do u mind losing?

am watching this tv documentary on discovery world. tgh tgk paddington train crash. tak sure pulak tahun bila. but was listening to the passengers reliving the moment both trains crashed head on.

and that lady said, 'i was just closing my eyes tightly, i wouldn't want to lose my eye sight" or something like that.

and at that moment, it occured to me, if, i was given that choice, if i was in such accident myself, from all this senses i have, what would be my sense/organ that i would like to save?

at first, i thought, this woman is smart, wanting to save her eyes. and she didnt mind of losing anything else, so that she could still see the world she lives in. but then, later it occured to me, would it be enough just to have the ability to see? dont u need your hands more? wouldnt u need your legs more? or your ears? or your brains?

what would be best? to be blind but u could at least walk and shake hands, or being able to see the world and your kids growing, but have no hands to cuddle them or legs to walk with them?

by now, i guess u should have realized, just like i did, that u would not want to lose anything u have. this is a choice that u can never make.

i just have to be grateful that i am okay, blessed with everything, and moga dijauhkan bencana seperti ini.

i have no answer for this.

even if we were given an option .. we still have no final say .. just be grateful with what we have now .. semoga dijauhkan daripada sebarang bencana (tengah mood jins shamsudin "esok masih ada")

kazuo-ri: ada kaitan ke cerita esok masih ada ni? heh i tak ingat pon inti pati cite tu.

i guess it's not an option. period.

bersetuju dalam hal ini. apa yg Allah jadikan untuk kita semuanya yang terbaik, kalau terkurang satu maka kita yg dah biasa hidup dgn semua anggota yg ada ni.. akan rasa helpless.. good reflection adek :)

if my memory serves me right, you're the one who helped me get my Motorcycle Diaries DVD :)

btw, you should start with Motorcycle Diaries, then Reminiscences of Cuban Revolutionary War and finish with The Bolivian Diary. Another prefered reading material is Che's Guerrilla War by Regis Debray.

Baru boleh meresap betapa romantisnya revolusi itu.

medcham : u cant help it but to reflect it upon your life kan. rasa bersyukur sgt that we still have it all. biar la masa accident dulu kepala i berdarah ape sume, at least i still have my head on my shoulder and sume anggota badan elok. am so grateful.

che's brother : wow! i cant believe it's u. i thought u wouldnt wana be friends anymore. heheh.

anyways, mmg tak sabo nak start with that motorcycle diaries. once that is done, i'll go hunt all 3 others in Waterstone's la. tq for the suggestions.

tak sangka revolusi bleh jadi sebegitu romantik. ;)

anyways, how are u la? u still work the same place? drive the same car? ok tell tell. thru email pon ok :)
