Typed out a super long post. And blogger just deleted everyting D:
So I would just have to cut everything short, and I have cut it really short.
My previous post was much much longer and detailed :(
It has been about a week NJRC has passed, and I'm really missing Zinc, alot.
But I guess, there's things in life that we have to put down..
And I'm really really happy that I'm still saying hello and chatting with my seniors (:
Hmm. So life has been revolving around normal school day.
I can say, it has been rather stressful and I'm rather confused and tired.
Things that I had least expected had happened.
Friendship has turned into a clearer word to me after what has happened in fact.
I've come to the fact that maybe some friends arent worth your care and concern.
Because of what they've done behind you, although you treated them as a friend.
Anyways, I was watching a Channel U show just now, a sort of volunteer show.
There were mediacorp artists who went around the world to help others.
And this week, they went to mongolia to help the orphanage children..
When I watched the show, I was thinking "That's how simple life can be."
The children there, their life has been spent so wonderfully ...
They are going through and enjoying what I really call life.
Everyday, they are facing the blue skys, green fields,cattle and spending time together.
They have to cook for themselves, look after themselves, sleep together etc.
And the people they have with them are, friends. They go through thick and thin together.
Friends are their source of love, what's keeping them going.
There they are, living a not so fortunate yet happy and simple life.
Here we are, facing stress from exams, having friendship/family problems, not being
contented with ourselves, procastinating life ...
Why is it that we cannot treat life from another perspective?
On how fortunate we are to have been born in such a wonderful environment ..
While there are children out there who's living independantly, who's living such a simple life.
Its not that we have been treated differently, its just that we were born into different 'worlds'.
Our definition of the word 'happiness'.
To them, happiness was time spending together with each other. The laughter and smiles that
were on their faces came from the bottom of their hearts.
To us, happiness is scoring well at examinations, winning over our peers in what we do, getting
crazy over our idols etc.
See how big the difference can be?
There was this boy there in mongolia.
He had been in the orphange for 7 years because his mum had taken drugs.
Through that 7 years, his mum has visited him only once. Just that one time.
She never came back again. Never.
However, when the artist asked if the boy would ever want to see his mum again if she came back, his reply was " Yes, definitely."
When I was watching till this part, I was like ... ... never am I going to forgive my mum if she had done this to me. But this boy has taught me that family really is everything. If even him, who has been abandoned by his mum for 7 years is willing to forgive his mum, why are we quarelling with our parents everyday over small things? Is forgiveness really that difficult?
The artist also asked him what was he wish (it was his b'day) and this was what we replied:
"I don't know, I really don't know. I'm not even sure if I'll be dying tomorrow."
And when he was asked what his wish was, his reply:
"I want to have a house. So that I can live with my sisters and mum."

That simple. That's how simple a dream of a 16 year old boy can be.
I'm wondering. Is it that difficult to change our perspective of life? Probably, yes.
Cherish Life. Love Life. Imagine. Imagine how it would be like if we lived in another 'world.'

I am going to work hard. FIGHTING SASHA! :D
