after a person died, that person can only be remembered for 15 years.

at least that's the current singapore rules now.

a person who 'buys' a piece of grave-yard land can only have it for 15 years. after that, the coffin must be removed, emptied for a couple of years, and the space will be resold again for the next user (valid for another 15 years).

i was naive to think that a dead person will be remembered forever, at least by the loved ones. but i guess its not really the case. eventually, some time later, people will forget people.

i wished that 20 years after my death, a few people will still remember me.

how can a person proved that he or she has once lived?

whether its birth or death, life seems so fragile.

Just like many, I wonder, what's life about?

But unlike many, I will want to find out the answer actively. May be by the time I die, I would still be seeking for "THE" answer, but til that day, I still want to know what life is about. Why am I alive, and what's the meaning of love.

haha.... just recalled something silly. last year, my dad gave me the best 21st birthday present. he left a voicemail in my phone (when i was in exchange in jpn). For the first time in my life, he told me that he loves me. I almost teared.

Its good to express one's feeling, simple and directly.
