Life

his name is Andy Toh Jiahe. born 24th June 1985, left the world on the 28th day of August, the same year he was born.

yes, he is related to me, he is my 2nd brother.

the boy died just slightly over 2months after he entered the world, something no parents want to see their kid go through. it's exactly like the Chinese saying, when directly translated, "white hair sends the black hair away".

but then i think back, if Andy boy, as my mum calls him, didn't pass away, would i even be here? would my parents have even wanted a third child in the family?

Andy boy wasn't able to enjoy his 2months on earth, i assume. being a 2month old baby, what was there for him to do? i'm already 20 years old, and i asked myself this question, am i enjoying my life?

what's "enjoyment"? what's "living your life to the fullest"? is it to live a healthy lifestyle, eating only healthy food to help us live longer, to be fit for most of our lives? or is it to do whatever you like, eat whatever you like, even if it leads to a shorter lifespan? but then again, can there be a combination of the two?

well, the main point of the whole post is that since we've got the opportunity to live, why not live it to the fullest, live it the way you want, but of course being morally right. Andy boy didn't, but i now do.

thanks Andy boy.
