Surprise surprise. finally a post after 5 grand months. Well i wouldn't have if it weren't for this TV series that i watched with my aunties just now. Just a single episode of that series sent me into such deep thoughts that i had trouble sleeping. So am writing this post at 12am when i shd really be sleeping. Felt so compelled to pen down what my thoughts are.

It's this singapore series called "A Child's Hope" on NTV 7. The episode that i watched was about this family in which ALL 3 children have serious health problems, 2 of which cant walk due to some genetic disorder, and another had kidney problems so had to go to the hospital every single day. Said family is heavily dependant on their mom who made tons of sacrifice. Just when a slight ray of hope seemigly shines through after a succesful kidney transplant from the mom to the child, the mom had to get into a car accident after an attempt to rescus another one of their children.

(The way i said it really doesn't do the touching story any justice. I shd be forgiven for my limited choice of word at 12.15am when my brain doesn't function too well.)

Even as i'm typing this, just how many ppl in the world are suffering from the pain in losing their family member? And how many are struggling to merely stay alive via support of machines? it makes it all the more clear to me as to how fragile humans are. A single nerve that went wrong can paralyse us. A single disorder in our nucleotide sequence can bring about serious and fatal health complications. One really cannot study Biology without acknowledging the presence of The Higher Being much much more seperior than us. Time and time again i'm left in awe as to how wonderfully humans are made. So many nerves, organs, tissues and control systems going on in our body that have potential to go wrong. We're really lucky just to be alive.

And it brings me to shame that for the past few days all that i worry about is to lose that 3-5 kg so i can fit into my old jeans. Pui! Such a trivial matter that "trivial
is totally an understatement.

We're really lucky just to be alive. So take on each day's challenge with smiles and grace, for there're many who yearn to be in our position to just be able to enjoy the feeling of being able to go under the sun. and all that we do is complain about the hot weather that sends us sweating profusely. i am shameful and guilty.
