heys:DDit's been DECADES since i've been here,i hope you all dun miss me?hahax(:well,keeping myself in line with my 'live in treetops' project,i can't come and blog everyday, can i?(mayb i can, but i don't want to:DD)here's an interesting piece of article i wrote for my journal entry today(:it's titled: PLAN YOUR OWN FUNERAL :DDDDDThere will be mourning; I have not seen a funeral where there is no mourning. Of course, the bright people will be wearing dull colours; there is an unstated law somewhere that prohibits the wearing of happy clothing in funerals, but i'm going against that barristerial nature of humans and instruct in my will a sign that says "i'm just off in a better heaven, don't cry(: smile and enjoy the ice cream(:" that should be taped beside my framed picture.Yes, there will be ice cream. Magnum Almond ice cream, to be exact. Dark mocha frappucino and low-fat mango cheescake will be served too. Starbucks will certainly earn a lot from my funeral.Of all the funerals I have ever been to, none of them supplied joyful music. That wouldn't do for me. In my funeral, my favourite music will be played simultaneously. Beethoven, Bach, The Click Five... Music that I had had a preferance to will be in the speakers beside the casket.Even though i don't want any one more person in the world to feel a sense of loss, i would like the people i know to grace my ceremony so that if i was watching from the sidelines of another universe, i would get to see all the people i cared for in the past come together, just to be able to reminisce about the memories in this world which i may or may not forget in the end. If whoever that had put my funeral together wants to invite his/her third cousins or fourth aunts, it is permitted. The more the merrier, isn' it?My coffin will neither be gold or silver, because i insist the coffin to be made of wood. No use wasting precious resources over me... For all i know, my dead body might be allergic to gold or silver. The wooden coffin should look like a victorian antique, with fancy carvings and glossy polish. Old english craftsmanship have always amused me when i was alive; it does not make sense if it doesn't amuse me when i'm dead. My main concern is whether the colour of the casket matches my clothes.Clothes. This is one tough nut to crack. Appearances are very important, especially so in a funeral. Should i be dressed in a pair of majorelle blue faded jeans with a white tee, or a petite skirt with a beige blouse will do? Or should i wear my copper-brown kangeroo suit? Do i even own one? If i live to be an accomplished musician, i think i'll substitute the long and dreary 'we all will bury you in our hearts and you will be etched in our munds forever' speech with a personal composition. Music is easier to bear than a monotonous hum of long and difficult words. And if that day was to come, i think i'll borrow and smart tuxedo performance suit to be buried in when i die.Well, at least for now, i hope someone reads this, if not my marvelous plans for my own personal funeral will go "thunk" down the drain.HAHAX:DDDDDi hope ms heng laughs when she reads this journal entry:DDDDD-bootslandiist who sees death as inevitable but is too young to mourn over her death now(:
