Life Expectancy: 65 Years
Claud An avid collector of your hopes and worries, a romantic at heart. She thanks her fairies, for blessing her with people who know compassion down to an art. For accepting her for who she is, who never fails to turn up, in times of need as well as happiness, or just there for a loving hug.

sobbering thought
today i learnt something which i hope never will happen to anyone. It's a sobbering thought...how fragile human life is. When we are healthy, we feel indestructible....but when the reaper comes for you, you realise how much of life is not within your hands.
Of course, being a secularist, i'm not immediately implying that it is necessarily in God's hands. I just feel that in this world, random things happen to random people.
In any case, people still have the luxury of time...and sometimes there's a feeling that our family members will be here forever....that's why it's so sad when they fall ill. Perhaps that was my mum's ultimate lesson, don't take things for granted when you still have time.
Retrospectively, I realised I never did have the luxury of time to tell her what I want to say and she will not be able to comprehend. Yet, I am not angry at life....because it is just what it is. We are a part of the what constitutes in our environment and are not more important than the ants on this earth. In short, shit happens and we have no control over it.
I used to be proud and think that destiny is created by one's own hands...however, you realise how wrong you are, when someone you care deeply about falls severely ill...
