Appreciate all that you've got

We don't realise what we have, till its gone, Y

Guess what? The Drama performance on Monday is cancelled. Cancelled with a capital C. After all the rehearsals, they say its cancelled!? Argh! Another thing. I opened up the Photoscape software, and it said it has updates or wtv. So I decided to update it, since it'll become better. And the thing just disappeared after that ok. I tried to download it again, and it can't. Superbly frustrated. So now, I'm editing my pictures in picnik. Its not that bad, but Photoscape's better. D; Tmrw's Saturday, and there's no Drama as well. There goes my lunch plan with yingjie and hengyee. :( And, I can't find my mp4's USB Port or something like that. And, I've lost 13 bucks! I can't find it. God, this is such a depressing post. I wanna go eat my Ben n Jerry's ice-cream, and wallow is self-pity. It feels like the end of the world, but my current 'plight' is nothing compared to how people all over the world are feeling. There are kids, little kids, even infants, suffering without food. They're like skin and bones. Kids with no parents, abondoned. Crying their throats out for someone to pick them up lovingly, or a tiny morsel of food or a tiny drop of milk. And here we are, screaming at out parents if they don't give us something we want. There are kids who are being abused by their own parents, and strangers. And there are tons of other kids, in Singapore itself, who are being abused, starved and open to loads of problems. The thing is that we don't realise how lucky or what we have we are, till we lose them. I'm not saying I'm perfect. I am definitely not. But sometimes, I think we need to take a long hard look at our life. And, whatdotheycallit? Yes, soul-search. Reflect on what we've done. I've stopped wasting food, and I definitely try to donate more. The pictures of the starving kids are enough. I still remember, once, I'm not sure if in priamry or secondary school, but we were showed this Powerpoint slide. Really heart-wrenching, I tell you. There was a picture of a African boy, around 5 to 6 years old? He was standing near a cow's anus, drinking in its urine. Yes, you guys might go "Eee!" But thats what they do, since they've got no sources of water. And some other kids were picking rice off the sandy ground. That's how desperate how they're for food. I feel much better now yes. I started of this post feeling grumpy and frustrated. But something inside made me think of all these, and there you go. :)
Here's one picture anyway,

Mummy?
