the Beauty of Life…can you see it?
Another weekend, another week has passed me by. Not that it hasnt been uneventful- one of d most memorable weeks i’ll ever hv dis year. Drama last saturday was a success- well, judging by d applause n cheers anyway. Everything worked 2perfection wif clockwork precision (it should, v practised like mad). Ok, so d script wasnt so gd but at least d action was…
Still…d events of d nex few days made d drama look like child’s play in terms of importance and magnitude. I think most ppl noe by now d unfortunate event tht happened to a family member of our friend here……v’re all deeply disturbed and do sincerely wish for his quick recovery..
Well, d incident served as a reminder to me how fragile life can be. Sure, exams, As, careers and stuff like tht are important but wad use r they whn u dun get to enjoy them?
It pays at times to stop, take a deep breath n look around you. There’re family members, friends, neighbours, even total strangers who deserve our care, attention and love. Some have been giving us exactly that for years. Like our parents and close relatives and close friends. And all we care to say is "I’ve got an exam nex week, can’t meet up". Hell and v dun even say "i love you" once in a while. Come to think of it, do v even pause to think how much v love them?
I wish v cud start appreciating thgs more.Like d fact tht v hv our parents n family. Some don’t. And that v hv frens who care bout us. Some r juz plain lonely and we’re lucky tht v’r not. Most of all, appreciate tht v’r still alive and well, able to live another day and take in its beauty.Don’t u wana start doin tht? i noe i want to…
Speaking about the beauty of life, i just saw one prime example just now of how beautiful life can be if onli u appreciate ur blessings and actuali try ur best to show the ppl around u tht u care for them too..Can’t say much here but "con man", if ur reading this, i’m glad ur doin wad ur doin..mus appreciate wad u hv ya?
All our thoughts and prayers now go to this brother of our beloved friend..Though v may not know him personally, v’re all linked by d chain of love and friendship. May he recover soon and lead a healthy life in the future.
And may all of us wake up to realize that the beauty of life should be appreciated.

Amazing. If only i read this earlier. How thoughtful of you wishing him a quick recovery. Indeed, life is unpredictable and well, perhaps we should appreriate being given the chance to live till now. Yea, may he recover in no time.
Yea, i agree ‘con man’ is doing something that is so unlike him. Perhaps he had realized that in life, chances don’t cross our life often; opportunities don’t arise often and that memories are meant to be treasured and cherished. Then again, i doubt ‘con man’ is a con man after all. I am sure he doesnt intend to be that. In my opinion, I think he’s just a bit reserved about the consequences of his actions…among his friends at least.
