I've learnt very important lessons today.
Lesson 1: "Treasure"
Yes. We have heard this word so many times. "Treasure your time, treasure your friends, treasure your family, treasure..." But what indeed is the meaning of treasure? I admit that I'm just another teenager, who also treated these words of wisdom as a piece of garbage.
Today's lesson was so..enriching. What touched me wasn't the fact that the old man and the old lady managed to be together in the end after 40 years of separation, but maybe more of what lao shi had said. I kind of agree that it's true. I'm even afraid that what she said might even happen to me. It seemed so wrong, so unpredictable but yet it's happening here, in this real world. What can I say? But to thank my Chinese teacher, who has once again impacted me with her stories and set me thinking in an even deeper way.
Lesson 2: "Love"
When I first saw the MV, I have to admit that I thought it would be another cheesy "love" story. But the ending turned out to be quite unpredictable, which caused many of us to be in a dilemma. What that 'Wu Bo Bo" did was so touching. I know this sounds stupid, but this MV of the love triangle between 3 old people actually made some of us cried. But I couldn't cry, no matter how hard I tried to think how touching the story was. Maybe it's because I didn't really believe that such "lasting love" can exist between humans and maybe because Gladys, who's sitting next to me couldn't stop laughing her head off- totally spoils the mood.
Still, I think the "sacrificial love" was really the "love" that touched me. Maybe I wouldn't have such a touching love story in my life, but what I can proudly say is that I have experienced the ultimate sacrificial love that was meant for me; Love of the the Father, Love of Christ.
What more could I ask for? His love surpasses everything in the Universe, even the act of Wu Bo Bo's "sacrificial love". I'm thankful.
I promised Chand that I will specially dedicate this post for her to read. So ya here it is:
Chand, where in the world are you? Come back now to S'pore! Miss you so much! I can't lie to you about life being great because it's really killing me! There's about less than 2 more months to Os and I'm not feeling prepared. I wish I can turn back time and go back to the past, when we're all just happy kids.
ok, I'm off to stone again. yea, I wish.
