Went to alpha on Thurs night. They asked the same question that most programmes will ask. && The question is, "If your house is on fire and you can only take one thing. But all living things are already out, what will it be?" I use to say, "Laptop." Or "Cash." Or "Mobile Phone." But that night, it somehow struck me that I won't actually take those items. Cause they don't seem to mean much anymore. So when it came for me to speak, I said.. "A bottle. Of water." They all looked at me till their eyes bulged. I was the youngest of the group. The next age after me will probably be.. 27? && Most of them were PHDs. Like a dung pro right! :D Anyways, one person laughed and said," You can borrow that from your neighbour!" But after that, they looked at me and kept quiet. And someone asked,"Why?" && Here is my story. "The bottle of water gives me hope. It symbolises the strength to carry on. Independent. && Not dependent on my neighbours. All we have left is hope. && That bottle of water, is my symbol to remind me to carry on." I didn't plan for this speech, its like my soul talking. I realise, whatever I said that night not only struck and thought the others something, but it thought me something valuable too. (: Well, it alright and natural to say "Laptop" or "phone" just say your honest answers. (:
So.. What about you? :D
Know your heart, speak of your love.
