I don't know if any one of you watch London Paralympics. But i'm quite sure not as much people who watched London Olympics watch the Paralympics - basically a Olympic Games for the disabled. I'm the type who is very ON to this kind of shows except for soccer/world cup :p
I started to feel that i took things for granted everytime when i watch Paralympics on the tv. (which is why im blogging so in future when i read my blog, i will remember not to take things for granted.) They don't have a complete body or maybe they have, but it's not functioning properly. They can do sports that we can do. Some even does it better than many of us.
But are we doing? haha ohkay maybe not 'we' but me. I think i really really take simple things i have for granted. Like, having a complete body, average features, able to speak, see and hear. And yet, here i am complaining how fat i am, how short i am, how not sharp my nose is. Seriously. I think i need to do some self reflection.
Humans often crave the things they don't have, don't need. But they simply want it becuz they want it, show off, or whatever shit la. Like me wanting a iphone so badly when i already have a phone good enough to call and text.
They complain how bad is their life when it's just a freaking bad day. They forgot the little things that they have but not everybody are lucky enough to have.
When given opportunity to learn, they give up becuz its too challenging, or for some, it's becuz they're lazy.
(not judging people, just MY point of view.)
My parents gave me a lot of opportunities to take up new things so that i can learn more things and make new friends. But i gave them up. I think you'll be kind of shock if you see the amount of things i've learnt. (not showing off, it's more of a shame.)
-Abacus. 6-9.
-Chinese Orchestra. 10. Gave up after 2 months.
-Piano 9. Gave up after 6months.
-Ballet when i was 7-12.
-Chinese Dance when i was 8-12.
-Swimming when i was 6-13.
-TaeKwonDo when i was 11-14.
I also learnt Jazz, Lyrical Dance, Acting, Singing. I almost took up Gymnastic.
Guess what was the reason why i gave up these? All becuz of dancing. Becuz i want to commit myself more into dancing. I love dancing. It's like my life. It make me relax. And after ALL the sacrifices i made for dancing, i gave up dancing.
It's like, what exactly do i want? My answer will still be, dancing. Then why the hell i gave it up? Painful experience. I've always wanted to pursue in the performing arts. I'm not giving it up yet, it's just that i won't be thinking about it now.
