i'm starting to be a fan of chua mui hong, columnist for sunday times (lifestyle) every fortnightly or so.
actually i'm also quite a fan of sumiko tan and this ex air-stewardess now columinist for Streats and adam hashidy and Yvonne kwok and edwin something from Newpaper in the past.
but that's cos they're thrashy and amusing and write abt things like why girls shld keep long hair. (cos guys like it. it's a symbol for the feminine stereotype. woohoo!)
chua mui hong is different though. she's like a spiritual counsellor. i think she recovered from breast cancer, and ever since have become a spiritual, "stop and smell the roses" kind of person.
(she's also the one who wrote that she won't send her girls to RGS, even though she came from RGS herself. i forgot what she wrote abt, but it wasn't as maddening as i thought it would be)
anyway, the whole point of this post is, i just read her article today and i liked what she wrote.
write your eulogy, and then work backwards.
writing our eulogy will make us focus on what we want to be remembered for, and then we can live our lives accordingly.
such wise words.
write eulogy...write farewell note (so that others know what i rem them for)...so many things to write.......so morbid.
there was once i wondered (i was probably quite bored with something) if my fav juggling bean bags and clubs shld get buried/cremated with me. just for the heck of it...you know, as a symbolic gesture...since i spend so much time with them. then again that'd be quite a waste of resources. maybe another juggler can put them to better use. that'd be cool too.
it doesn't really matter. not gonna write ambiguous death wishes for pple to fight over "what i would have wanted". that's pretty weird. i mean if i'm dead, does it really matter what i would have wanted? Just chill and peace out everybody. and live by your pre-written eulogy.
