My will

I just checked my mailbox and it was flooded by the F5+1 gangsa gangs. The conversation was getting lamer each minute. Initially, it was about our Christmas celebration (that’s the subject head for all the mails) but then it somehow evolves to being me falling in love with a2o. I didn’t wanted to clarify with that bunch of monkey friends (that’s wat junny is calling us now, and he will be getting a galore of bananas from us for his birthday) bcos by jumping to my own defense, it only make the matter worst. I know them far too well….

The conversation with sl jus now was all about “go and die”. He thought I might commit suicide because my hair is so ugly right now. And he even asked me to put his name as the benefactor after my death.
Besides “go and die”, I could only say “go and die”…. Such an ignoble friend, don’t you agree??

Perhaps I should really start writing my will. Looking at my bank account, there’s really nothing much there. But, I have plenty of books and toys. So if I ever die, I will distribute them equally. Don’t belittle my books and toys okay, they cost me a fortune. I love them more than I love myself.

I totally agree and stand strongly at my point that money is something that we are not born with, and we cannot possible take with us after our death. Recently, I watched a documentary about mummies in Egypt. They described how ancient people mummified the bodies and they actually unwrapped a few mummies for certain research purposes. In their tombs, there were supposedly plenty of jewelries, money, personal items and food. But, those tombs were soon robbed and what was left in their humongous tomb was just the body.

There were of course other examples, such as the tomb of the king from China. I don’t know much about China’s history, but if I am not wrong, I think it was the Qin Shi Huang (do tell me if I am wrong). In his tomb, there were not just his valuables. He also brought with him his horses, soldiers and concubines. That was really a mass human sacrifice. I am not despising their actions and I am in no position to do so. But, in my opinion, bringing away the things we use from our lifetime and hoping to born with riches in their next life sounded quite ridiculous. Perhaps that’s the opinion from modern times. During ancient time, they believe much in future life or the other world.

It is best to remember memories of a person, rather then what the dead can give and left for you. A will is something like a last statement of the deceased, stating exactly who receive what. But, things don’t usually go as planned rite?

Frankly speaking, to bring or not to bring the valuable into our grave is really up to us. If we bring them away, it is sort of selfish but if we don’t, our children or loved ones might turn nasty against each other and fight for the fortune, even if there is a will. I am really neutral about the idea of writing a will right now since I am penniless.

I am NOT going to commit suicide, though my fringe is short and ugly. But I am sure to spend some time writing a will, distributing my books and toys. Anyway, my fringe will grow back right?
