How does it end?
If ever I should die, and I know I will one day, I would like the following to be read at my memorial service:
I didn’t think it would end this way…
End? No, the journey doesn’t end here.
There’s another path, one that we all must take.
The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back
and it will change to silver grass
and then you see it.See what?
White shores and beyond them,
a far green country under a swift sunrise.- from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

If it evers come to that inevitable end, i would want my family and friends to celebrate my life, no matter how short or how uneventful, that would be my last wish to ppl.
I feel my life should never end on such a mournful note.
But in the end, its how people remember us!
Happy CNY Jikon! Miss having you around for a nice chat! Will make more time for it now!

hey… that’s nice!
wahh! talking about death on the 1st day of CNY?? isn’t this consider taboo? aiya just superstition of course. something silly. no, i don’t believe it is taboo to talk about death or to curse.
actually there are lots of CNY custom/tradition that i consider silly.
i can’t understand why some people say they are afraid of death. we can’t escape death so why afraid? i’m not afraid of death but i’m afraid of suffering. that’s why i hope i will have a peaceful death, not a death that comes with suffering.
