The Super Sunday Episode
Haven't blogged for ages! reason? too much to keep up with! many things have happened in the course of the past few months since i last blogged. i shan't look back at history for any regrets, but to move forward in anticipation for new things in life! it seemed like i have started another chapter of my life this month, a new turning point. went for a long vacation at Bali, enjoyed the nicest spa and good food i could have! went to the most unforgetable scenic places and also added new memories to my life.

I have been a couch potato for awhile. and i enjoyed being one! hee,yes, i'm serious! watched the program--super sunday just recently and man, for the first time, i felt so deeply affected. watched how super sunday co-host Ah-ya went all out to help Xu Ru-yun search for her primary school classmate in whom she has not met for years.

The story started when Xu (for short) was nominated the class monitress in her primary 5 class. she took on the role of a disciplinarian when her teachers weren't not around in class. she took down names of those mischievious individuals who played truant in class or made fun of her. as a result she wasn't so well-liked among her friends. and there was this boy in class who's always making fun of her. as usual, one day he started giving her nick-names and called her 'pig-face! Angry, Xu instantaneously gave him one tight slap on his face. she couldn't remember why she slapped him, but she felt really appologetic after that. she really wanted to say sorry to him but never had the opportunity cos he was transferred to another school later on. this incident has remained with her all her life and she really wanted to meet this boy she slapped years ago once again to say 'sorry'. and yes, Ah-ya went out on her mission to search for this guy. well eventually this guy appeared and Xu Ru-yun was thrilled!~ the twist of the story came: this guy who appeared on tv was actually his younger brother. he told Xu Ru-yun that his elder brother died in an accident 9 years ago. at that instant, Xu Ru-yun burst out in tears. man! that this was something so unexpected!!! she has always bore that hope that one day she could meet him at a program like this and tell him how apologetic she was. however, everything came too late.

that struck me so much at that instant. when i saw the tears in Xu's eyes, it reminded me so much of the tears i had when i last saw benny in his coffin. he promised to meet me for lunch, but we met at his funeral on the same day for the last time. yes--it's been a year now. he was my dearest friend who held my hand through life's darkest periods last year. can't forget those times we had together. all are memories now. however, im really thankful that i have told him how much i treasured him as a friend and how important a friend he's been to me. im grateful that i told him how much i'd miss him before he left this world. guess im thankful that i have had the opportunity to know his friendship for a short time. even though shortlived, but forever memorable. so when i saw Xu Ru-yun's tears, my tears fell with hers.

This super sunday episode once again reminded me of how shortlived and fragile life is. don't procastinate when you really wana say something to someone. be generous with your thanksgiving and appreciation everyday, for you never know what holds tomorrow. yes, everyone's busy. take a few seconds each day to appreciate someone, for you never know how much 'sunshine' you could add into someone's life for the last time.
