If tomorrow never comes

He was just 14. An age where other kids are enjoying schooling life and so. But that afternoon, fate had got him into an accident. A fate that led him to a very traumatic account. And speaking of fate. Whether it really lies on His hands, or in the hands of the human themselves. It's a doubt again.

He was bleeding profusely from every corner of his head. For 6 hours, that's plenty of time and plenty of blood gone. Recall how much of blood in the body getting out of the system, for a logical mind, if the bleeding continues, there's no point of keep putting in blood. Coz what goes in, will go out eventually, and what else if the bleeding is like a running tap.

It took him another hour for the bleeding to slow down. But guess it's a little bit too late. A point where nobody could tell if any changes made earlier would have a better outcome. But fate claimed his life, or most probably if he made it, that would be a miracle.

It was like a scene in ER, except that everyone was running here and there, but not to him. ironic isn't it. A scene where people if not running, were just looking at him from a far, not even placing a finger on him. Or was that an ever ER scene besides the 2 paramedics attending to him? Another doubt. It would make a lousy ER drama afterall, cause there's so less urgency or anxiety in the faces of those wearing white coats.

In the eyes of everyone that night, it's just another life. What? Yes...just another life. But is his life less precious than you and mine? Third doubt. Look. He's just 14, there's hell lots of life ahead of him if he ever made it. He might even change the world, or become the next PM. Or at least think for one moment, he is someone's child, who was being nurtured for the past 14 years. Be it gd or bad, there were loved ones waiting outside. Ok, that's abit of drama there.

Again. Sometimes I wonder what if tomorrow never comes.

Life as it is

I remember being on the plane while travelling home that day, I had albom's 'Have A Little Faith' accompanying me the whole journey. Indeed, I finished the left over and there was so much thought going on in the head. I was looking out the window, gazing at the dark cloudy sky. It was a mixed of emotions. Questions like life and religion, as if hen or the egg came first, you'll never get an answer. I certainly like an excerpt from the book. I can't recall the exact words, something sounded like how should one believe an existence without sight, smell and touch. But again if one could be seen, touched or smelt, that wouldn't be Almighty right? Thus what we have left is 'faith'! And I think that's an important concept and drives us to believe there's a reason for a living.

The holiday back home proves to be very taxing. I have been sleeping so late everyday waking up also late, and it's really not healthy. In fact, I am paying the price now coz I have fallen ill. The flight was so packed yesterday and there was a sick child beside me. Poor child, she looked so tired but the father was offering some cashew nuts to her, gee...I wonder what they were thinking.

I have watched a couple of nice movies. But "Great Day" proves to be a memorable movie. Perhaps the movie is too heavy for me. It was like going through a roller coaster ride. The emotions were so great that you don't have time to take a break in between breaths. The sceneries were nice and beautiful. Didn't know that we have such beautiful greens in our homeland. A well done local made movie.

It's also nice to have some catching ups to do with the friends. Lots of travellings this time too. I guess I better be going. Will write again when feel better. Adios!
