I feel so
nua at home on a sunday! The earlier downpour didn't help..just made me feel like burrowing under the blanket.
Hope the rain stays away later! Rain on a wedding day just seems to dampen the atmosphere.
And I actually found another dress which I can wear to the wedding later! It's so funny, cos' I actually went home to get it for my sister, since the last time I tried wearing it, it was abit loose. Seeing as how it kind of fits me now, it just goes to show I haven't been exaggerating about my weight gain! Bleahh.
Haiya I should have just opted to go on my own without a partner..so troublesome now that I've gotta go much earlier to help out. Heck that I won't know almost the entire table I'll be sitting at; it beats trying to figure out a solution to the timing now.
Arghhh.
Saw the newspaper headlines this morning while having breakfast in the kitchen; it's so sad that we lost a fellow singaporean in the mumbai terrorist attacks. Reading about what others had to say about her, and about her life story illustrated in black and white on newspaper..that feeling is so surreal and heartwrenching.
It doesn't matter that I never knew her or the people around her; just reading about the brutal horror she endured was enough to sadden. I can't imagine if something like this were to happen to someone I know.
Which brings home the point really..how life can be so unpredictable at times. Of all the possible things to happen to one in life, things like dying in a terrorist attack hardly ranks high on the list. Yet, it still happens, and we in our little sheltered home of a red dot here only feel the truth hit hard when it happens to one of us.
There are things you can prevent, take precautions against, but for some things in life, there just isn't an all-coverage solution. When I think of people like my mum, who are natural worry-warts and imagine the worst, I really wonder what's the point in doing so.
The way I look at it, just live life the way you want, with happiness and no regrets. Anything can happen anytime, and it's just not possible to take precautions against every single event. As long as you know what you're doing, don't procrastinate the important things in life, especially with regards to people and relationships around you, then I think that's pretty sufficient..
Some people may beg to differ, but let me reiterate that this is purely my own personal viewpoint. Disagree with me as much as you want; you're entitled to. As the stark reality of the consequences of the attack hits home, all the more I believe that my life's mantra has been pretty much on the right track all along.
Life is truly short and unpredicatble; live it your way with no regrets.At any rate..I really hope her family and friends will be able to come to terms with their grief soon, and turn it into strength, for the days ahead will be long and arduous. Especially so when it happened so suddenly, without warning and in such a sad manner.
What a topic to start the day with; ohwells. I'm still feeling very lethargic even though the rain has stopped.
Can't wait for next weekend! The long weekend with promises of clubbing and ktv! *prays hard that we'll get our booking!*
