Yet another reflection...

People change their nicknames in MSN Messenger routinely if not, often. Usually, i take no notice of them. A popular style for example, would have you typing out some latin proses like Carpe Diem and bla bla...

As of late recently, people would create nicknames in either Mandarin, Japanese or even Korean scripts. Inevitably, those nicknames would be related to movies, drama serials
or pop icons. After all, it was the Japanese and Korean pop culture that sparked interest in the two respective languages...

However, there is this one nickname that caught my attention immediately. And it caught me in a vice-like grip. I was stunned by it if you will allow me to be a tad exaggerating. It goes as "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right".

On first impression, the statement struck me as being outright macabre, no doubt about it. Then as i paused to comprehend it farther, i was captivated by the sheer tenacity that the creator displayed in his show of frankness, which was bordering on brutality. But how true it is! And the many facets of it-owing to the many highly different interpretations that could be derived- amazed me. It was such a long time since i came across such an inspiring statement. It was almost as if i stumbled onto the Holy Grail when i was pushing open toilet cubicle's door. Alright, alright... Before you dismiss me as a mobile action-packed blockbluster, the statement isn't exactly earth-shaking...

But the impact on me was definitely there, i assure you...
