Panadol pills are really effective y'know. I was suffering from a throbbing migraine the entire of today and one pill killed it all.
Caught Cleo's dance. Shot hoops with Esme at the arcade and tolerated very bad service/attitude from the cashier. Dinner at Old HK Kitchen at Novena w/family. They serve good Beijing duck, stew oxtail, braised tofu I promise!!! Even the fish soup tasted okay for once- P.S. I h8 fish. Omg i miss HK more than ever now! Anyway, just go and try it.
Liverpool VS Manchester United
4-1
Missed the first 4 goals because we only caught the last 20 min. But I think watching soccer is fun!!!

Death
Are you afraid of death?
Where will we go when we die?
Into another world or just disappear from Earth forever?
To be honest, I'm very afraid of death because it means being away with people whom I love, things/places which I love/am familiar with forever. Death means going into another space all alone. Death is filled uncertainty which makes it so fearful. And I hate the idea of separation, the last time etc.
But unfortunately, death is inevitable, so what matters is how we look upon it. Do we adopt an attitude that death is imminent so that we will live everyday with no regrets? Or do we forget about its existence so that we can live our live happily and positively?
Life
For everything, there is a reason and purpose. So what's our purpose of living? Sometimes, we all feel so stressed up because we fail to see far or see our purpose.
We came to this Earth with nothing and when we depart, we will leave with nothing too. So is pursuing fame and material that important? Jet Li has been very inspiring in this aspect with him setting up his Jet Li One Foundation which was being featured in Reader's Digest a few months back. Sometimes, when you realise how small fame is, you will realise how big the world is. In pursuing fame, our vision is like being confined. When you put down all your material thoughts, you will find that actually everything can be so simple and everyday can be such a joyful day? But how do we achieve that? Do we need a life-and-death experience like Li?
If we only get to live once as who we are, why do we trap ourselves in living up to the expectations of others? For example if you are a comedian, the entire world thinks that you should be hilarious at all times and bring joy to others who are feeling sad. But unfortunately, you are not even given the right to be depressed. It's really tiring, very tiring I think. I'm quite lucky in this aspect because other than Mrs.Chia, nobody, not even my parents, has once express their disappointment with my performance etc. My parents, esp my dad gives me a lot of freedom in what I can/want to achieve because after all it's my life and I really appreciate that.
But sometimes, we set high expectations of ourselves that really exhaust us both mentally and physically too. And our expectations, are they related to our purpose in life?
I hope to seek answers. Soon.
