Thinking about the Family (sounds like the mafia)
In the ol' gang ah boy, jun, boon, grace doggy, liling and me are the ones who still communicate often. Now, boy is in Perth, jun and boon in Melbourne. Next year, liling will be in Adelaide (is this how you spell it?). Wonder where doggy will be. Most likely staying in Singapore. Where will I be? England or America if I'm smart. Serving hamburgers at one of orchard road's many McDonald's outlets if I'm dumb. So we will be more scattered than we are already. Will any of us care? Maybe we can still meet every school holiday and eat like pigs. Maybe our school holidays won't coincide. Oh no, I don't doubt that we will remain friends and keep in close contact, we've been doing this for 2 years now. It's just that we may never eat together like pigs as a Family again. Still, it'll be good to have international contacts.

The morbid little voice in my head asks, "Will any of us die young? Who will be a failure? Which one of us will go crazy and get to stay forever in the funny farm?" These things and many more unpleasant ones could happen. I know, we are all intelligent and our futures seem bright and it looks as if we're going to accomplish great things in the world. But this doesn't stop us from being mortal. Death, disease and dementia. Ill fortune and insanity. All these could happen to us simply because we are human and mortal. Nope, sorry, nothing we can do about it.

Let's wait and see, 10-20 years down the ineffable road following some ineffable purpose, who becomes what.
I hate growing up. I hate growing old and I think I'm really going to hate dying.
When I die, I want to know why.

In the ineffable plan of the Almighty, we are nothing but all pawns. Anyday, you could die and not know why. It's good to believe in God. At least there's some hope that your soul can go look for Him after you die to make Him tell you what it was all for. Poor atheists. Can you imagine how terrible it is to live your life knowing that you will die and believing that you will never know the reason for all the crap that you had to go through?

I hope the atheists aren't the ones who are right. Otherwise, we are all screwed.
