were there that I smiled and thanked for doing a deed. True to my nature, I didn't find out who the employee was.
STPM is about 2 months away and I do not want another freaking out episode to occur again. Mid year examinations was bad enough. Trials was barely made through. My head hurts..
I wanna watch CSI and play all the CSI computer games. I was supposed to buy the avatar PS2 game dvd also but I forgot totally about it and chose instead to read lots of books and sleep. I actually voluntarily stayed away from the internet for more than a week! BOO-YAH!!
Where Got Ghost? is a so-so movie. I prefer cute G-Force any day honestly. Poop in his hands! Poop in his hands! I've got tan lines again!! *screams in frustration* I like my tanned look. I'm never gonna settle for milky white like my fellow Asian counterparts.
STOP BEING SO OBSESSED ABOUT BEING WHITE! IF YOU WERE MEANT TO BE WHITE, GOD WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU WHITE PARENTS!
It's such a backward perception that only white, smooth, porcelain-like skin is the epitome of beauty. BULLSHIT. I sound so feminist. *claps in glee* I'm no hard-core feminist either. Don't get me wrong. Beauty is like water - some like it hot, some like it cold, some like it in the pot, 9 days old. Oh wait. That's a rhyme about porridge.
What I meant was, everyone drinks water at different temperatures - 57°, 100°, 0° or 27° and that is their choice. You can't force an ah-ma to take water at 10°. She'll probably knock your head with her cane and complain to your mother about you, the disobedient child who thinks that he/she knows better than the elders. Bla bla bla. All the fuss kicked up. *rolls eyes*
Tastes and opinions, like the seasons, they change. Nothing is permanent in this world for crying out loud! When will people actually get that through that thick skull of theirs?? Even old traditions will one day adapt the new or give way to it. It's either this or that or those. However you look at it from whatever angle.
You know, I would really prefer a life time of reading. Just lazing in bed and reading which was what I did on Saturday until it was time for church. Nevertheless, I will never be satisfied with just that. There is so much in this world that is waiting for me to go out and reach it! I want to see as much of this world as I can. Maybe 5 centuries later, somebody will be lamenting to see as much of this universe as possible. Hrmph!
My birthday is coming up and to hell with plans. I'm doing it my way - I go *charlie's angels pose @ posing maut* with the flow. It'll be extra special next year! Even my mum sounded excited about it. I think. Until she made a comment and spoilt my mood of elation temporarily. I still think next year is awesome! 2010 will be a year never to be forgotten! Not that 2007, 2008 or 2009 is useless or anything.
Yeah, I babbled again here because I had no topic in mind, I had no urge to write and I felt that I had to write something for those who actually reads my blog.
This is dedicated to you all.
It's unbelievably hard to love you but I love you anyway!
Cheers while I struggle into bed marking the end of my holidays. ='(
