The City That Never Sleeps




posted : October 29, 2009
Amidst the craziness of school and week 11, especially so for the past 2 days and nights churning out the HR report, today catching up with my sister was indeed a good breather.

My Sister's Keeper. A very good watch I really wouldn't mind a re-watch, just to allow myself to feel for all the characters and the way they display their emotions, anger, pain, hurt, love all so well. The words and actions of Anna Fitzgerald makes us wonder that maybe all she needed was just abit more attention. Similar to the situation of Jesse. But putting ourselves in the shoes of Kate, who are we to blame that life had to play out like that. Or better still in the shoes of their mum who had to make a decision for a child to save the other. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life at the expense of infringing upon the rights of another? Am I also always expected to protect my loved ones even at the expense of my own happiness and well being even? Is it a given? And as much as death can never be comprehended or understood, in some situations death plays out to be just the right option and things still go okay beyond that. Unfortunate events have to occur in life to understand the meaning of gratitude and appreciation. But for now, if you are listening, just keep all my close ones, close and alive.

I guess ours is some sort of a dsyfunctional family. Yet we all still love each other.

It just reminded me again we all need each other to survive life. No matter how stuck we are with the people we love, or however hard they make us cry and bleed sometimes we would reach a wall in life otherwise. So given a choice right now between us, I'd have it just this way all over again.
