mobility

these few days dun have the car, i feel so handicapped. like can't go to anywhere i like freely, then very stingy, dun want to take a cab. MRT is fine, it's those places that i want to go that has no MRT, i dunnoe wat bus to take. so feel very cooped up inside, very depressed.

anyway, that brings me to my next point. that's y yesterday, took an MRT to TM. caught 'Ladder 49' alone. the movie is nice, if u are thinking of action pack, then maybe shouldn't watch the show. it's quite sad, can cry one. honestly, i cried. trying very hard to hold back the tears, but it juz came down. i guess becos i have two children, one boy and one gal, (exactlylike the one in the show) so when the husband died in course of work, i think i feel for the wife. that's y i cried. also firefighting is a dangerous job, if u die while fighting fire, it's a horrible death. u are literally burnt alive. as for the guy in the show, i think it's sad also becos, it's like the director brought our hopes up (he was trapped in the building and his fellow colleagues are trying to rescue him out, he still had radio contact) then when he got to a 'supposedly' safe place (control room) he looked out and saw a sea of fire and he knew that it's impossible for his colleagues to come and rescue him, so he told the chief to call off the rescue and get his colleagues out. after speaking and asking the chief to take care of his family, he just gave up fighting for his life and fell into a coma. that was when the tears started rolling down. it's painful to wait for death. the chief (john travolta) had to fight back the tears and gave a command to evacuate the building. it's painful for him too. oh mine, and then the funeral. so dignified.

another point, yesterday saw the news, it was Huang Na's funeral. it's exactly the same, when the coffin was pushed inside to burn, they all cried out for her. it's like, after burning, no more a person, a body, just bones.

sigh, so sad... so think about my issue of not having a car to drive ard, i guess i should be thankful that i'm still able to move around. wait till i lie in my coffin, six feet underground, give me the fastest car on earth also no use.

Yeah, so true, live is so much worth living for! Good time for us to count our blessings instead of asking for more. You know, for me, to see someone being pushed in to burn, it is one of the saddest moment in life. I only saw it once. And I really miss that person so badly, I'll never never get a chance to see him again. That incident always remind me to appreciate the people around me when I still can, before they are gone. aiyah... me getting emotional again.
