I drove in the pouring rain, my heart beating slighter faster than normal. My mum sitting beside me, and wearing a cardigan to keep out the cold. For the first time, I am afraid of driving. I just received a phone call from the hospital that my grandma(actually she is my grand-auntie, but I treat her as my grandma) has been hospitalised... A feeling of fear engulfed me. I dreaded this feeling, as it was many years ago...

Walking into the ward, I looked around. My heart finally lightened when I saw my grandma, lying on the bed. I am glad she looked fine.

My friend asked me why do people have to die.. I don't think anyone has the answer. I am still trying to figure out why we are here in this world, is it only for the experience. Babies cry when they are just being born into this world. Yet, when they leave this world, the people around them cry... Why am I even blogging here..I have no idea...

Our very existance in life...

I have always wondered about this topic since I was young. Why do we live in this world? There are many definitions to life. One of them are birth, ageing, sick and death. I suppose this is the inevitable process of life. So why do we keep going through this motion? Is there any way that we can get out of this cycle? If so, where will we go?
Nevertheless, we are living in this world, with the prime purpose of survival and continuation of the human race. When one is born into this world, we fulfill our basic needs like hunger and thirst. As we age, our minds develop into something so sophisticated no other species in our world can match. We thrive to be the best in the education system of our different societies. In today's world, being educated is the ultimate tool to success,that is what the majority of the people thought so.

After being 'highly educated', especially during the early 20s, there is a need to find companionship. And that is when love comes in. Even though the individual might face many problems throughout his or her love life, the individual still continues to be in pursuit for love.

And then, the norm is to get married and have babies. Raising children is no mean feat. Parents will then slog for many years to come to provide the best for their children. They will eventually grow old..and the inevitable will arrive- death.

Having said that, what is the purpose in our life? How do we know that everything we see is real? It is our eyes that tell us what we see. Along with our 4 other senses, we make sense of this world.

I recalled yesterday... I was at a toy shop.. And I saw a T-Rex figurine whose mouth could be closed or opened with the force of our fingers. I started to ponder... These are ancient creatures which once lived on our very lands on which we are stepping on at this very moment. And yet, now, we humans, who have taken over, or evolved into, have actually made toys out of these ancient beings. I wonder if in the next million years or so, will we end up like this T-Rex, to be placed on shelves of a toy shop...

Cherish...

Yes, to cherish things around us. More often than not, we go pass the day without realising that many things in life are precious. I am also guilty of that sometimes. I have to remind myself that I have cherish the people and the things that we have a lot. This is especially so towards our loved ones. One must not wait till the person is gone before beginning to learn to cherish the person. Well, it is easier said than done. Many of us live in days of regret as we did not cherish them while they are still around...

Princess Coralie

When I first saw her, it felt like I know her before I even met her. I can't describe this feeling. It is so real but yet so magical. I do not know if this is how she feels also. I just want to get to know her even more each time we talk to each other. There is always something new to talk about and I wish that this never ends. She is absolutely out of this world!

Princess Coralie

A story about a girl, a princess actually... She lives in a far away place called Nevers in France but she stays in Nantes for the next 8 years of her life... She lives in a countryside... and rides horses sometimes, although she isn't very good at it...Her parents divorced when she was very young, perhaps at a couple of years old. She still loves her father and wants him to prove that he still loves her.

Growing up, she likes to go Snow-skiing. She loves taking pictures of her friends when they are falling down. I guess she sees the funny side of life and wants to capture them.

And at home, she loves playing a game called 'Heart Crisis' with her Grandmother. I know she loves it. She loves to be massaged by her mother at home. I think it creates a wonderful bonding between the both of them which will never be eroded through time.

Her favourite colour is pink, even though a particular someone may disapprove of that. Yea, she loves pink precious stones as well, pretty much anything associated with pink, I am sure she loves them. He favourite food is Hawaiian pizzas or pastas. I hope I am not wrong about the pastas. Her favourite disney character is Mulan. I think it is because Mulan reflects her character of being independence and strong-minded qualities. She loves challenges and is unafraid of taking them on even though she is afraid of being alone and in the dark. She doesn't have an all-time favourite song as it changes every week. But it could be Lemon Tree by Fools Gardens. Currently, it is Mon Coeur mon amour by Anais. Wonder what is her next favourite song...? I can't wait to know!

She is a very smart and intellectual girl. She can speak 5 languages- German, French, English, Spanish and is currently learning Mandarin. How many of us can do that? Hopefully, she can teach me some of the other languages that I do not know, like French.

Her favourite pet phrase is , ' Hop, hop, hop... '. I would like her to speak French to me one day.. I once told her that French is a very sexy language to me. Not sure if she remembers...

A kind-hearted lady, she is. She picked up a straying lonely kitten and took care of him since. She named him Orion. Nice name, just like hers. He is her prince. She loves him a lot and massages him before he goes to sleep. She hopes that Orion can massage for her too. Orion likes to go for walks, like a dog. She cannot stand chinese who eat dog meat. This is because she loves cats and dogs so much. I love dogs too. I have always wanted to keep one at home. The dog which I would want to have is the Golden Retriever but my house is too small for a such a big dog...

She likes traditional chinese costumes (qipao). She told me she especially likes the pink ones.( See I told ya, haha) I once told her that the model wearing the qipao is very pretty. Actually, I am thinking of her wearing it. I think she would look stunning in that qipao.

A wonderful friend she is. THe best one can find I think. She wants someone who can be by her side and take care of her. She wants to earn a lot of money and help her sister if anything goes wrong. She is the nicest person, I feel.

A long and everlasting journey awaits...and i can't wait for it to begin! In fact, it has already begun.

Fate

What is the probability of a person meeting another person in this world. I would say one in a million, probably even smaller. Fate is a thing which brings two strangers together. They meet by chance and become friends. A friendship which lasts forever may happen.
