My life never fails to surprise me. Whether from the front, back, left or right, it never fails to surprise me. Life is stressful, what happened to those days where we sit in front of the television set and watch PPG or some weird child show like Hi5 or something?( This depends on what you watch. I watch Spongebob!) What happened to those days where we could do nothing all day and lay in the soft sofas and eat sweets or chips? Where did those day go? As we age or grow up, we seem to lose contact with those days we love and hate. Like we love the kindergarten time where we look so innocent, unsure what we are going to meet, touch, smell, eat, watch, look or hear the very next second. Unsure what the future got to offer us. Like we hated those days where your kindergarten teacher gives you a piece of paper to practise your A,B,C on a dotted line that makes out the alphabets when you connect them together by drawing over it.
As we entered primary or secondary school life, everything changed drastically. D-R-A-S-T-I-C-A-L-L-Y. Homeworks begin to pile up and fill your entire table and life. Every day in our mind is to "Go home and finish homework. Go home and finish homework" or " Die, tomorrow must hand up this homework". And everyday instead of going back to your home, you find yourself in a 10m by 10m room with tables and chairs and a cool aircon or fan blowing in your face. Your favourite tutor sitting on the chair, impatiently waiting for you to arrive. A one to one tution. She/He taps the table lightly with her/his fingers in a rhythm. "Tap, tap, tap."
You sit down for over 4 hours straight. Leg and body having muscle cramps. Finally your tutor stands up and you heaved a sigh of relief. It's over. Or it is? The answer is a firm NO. You make your way home only to find your another favourite teacher is in your house. She/He sits on the sofa and drinking some juice or tea your mum made. Your mum then hurries you to eat dinner and start you lesson immediately. Your wolfed down cold rice and drank 2 mouthful of soup and embarks on another journey. Sitting in front of the piano, you played a piece. "Wrong,wrong,wrong" your teacher says and you played again and again till you got it right.
And so on so forth. Your life is like a cycle. Wake-up, School, Tution, Piano Lesson, Homework then Sleep and you do it everyday without fail except holidays where you find yourself in some course or workshop. Day after day after day. CYCLE.
Life becomes stressful as you grow up and leave your warm, cozy nest. Society just dumps whatever they want you to do in your face. Dump, dump, dump. Homework, homework, homework. Projects, projects, projects. Life was never easy but we never gave up. The truth is, Truth Always Hurts...
Life is full of surprises. You should cherish every single day you have now and not waste it. Everyday is everyone's birthday, don't care if it's really your birthday. To be able to see the morning sun-light everyday and get out of bed is lucky. Celebrate today and the days that come cause you never know what happens tomorrow or after you finish reading this post. Celebrate it because you are given a chance to be here again like you are being born.
Sounds too fancy monkey? Well that's what I feel about life now. Stressful but still we should cherish it and forgive all sins. Do yourself a good deed, forgive others and live with no regrets. Like the book- Five People You Meet in Heaven wrote- Life ends but love doesn't.
