our body, our shell

just experiencing a sudden surge of energy to blog again, after about a month of silence. ironic huh..me silent?? haha.. this past month has been a very soul enriching one. going through emotions and strengths i never knew i had or required to get through situations. and this made me equate our body to a shell.. i know this sounds a tad religious...but seriously..aren't we what we are because of our 'insides' and not because of our 'outsides'? our body is like an encasement of all the good things in us. it's temporary and we are just in it for the sake of fulfilling our desires and goals. sometimes our body may last till it's old and wrinkled and sometimes it can mulfunction even at a young stage. however it will eventually breakdown and then is when we die. we use our body to hide from the world; for pleasure; for making a stand in life. this makes our aim living in this world a tad more meaningful..doesn't it? we have been endowed with this gift of a wonderful, magnificent 'shell' hence we should use it to the fullest but at the same time maintaining its working condition because without it we will only become shadows of beings, unfulfilled beings. i guess this makes me more determined to experience life as it is not hold back.

pondering over..now to the good happy news! holidays are finally here! eventhough exma results will totally be a disaster...going back home makes it all better. can't wait to feel the warmth, the beach, family, friends, familiar sights and sounds again! this hols is going to be the best! going to pulau redang and sarawak. SO looking forward to it! sunday is 'd' day. i'm leaving on a boeing 747..don't know when i'll be back someday...haha

ok enough rambling..till my next update...strength and optimism, a must in life.
