Life and death

A crane toppled over and killed 3 men at a construction site in NUS today. How does a person tell their families over a long-distance phone call that their husband/son has died? It must be one of the hardest thing to do in life.

Accidents like this make me ponder about this concept called death. It struck me, to my own surprise, that I am not afraid to die. Life and death, its a cycle that all of us have to go through. At times, its the actual living that is harder to do.

If I should die in a freak acccident before my time is up, please cremate me and throw my ashes into the sea. Then, I shall be free, free at last. I do not wish for any memorial services to be conducted nor a funeral tablet, inscribed with my name, recording my time on Earth. I would have cease to exist completely and that is pointless to me. I wish to go as quietly as I have came into this world.

In the meantime, lets smile more, laugh more, live life as it should be lived.
