YOLO....?

i think this phrase has been used so much it actually sounds really cliché and annoying already. but it's true. you only live once. the recent events that happened really makes me think a lot of our lives.

we spend our youth studying, our youth which is when we have the energy to enjoy life and celebrate but here we are stuck in school mugging away. maybe it's not the case in other countries, but i noticed that Singapore really focuses a lot on academics, even if you're not in any year where your grades will affect you greatly. you know? ohkay nevermind. maybe ignore that. idk how to explain o.o but mon pointed this out to me today when we were going to tjc.

then after that remember last year i talked about how my senior who lived in the block opposite mine was murdered? it was a really sad case because she spent so much time studying for her o'levels only to end up not being able to complete it.

recently, there has been another case, my bro's ex-classmate. it was a hit-and-run accident 3 days ago and i think it's such a sad incident. he was in critical condition and passed away today i think. my bro is going for the wake tmr. the police are appealing for witnesses, and i'll attach the the stomp article here: click. please please please, anyone who has seen the accident please please please tell the police! i really feel that it's so sad. he spent so much time studying for a'levels only to not be able to know his own results.

i know i always joke about saying that i could die anytime and i should just yolo my way through life and not study and everything. but don't you think it's kindda true? God forbid, if i was in the same situation as the male mentioned above, don't you think it's so wasted? i could've spent my time singing, dancing, doing the things that i enjoy instead of forcing myself to study because i have o's this year. it's really sad. it's like a wasted life....

i can't help but think like that.

i know that God has planned everything for us, and that everything happens for a reason. i also believe in fate and stuff. so the fact that such things happened, there must've been a justification behind it. i know sometimes it's the person suay and stuff, but... there must be a reason. i like to try to think positively, and i want to think that when people leave Earth, it's because God wants them by His side and stuff (:

i pray for the families that have to suffer the pain and sadness of their loved one leaving them prematurely, before he or she could even go out and live a life he or she has always dreamed of. God bless, and he or she is in a better place now!

please guys, please, if you see anything about the incident please report it.

i joke, but i'm always thinking of these things when i joke. i just don't say it out, that's all. either that or i say it in a joking manner.

sorry to end off the month in a solemn and serious post, but... i just thought about this a lot, especially after the two cases that i've known of...
