The tremors of Life
According to Dictionary.com , the definition of tremor means any tremulous or vibratory movement; vibration, as of an earthquake.... however, it also means the involuntary shaking of the body or limbs, as from disease, fear, weakness, or excitement; a fit of trembling. why the sudden interest of posting something about tremor? Easily you could have guessed... it's due the the earthquake at Sumatra, Indonesia. Short tremors we may have felt, twice, but the impact that it has made were tremendous to the people over there.
Today, as usual in office, i was working.... my colic said she didnt wanna walk over to the hawker centre nearby coz its very hot... so we decided on eatin in e canteen nearby... suddenly, she asked me n the other temp if we felt that the ground was shaking, which we both said nah... then as we stood still, i could feel the shake man~!!!! and she said to us.... QUICK...~ TAKE YOUR BAGS~~~!! which both me n the temp said... " HAR? FOR WAT?" then she said "RUN LAR...~" then the both of us... "ORH~" and took our bags went out to the corridor, saw the neighbours already outside who ran down the stairs upon seeing us come out with our bags... the reason? Coz they knew they werent the only ones who feel the tremors... well, jokingly, we walked over ot the hawker centre and ate... i even joked to my colic on how terrified she looks and imitated her actions which she laughed in response... neway i was tryin to settle her down lar... coz she kept appearin like shes tryin to feel for any more vibration...
after lunch we proceeded back to office, and i was left alone with my colic as the others went out for appointment.... then ard 2 plus.... i was standin and doin some stuff when it came again.... i kinda said... "又来?!?!?!" and dis time it felt worse than e 1st time so i turned to my colic n ask.. run again??? and she said... take bag run liao la~!!!! well, thru'out everything... i reacted in a quite aloof and comical way lorz..... and its like nothg to me... coz i tink its in indonesia mar.. since the impact still wasnt dat BIG here so nothg will happen to us de lar...
however, somewhere near e evening, pet smsed me n told me the death toll was rising.... only then did it HIT me badly in my mind dat people were killed in result of the quake....!!!!!!
if felt kinda like a SLAP on my face when i was reminded that lives were actually lost and i kinda felt a'lil bad for my previous aloof respond to the incident....!!!!
sometimes life is juz so vulnerable that you wont know when u're gone... Its juz a breath thats been given to us and yet the result is juz so tremendous if the breath is taken from us? well, its not as bad if its taken right away but however it wouldnt be dat simple if it was taken gradually... alot of thgs happen recently that kinda made me think abit sometimes...
Illness... diseases.... and sufferings resulting from all these.... takin ur breath gradually from you... how would u react? despair??? depression??? losing the capability of doin things? resultin in dependancy on others? wat will happen then? u'd probably have darn low self esteem and wished you were dead.... arghh... i cant imagine how bad it'd be man....
but till then, i give thanks that i may not be all dat perfect, all that healthy... i may have my cranky head and nose.... but i have the capability to do things myself... to be with my family... to have my "pets"... to have my friends.... to have everyone....
it may not be the perfect life we would wanna have... but its the life God have planned which best fits us... even tho things may go against us at times....
another thg......, i managed to fix an appointment!!!! wellwell, prayer answered... i said i'd be happy with even juz ONE... and i got it...~!!!!! THANKSS to my Heavenly Father.... who usually solves my problems when i have no where to run.... =D =D =D reliance is good at certain times.. =P
