I watched 'The Leap Years' yesterday. Stars Li Lin, Ananda Everingham, Qi Yu Wu & Joan Chen. Sad, romantic, sweet love story. As usual, I cried. None of my other friends did, so they laughed at me for being emotional. Fine. I admit. Guess I'm just easily touched. Wonder if that's a good or bad thing after all.
"In three words, I've learnt everything I needed to know about life -- It goes on."
I heard this quote before, but somehow, seeing it appear in the show yesterday stirred up some feelings again. Quite a sad quote dun you think? That even if the sky comes crumpling down, life still has to go on.
Even if a loved one decides to break up with you after a 5-year relationship, life goes on.
Even if your parents are getting divorced tomorrow, life goes on.
Even if you fail your thesis and can't obtain your master degree, life goes on.
Even if a famous celebrity passed away today, life goes on.
Even if a car accident ripped you of your limbs and you become paralysed, life goes on.
Even if you get paid $2K a month and your job sux, life goes on.
Even if the worst of the worst happens to you, as long as you are breathing, life just goes on.
I can write a never ending list here if I wanted to. Of the bad things that can happen to someone. But I guess if we are to always mourn or be sad about the bad things in life, we should also remember all the good things in life that happened to us. Fair mah. Haha. If not, we will take the happiness for granted and complain that life ain't fair when bad things befall.
When you get a promotion in your job or a pay raise, life is good and it goes on.
When you go overseas for a fabulous getaway and have a great relaxing time wif ur frenz, life goes on.
When you attend your best friend's wedding and cry as she says her vows, life goes on.
When you see your baby niece coming into this world, life goes on.
When you go on a shopping spree, life goes on.
When you watch a movie that touches your heart, life goes on.
When you go St James and have fun partying wif ur beloved frenz, life goes on.
When you have CNY steamboat wif your loved ones in the comfort of your home, life goes on.
When you receive a nice bday wish or prezzie from a long lost fren, life goes on.
When you hold your granny's hand in yours as you cross the road, life goes on.
When you win $$ at mahjong, be it just $2, life goes on.
When you go par tor with the love of your life, even if you dine at a hawker centre, life goes on.
When you finally accept his marriage proposal, life is good and it goes on.
RIGHT?
Countless other good things can happen to me and to you. & when it happens, I wanna be grateful for it. I wanna cherish it. I wanna remember that feeling of bliss in my heart always.
Bad things or good things, come what may. I guess I'm prepared for it! Haha. Zuo ren yao kan de kai. & be positive about life, which in itself is the most precious gift there ever can be.
I just told a good fren of mine today that I'm the kind of person who laughs very hard when something good happens, and cry my heart out when something bad occurs. But after the cry, I guess I will pick myself up and treat it as a lesson of life. Are you like me? Letting emotions dig deep of you, allowing it to control you sometimes, allowing your tears to flow, allowing your laughter to burst out, allowing each and every emotion to strike a chord in your heart. Probably you will understand me better if you are a girl. Haha. Not that guys are deviod of emotions, but somehow, they can suppress it better than girls.
Lalala. Right. End of today's thoughts. Ciaoz!
