soooooo, how ya been internet? miss me? :DDDD yes yes, ive been gone an awfully long time. well actually ive just been too lazy to post anything. so anyway, ive had this idea for a while now, and with ally pressuring me to update, ive decided to go ahead with my idea, which is kinda a compromise. which is if i have anything to say, then i will just blog as usual, but if not, then i'll just post the links to articles and youtube vids ive read/watched today, okay? mind you if i dont think its worth your time or just dont wanna share it (HAHAHA) of course i wont do it la.
http://www.youtube.com/user/CTFxC#p/u/0/j95A6oBV5PM CTFxC has become like what morning coffee is to some people, must have everyday. lol. watch it, and i guarantee it was make you smile at least once. kinda like watching Friends, after a while you know their habits, tendencies, friends, etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeUnFWpNLsk&feature=PlayList&p=0C2A285608BB35C1&playnext_from=PL&index=0&playnext=1 there are 2 other continuations of this vid, if you wanna see just click the autoplay button for the next one. the creator (i assume) is TranquilMammoth, also known as Hunter Burgan, bassist for the rock band AFI. kinda stupid, but provides momentary entertainment LOL.
oh, by the way, i consider the time from when i wake up to when i go to sleep the same day, so the posts will all be posted like after midnight, just so you know. lol.
anyway, went to visit lao 2 ko, dunno who that is but only found out we were gonna visit her when we were already there lol. it was in a corner lot teres house, an indonesian maid opened the door, and we went inside, i assumed it was the house of some distant relative. went inside and saw some single beds,, and old people sitting in chairs, some watching tv @@. and when say old, i mean 80 years old ++, snow white hair, wasted bodies, horrific sight to behold. it looked like corpses watching tv, seriously. there was a woman sitting near lao 2 ko, and she was the youngest one, still with black hair, but she had down's syndrome or something, with a deformed face and eyes looking into different directions like a chameleon. it was so morbid and humbling and scary! these old people left here to be cared by 2 indons. lao 2 ko said they take great care of them though :) she also said there were sick people upstairs, but we didnt go up to see them of course. so dad and mom and granma chatted with her, and we brought her bird's nest soup in a flask to drink. and i just sat at the foot of the stairs listening to them. thankfully she's just here tomporarily, gonna go stay with one of her sons soon. she says one of the old people's son only visits to get money from her. and after we left, dad said there was an old guy missing since the last time he visited, and assumed he died @@. it was SUCH a humbling experience because all these old people are at the end of their lives, barely able to stand, with minds already half sunken into the abyss, completely dependent on the maids to do everything like feeding, bathing etc for them. nothing to do, just waiting for death to come knocking on their door. and when he does, the maids will probably open the door just as cheerfully as they did for us. i kid i kid. or they could be passing their last days peacefully, without being bothered anymore by the petty worries of their youth, like us now in ours, depending on how you look at it. and it just made me feel 2 things, one, if this is the peaceful death in old age after a full life everybody dreams about, i dont think i want it. cause better quit while your on top, as they say. better to go out at your best, than to see yourself wither away and melt into a shameful puddle of your former self, utterly helpless and incapable of anything. and it just made me feel like giving up, like not doing anything anymore, whats the point i thought, if this is supposedly the best ending we could hope for? two, i thought im in my youth (not exactly prime yet but getting there) and im already doing what old people do, NOTHING?! get your ass off the couch and do something, i told myself. though this feeling only came about after we left and i wasnt surrounded with the auro of doom and hopelessness. :S then we had lunch, went sungei wang, passed through lot10 en route to pavillion, saw nice unaffordable stuff blahblahblah. the end.
oh and comment in the chatbox just so i know whose been here :)
