I've just finished watching the 1 litre of tears show. It is a very touching show. It is based on a true life story of a girl who was diagnosed with a disease that has no cure at the age of 15. The disease will affect the muscle and nerves, thus the person will gradually loose control of his ability to control his limbs and speech and ultimately will be bedridden. And usually they will die coz such disease will lower the patient's immune system trememdously and they tend to get choked by their own salivia and food.
This show depicts how the girl cope with life after being diagnosed. She is a very kawaii girl who is good in both studies and sports but was not able to to anything after having the disease, even had to give up school and her future is a blank. But she never gave up on herself even to the day she died and lives on very strongly everyday. She still hope to be able to use her limited ability to help others. She helped many others come to terms with their illness and to live on everyday with hope that a cure will be discovered.
The girl though look like the cute, pretty type and need ppl to always look after her is actually very strong. While her parents are feeling very sad for her...she instead is encouraging herself everyday to live on. Of course there are times when she is very dissappointed and lost but ultimately she will cry and then live on strongly. After being tortured by the illness for 10 yrs she died. In a way I think it is good for her as she has been tortured for far too long.
Go watch the show if you're interested. Heard that SCV is airing or will be airing it soon.
Anyway what I see frm this show is that one should always put in the best effort for what they can do now and not care too much about the past and future as one will never know what is going to happen next. I don't mean living day to day per se... but rather grabbing hold of what is infront of you now and be thankful that you can still have the chance to grab hold of it.
~One can live without food and water but not without hope. (to quote one of my lecturer for elective)
After sobbing my way through the last 2 episode... its time for me to continue with my econs proj and math tutorial after dinner. Math is currently on network analysis and network flow. Suddenly I feel like I'm back in poly... doing the queueing model to find the shorted path for the data... but only now it is math form and not programming. Dinner is cup noodles.. why? COZ it rained the moment I step out of my room to buy dinner! -_-" I shall not grumble... coz at least I can still eat. =)
13 days to exams.
