Woke up to Michael Jackson playing loudly in the living room downstairs. These days, my mom is pretty obsessed with MTV for news and videos of Michael Jackson. And now, I'm sitting here watching MJ videos with my parents. There are some of my favorite songs like Ben, Man in the Mirror, Ghosts, Why and more. Watching the video of him singing Ben at the age of 14, for some reason, touched my heart and for the first time since hearing the news of his passing, I cried.
This is the situation. You die. Everyone mourns. A few years down the road, people will be like "Who?". And suddenly, its like you never existed in the first place. You've been wiped out from every single memory. And what happens to you? Nobody knows. The fact that a person can cease to exist is what scares me. Is there really such a thing as reincarnation, or do people make that up just to make themselves feel better about dying?

hahahaha! same like my mum! she told my dad, "hey come look! he was already starting to look ugly when he was a little kid!!" hahahaha char dou to the max.
well, you know what they say, life is overrated. just be happy while you're alive, that's all that matters so that you won't regret when your time comes. what happens after you're dead won't matter anymore. cause you wont be around to know.
"what happens after you're dead won't matter anymore. cause you wont be around to know."
thats the scary part :S
but why? there's nothing to be afraid of if u know that u have ppl that really cares abt u.
haha. im not so sure about that. how do we really know a person? how do i know who really cares for me? i knew a guy for so many years and he was a really close friend. but he could turn against me for a girl he only met for 3 months because he liked her sister.
that just shows you no matter how much u know a person, u could always be wrong.
but why would he need to turn... argh, nvm. well then you still have your family. anybody. even one person, who would just hold your hands at your dying moments, as corny as it sounds, i think it's enough. but then , we never know when we'd die. and therefore we'd never know if those ppl would still be around. okay sorry i should stop haha. getting too elaborative of my own personal opinions.
but dying is just dying lahhh. we only get to die once, however scary or painful it may be, that's the one and that's it. whether there'd be afterlife or not, everyone you knew or known would already be there or coming right behind you.
