Matter of Time

I've been procrastinating BIG time. The homework which has already shouted itself hoarse calling my name still remains untouched..that is, if i don't count the 8 sums i actually did just this morning...

Anyway, when i procratinate, i constantly tell myself that i've got time to waste..so there's no hurry. Then i just realised that how can lil ol me say something about time in such a profound manner...as if i'm Father Time or something.

Besides, i don't really think that one can actually 'waste' time. I mean, sleeping time away is not wasting time...its getting rest which is good for the body (hahaha...i think i'm just comforting myself at this point...time to drop it)

Now, to say that i've got plenty of time to waste has just gotta be the most snobby thing i could have said. We don't know how much we have left to live. Life can change dramatically all in a day or even a spilt second. Accidents can happen anytime..ppl we know get diagnosed with chronic illnesses unexpectedly... Life is too fragile to be called your own. There only so much control you have over it.

THere was a time when i wished to be with my family all the time. So that if anything happens...it would happen to me too. That was a very emotional time of my life..to the extent of crying for a fear of a loss. (totally wierd and freaky...i think that was due to one of the contagious,fatal epidemics that swept the country. Forgot which one...there were too many. Or it could've just been adolesence- unstable lor) Anyway, I know that's its selfish of me but dying is not as bad as seeing loved ones die.

So life is unpredictable and that's why we should make it a point NOT to leave any skeletons in our closets. Cos if we suddenly were to snuff it then naturally, all our belongings will be..erm...packed away? burnt? (whatever..depends on preference) Then who knows what will turn up.
Also, we should always keep up a good image ,cos just in case we die, ppl will remember us as we were..unless, of course, skeletons showed up.

When ppl say 'Live each day as if it were your last'... Personally, that would be most unpractical if one were to take it literally (unless you know that your days are numbered). So my perception is that what they're really trying to say is 'Don't do anything you'll regret'. So that if this day really were to be ur last day, you won't have to leave with a heavy n restless heart. Not to mention , you won't leave any mess for ur poor family to clear up after u.

SOme ppl find it hard to want to donate their organs... The only reason i can come up with, is that b'cos u have to sign a form for that and maybe afraid that someone (whose interested in ur organs) will come and announce ur untimely death (ie. kill u off). I told this to my maternal unit and she said that that's most unlikely to happen...hahaha...i hope so.

So if that doesn't happen, why aren't there more donors around? I mean, when ur dead...u won't need ur organs anymore. And nowadays...cremation is the way to go (for non-muslims ) So if u donate ur organs...there'll be less to burn (saves space, time, lives and the environment too...think CO2) Of course...we must bury something so leave the bones alone.

Ah...i have no idea what i'm talking about now... A whole load of crap... Excuse the silliness and pls don't be offended if its found to be morbid tho i doubt it. Obviously, i'm in want of something better to do... What a waste of my time...n urs too.

Love,
