& life has no promise but death;

to all those who are grieving or mourning over the loss of a loved one.

perhaps i have no right to speak, as an outsider; perhaps death has never touched me with its icy grasp as hard as it has for many others, but i do know that death is not a trigger for depression, rather, the loss is a stimulant for us to live life in its entirety, to breathe in the smell of earth and grass before we are lying in it, to smile & touch other people's lives so that your memory remains even if you are gone, to feel all the emotions in the world before we are numb.

please keep them in your prayers, both the lost & the ones who lost.

on to less morbid issues, today's been a wonderful day. didn't go to school, went out with dad & sis for the entire afternoon! bought another set of liang2 yu3 sheng1's wuxiaxiaoshuos, YES i'm going to be broke soon it's like the fourth i've bought in a week. gulp. & guess what i saw, bai2 fa4 mo2 nv3 zhuan4 selling at tsvision @ tiongbahru, the one i've been searching for for eons! hoho. love. will go buy sometime next week. :)

whee the potc soundtrack is gorgeous. except i really cant figure out why there is a WALTZ in it.

mum saw my musicessentials membership card and nearly fainted, apparently i look much worse in it than i thought i did. hoho just a reminder to all people taking photos never ever to sniff when you're posing in front of the camera even if you have a terrible cold. basically your mouth goes wonky, you look like you're crying, your nose looks skewed, your neck bones stick out in a very unnatural way and your entire head tilts. not good.

monster house is a cute movie! my gosh steven spielberg & his animations are the rock.

today's another one of the days i feel like hugging everyone i meet. which is very rare, but a nice warm feeling. shall settle with hugging my pillow for now while i scurry off to read. YES IM STILL NOT IN MUGGING MOOD YET. diediedie.

oh, i found this on a quotes website, said by henry scott holland, whoever he is, thought it was quite pretty, so here you go!

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away into the next room,
I am I and you are you;
Whatever we were to each other,
That we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used,
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we shared together.
Let my name ever be the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect,
without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant,
It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval,
somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well.
