Caught up with Gene, Wenping and Siang Long today. It has been a really long time since we had a nice chat, been too busy these few weeks. Glad he's doing fine. Watched a pretty sad documentary during my VE lesson today. It was about this boy who was involved in a car accident. He literally melted when the car blew up in flames. Nobody thought he would survive, but against all odds he did survive. However, he had to pay a high price because doctors couldn't repair his face and his hands.
Amazingly, he managed to grow up normally through sheer determination and love from his parents. People would stare at him when he is out in the streets, asking why his face was disfigured. I really can't imagine how he would feel when people do that. He said he doesn't blame his mum who was driving the car on the day of the accident and the driver of the 18 wheeler, who caused the crash. In fact, he does not blame anyone.
I remembered a particular sentence which he said, "It is god that makes us who we are, he can take away my hands and my face. But he can't take away my heart and my will to live". What a touching story, it makes me realise how fragile life is. You never know what might happen tomorrow and in the future. You'll have to face it, regardless of whether its good or bad...

I'm someone who is shy, especially towards girls because all my life I've been studying in a all boys school. I only have a brother and almost all of my cousins are guys too, so I can't help it (: However, I really open up when I know my friends well enough, we'll do things together, have fun together and maybe even study together? haha
