Pretty Maybeline
Thursday, 5 November, 2009 Hiya guys! I sincerly apologise for not updating this space. I do still blog, just that i don't post it out cos some fragment of thoughts are just not meant for the general public.
It's already the third week of school and so far so good. Apart from the 4 out of 5 8am timetable, everything else seems pretty alright. What have i been doing lately? I had a pincic with Sharon and Van, Slumber at Sher's, Bry and Mark's bday Chalet, Halloween party in school and in church... Recent events pictures can be found on my Facebook! :D
Anyw, today is quite an awesome day cos we had One World Day in school. It's like this exhibition that showcases the different Asean countries and their rich cultural heritage. We sampled different food, learnt how to make korean paper doll and took photos in different ethnic costumes. After that, me and Sher went to this Hindu temple in Chinatown for our Understanding Cross Cultural Diversity project. It's an eye-opener to us and i would definitely appreciate the importance of religion harmony after seeing how different everyone is.
After that, we went to catch My Sister's keeper with the rest of the bimbs, Faris, Kel and big Shaun. I've never cried as hard in a cinema and this is so much sadder than Titanic or The notebook! I tried controlling my sobs but it's like so out of control cos it's really really sad. You should catch it to know what i mean! Even the guys teared!
I've always wondered if there is a book written about my life and if each day is like a chapter, today's title would be something like 'Discovering differences, Appreciating Today'. It seems like today's theme is exploring and expriencing different ethnicity, religion and background. It's a very wierd thing. Only can i fanthom how precious my homeland, my faith, and good health are to me after i've seen another side of the coin. I think people tend to take things for granted when we are in our comfort zone and everything seems like it's suppose to be that way. But can you imagine yourself to be born handicap/sick in another less fortunate country where there is no religion freedom? Shudders shudders.
And after watching My Sister's Keeper, i think death is not as scary. It's the letting go part that's painful. Does it occur to you that you're going to die one day, that you'll have a funeral in the future. What are your regrets if you're going to drop dead tomorrow? What will people say of you at your funeral? Will your friends turn up? Who's going to remember you? What will people's memory of you be?
But still, before that day comes, we should all live our life to the best of our abilities. There's this cliched saying: live life as if it's the last. What will you do if today is your last day on earth?
P.S: Don't crack your brain too much, it's just rhetorical questions that's not worth the funeral of your brain cells.
:D Good day peeps!
the RAINBOW CROSS OVER @ 5:31 AM.
