Monday, January 10, 2005Did anyone watch the ren ci charity show last night? Well I did, and I was deeply moved by each and every true life story they showed… and every time they show these true life stories, I never fail to have tears rolling down my cheeks. Life is really unpredictable huh… it sounds ridiculous when people say, “you may never know what can happen, for all you know, tomorrow you may not be around anymore”. Honestly I never believed a word of it, how can anyone’s life, just turn topsy-turvey in a moment, and sometimes its not even their fault… why must some people take the punishment for others? Why can’t those people who have done wrong be punished? Why must the most innocent people, like those in the ren ci hospital suffer the consequences of their recklessness? I don’t understand, and I doubt I ever will…Looking at the clips they screened, I admire the families of these patients for their unconditional love, and their unfailing faith to their loved ones, they never gave up on them, and continued showering love, visiting them everyday without fail, cleaning them up. I wasn’t solely moved by their actions but by their emotional strength, the power they possess to wake up everyday despite the inner pain and misery, to go and visit them everyday despite the heart wrenching sight of their loved ones lying vulnerably in bed. The simple wish of one day being able to bring them back and eat a proper meal, or just to celebrate Chinese new year. I’m even more amazed by the patients, for their will to continue living day after day, despite knowing how much anguish and suffering they must have brought to their loved ones, and in hope of recovering one day… Being mobile and able to walk around, having both arms and legs are things we all posses but how come we never treasure them? How come we never treasure and love the things around us until we’ve lost them… everyday we ask for things, for this handphone, for more money, and even for a better life… but compared to those on the hospital beds, aren’t we far luckier than them? We’ve everything we possible need, family, friends, and food that’ll last us through everyday, but yet we’re never contented… looking back at my past 2 entries I suddenly find myself so selfish, I only thought of how unhappy I was, but I’d never consider how fortunate I was to be able to go to school regardless of where I am… I’m lucky to be jumping and alive and so, what more can I ask? What right have I got to ask for anything else anyway? I feel so utterly ashamed at myself for being so self-centered… urgh… now all I wish is for just 1, 1 person in the hospital to be well and walking… and to see the delighted faces of their families. And I pray that these family members will have the courage and strength to pull through everyday… so shall we all pray together? And I also pray that my grandfather will be alright… please be alright… I’m planning on doing some volunteer work during the hols at ren ci hospital, if anyone’s interested in joining me, just tell me k… meanwhile, let’s pray… Some people live for the fortune Some people live just for the fame Some people live for the power yeah Some people live just to play the game Some people think that the physical things define what's within And I've been there before But that life's a bore So full of the superficial Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you baby If I ain't got you baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you Some people search for a fountain That promises forever young Some people need three dozen roses And that's the only way to prove you love them Hand me the world on a silver platter And what good would it be? With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you baby If I ain't got you baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you, you, you Some people want it all But I don't want nothing at all If it ain't you baby If I ain't got you baby Some people want diamond rings Some just want everything But everything means nothing If I ain't got you If I ain't got you with me baby Nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing If I ain't got you with me baby |
