Looking back when shit nearly happens
Years years back or to be exact when I am in Form 2 or 14 years old teenager, yes I was once 14 before . The most significant event that happened to me during that year is while I am attending Space Camp held in Penang Christian Convention Centre. Astronomy Club is one of the top society club in my school, we had more than 100 members at a single time and mind you those members are cool and fun people , definately not those nerdy or geeky individual as you seen in cartoons.
Anyway lets talk about this Space Camp, basically Space Camp is sort of a camp for all Astronomy Club members to learn more about astronomy and at the same time to have some fun. Well basically the camp goes smoothly except for at one time, when we were having a break in between activities, we take this opportunity to spend some time by the beach. Technically we are not suppose to go near the beach but as most of the exco members were there so I was thinking what the heck right and so I joined them to have some fun by the beach.
What a terrible decision that was, the wave was quite strong at that time. So we sort of form a circle then put our hands on each other shoulder while waiting for the wave to strike us and see who cannot stand it anymore or fell down. As I am not a good swimmer so I chosen the spot the furthest from the sea. When shitgoing to happen it will happen no matter what. A very HUGE wave hit us and somehow I dont know how but somehow I was dragged along with the wave, pass in between a few person legs and straight into the wide sea. I manage some hands try to grab me but the wave is simply too strong.
In a blink of an eye I was so far far away from the shore, to be honest I cant even see the shore from where I am. I didnt panic at that time as I know there are plenty of people know where I am so shouting will just make things worst. When I was in the wide sea, alot of things came into my mind. I mean my life could end at that very moment while I m just 14 years old. You know is true when they said that when you are near to your death your life came flashing to you, maybe at that time my situation wasnt that bad so those flashes wasnt that clear and wasnt that long because soon after that I was rescued by an exco member,Wooi Chong to be exact.
Anyway what happened that time dont really ring any bell in my life, I mean what I know is that my life might just end at that moment thats about it as I dont really care if it ends at that moment. I am someone that doesnt treasure life that much you see and at that time I thought I got nothing to lose. Only today I realise that how wrong I was at that time, yea I mean I could just die , kapoom and be gone on that day but I definately have plenty to lose if I am really gone at that time. At times we take things for granted and we might not realise what we been missing.
You see if I mean IF I am gone at that time I just realise that how much I will lost for example :-
- I wouldnt meet so many wonderful teachers, tutors and one hell of a cool Principal
- I wouldnt have the chance to meet up with so many different people from so many different type of background
- I wouldnt know so many new friends
- I wouldnt be able to learn and know so many new things
- I wouldnt know the feeling of being in love and heart broken after that
- I wouldnt know whats pornograhy
- I wouldnt watches so many nice movies
- I wouldnt taste so many good food
- I wouldnt be in UK
- I wouldnt know that my parents love me so much
- I wouldnt be blogging
- I wouldnt ____________________________
There are so many things I wouldnt know or do if that day is the last day of my life, you see at times we felt so down that how we wish our life end at that very moment but what we don’t realise is that what we might miss in the future just because of 1 very bad day . Does it worth it to throw away so many meaningful events in the future just because of 1 blardy bad day ? Lets me do the maths for you, it is NOT worth it. I am here to preach any of you but before you do anything stupid think what life might bring you in the near future and those people who never have a chance to see another sunrise.Dont throw your life away just because of one very bad day or one very bad event. Live well be well and eat well.
Oh yea those exco members do get into alot of trouble because of me and I do personally apologize to all of them. I AM SORRY but I am glad that incident happened even is an unfortunate event.
