today is my bro's birthday.. everyone is here over at our place talking and laughing out loud. Sing songs and spill jokes. Its a merry occasion.
but on another place, its my friend's wake, where the atmosphere is more serious.. Solemn i should say.. though i did not attend. i dun mean to mix these 2 highly opposite events together.. but its just a food for thought. Just like taking a ride in the hospital lift. when the 6th storey door opened, u see a nurse wheeling a body covered in white blanket through the corridor, with people crying, shaking the blanket covered body, fists banging on the wall... den, the door closes, muffling the wailings behind.
The 10th floor and the door opened, loving couples pointing and peering into a glass window, den the cries of infants were heard behind the window pane.. with smiles replying from the couples.
With just one ride, u witnessed 2 very extremes.. life and ..death.
yep.. life is so unpredictable, so let us not forget it's cruelity and also, to enjoy and cherish life's beauty even more.
with rgds,
