i'm taking a break from reading my latest book "The Quantum Zoo -- the tourist guide to the neverending universe" (an interesting read!).. i suddenly thought of the fact that all the ppl in this world must be doing a billion and one things at this moment in time.. some crying over their loss of kin, some celebrating their birthdays/newborn/whatever, some writhing in hunger and pain, some enjoying a moment of quiet bliss.. While me, pondering what my future holds for me, and what i might have done if i was born into this world again...
regarding the 1st question: it's not for me to know right now (even though i may scratch my head til it bleeds...arghh, or think until i kill much of my brain cells), but will be revealed to me in time to come.. so why fret over it??!
regarding the 2nd question: i thought i might do some things a little differently if i was born as Cynthia again.. hmm.. call it my regrets, whatever.... i just wanna savage some things if i can. Heard of "The five ppl you meet in heaven"? If i could have my way, i could already be one of the five to other ppl.. and the lesson i would teach them? -- cherish the one you love.. not just for a day or two, but for eternity...
On the other hand, if i wasn't reborn as the present me, i would have liked to be born richer and smarter (& prettier), and enrol myself in an astrophysics course in the U.S., or be a bold freelance photographer who travels around the globe (esp Japan!) writing travel articles for "Un-lonely Planet", or just a great baker cum housewife selling cheesecakes in a sidewalk cafe in Ireland? Haahaa.. all these are just virtually impossible to accomplish right now already... me and my whimsical and imaginative mind run wild............. lalalala.
