Entry 08 - Cherish your life ;)

MARCH

Time really do flies, don't they? ;) Tests are all over, and holidays are here. 7 days are short enough, and in a blink of eye, holidays are overrrr :( I can never understand why time passes so fast when we are enjoying while time ticks by slowly when we are doing boring stuff, such as having exams, attending tuitions and even studying.Still, what is important is, after these tests, I know that I do not prepare well enough and I need to improve, I mean, really improve.

- Saturday -
I woke up very early and I went to the market with my mum. I have seen a very touching scene and it still remains in my mind until now. While everyone is crowding at the market, pushing one another to get through, he is trying to sing songs, standing with difficulty in the crowd. He is a man who has probems with his legs, which means he is an OKU. At first, I did not notice him and I just put a one-buck note into his money box. When my mum was busy choosing potatoes, I was bored so I was randomly observing people around me. Then, I saw him walking with difficulty, dragging his leg step by step, and singing along. Some people were shooting him murdurious looks maybe because they think his voice is not good enough compared to the singers, some people stare at him as if he is an aline from nowhere. Guess what is on his face? NOTHING. He put on a brave front and continue singing while walking. Arghhh. Words can't describe much. Maybe people won't understand how touching that scene is because they are not there, but I really have lots of emotions in me at that moment. He did not give up on his life, although he is not a normal person like we all are. He did not care about others thinking about him. He earns his living by singing and did not surrender to life nor blame God for not giving him a normal life. At least he do something with his life, which I believe a lot of us will actually give up on life when we meet difficulties.Imagine you lose your legs. What will you do? will you continue to fight for yourself and live your life differently? Or will you give up and ends your life because you are not a normal person and you are afraid of what people thinks or says about you? I am so ashamed with myself, because I know, I would have pick the secong choice. I am a coward. I care too much about what people thinks and says. And that's why, I suffered. Worrying too much just make a thing worst, and it makes me a worst person.
If you wait long enough and try hard enough, something good is bound to turn up ;)

Flicking through pages, I learnt more about life. In two days time, I finished reading two storybooks. Well, I love reading storybooks since young, but what I don't understand is 'how come my english still sucks?' :( Okay,back to topic. Yesterday, I read The Woman He Loved Before and today, I just finished The Ice Cream Girls by Dorothy Koomson. I love this author very much, and I almost read every of her books. I learnt a lot about life in her books and just now, I have learnt that we are not supposed to take things for granted.Yeah, we all know that we should appreciate life, but did we do so? Well, my answer for myself is 'Definitely No'. I am trying to cherish everything that happens in my life, I am trying to cherish my loved ones - my family, my relatives, my friends, my best friends, or even kind strangers who helped me out. I am still trying, to not be imperfect, although we humans are supposed to be imperfect.I am still trying my best to live my life happily, take control of my own life. We should learn to forgive those hateful people who hurt us, but don't forget those lessons they gave us. We should learn to give people chances, and not judging them by looks. So, people(including myself), keep trying and learning. Life is short, you never know what is happening tomorrow, so, cherish your life! ;) <3
Life is full of things and instances that are out of your control ;)

Starting a diary is good for me to get my thoughts down when I don't have anyone to talk to, and to record what happens next in my life.
And that is why I love to write diaries :D
