Behind our faces...
The last two weeks have been mentally and physically gruelling and arduous for me. Almost camped in school over the weekends with a few of my classmates to brainstorm on our tutorial and assignments together. Spent like more than 12 hours in school each Saturday/Sunday. Tell me, how much more boring can life be. However, over these two weekends, we managed to bond together stronger, getting to know each other much more. Met up early together for breakfasts before sitting down to do the tutorials, and going for supper thereafter.
I then realised, behind each face, everyone has our own life story. And it amazes me, what we've been going through behind the scenes, the stories that each of us has.
For examples.
One of the girls, same age as me. Still single. Went through a toughest life period with her ex bf of 10 yrs. During the 6/7th yr, the ex bf married another girl (!!!), filed for divorce subsequently and went back to my friend. And after which, left her again, and married another girl whom he has just known for 1 week. And as my friend was telling us, she teared and said "he was my greatest love, despite the things that he has done. Cos he has taught me how to love and on the valuable lessons in life..." She enrolled in this MOF course because she wanted to pass time faster.
One of the guys, in his early fourties. Drives a mercedes around, has a few apartments in Singapore, etc. I've always thought he's having a good and rich lifestyle. He then told us that his wife passed away last June due to cervical cancer. His mum died of domestic fall, and his dad died of lung cancer. And he enrolled in this MOF course last August also because he wanted to pass time faster.
How can life be so torturing to us.
