life is fragile. cherish it. sounds cliche, doesn't it?
but really, you should learn.

i saw my granduncle today. he has liver cancer, terminal stage. and when i got there, he was struggling even to breathe. you know, perserverance doesn't work in life and death. you see his determination to keep himself alive, yet you know the grim reaper is going to take his life away. it is sad, when you do not even have the energy to say your last words to your family. all you could do is keep yourself awake, hoping to get any short glimpse of them, as your life disappears gradually away. i wonder what happens after that, when everything is dark? when you close your eyes, when you never get to see the world again? when you lose all senses? i admit i'm scared of death, especially now. can you imagine not being in this world anymore? no more looking at colourful objects, no more smelling or tasting or hearing or feeling, no more existence.. and soon everyone will get on with life, and you'll be forgotten. i can't accept this reality. but sooner or later, it'll happen.
so be happy. live life with no regrets. :)
