Things to do before i go

Weeee!!! XD It was ages since my last post and today i will… uh… yyyeahhh… ok… what should i write about anyway? Geez…
LET’S TALK ABOUT DEATH!!!
Yeah, i was simply checking around Mix a few minutes back and apparently, there was a hot topic on "5 things you would want to do before you die". The topic was kind of a cliche- the type of thread where you can find it in nearly every pillowtalk. But then again, reading responses from other MIX users who are fine ladies and gentlemen ready to talk about anything openly, there was another subdiscussion on whether would we really do all those religious things before you die?
Come to think of it, there was the time when Dr. Raja Gopal did talked about the very same topic. As usual, people will come up responses like "praying to God for forgiveness" and "pray to God for redemption" etc. etc. At that moment, i didnt gave any answer but the truth is that the one last thing i would do before i die ( the question by Dr. Raja was "what will be the last thing you would do in one hour before your death?") is nothing. Think of it; there isnt anything left to do in just one hour. Might as well just lie down and look at the sky and dont think of anything. THough some ppl reading this might say that doing nothing in your last hour of life is a ridiculous shit to do; think about it; it is the most rationale one of all. Here’s some quotes i would like to take from MIx members in that subdiscussion;
"if you pray to God (in your last one hour) dont you think that you will just end up getting more mess inside your head. For once, dont you think that you will start thinking "what if there is no God on the other side"? I’m not saying that it’s a wrong thing to do (to seek forgiveness and all) but if you’re about to die, the only think you can think of are all the things you didnt manage to do, your regrets and your treasured memories. Before you know it, i bet you’ll just either end up looking at some photo albums or just rush to the phone to call people you know… with all those memories you want to recall, people that you want to reach and stuff that you want to say- you cant do all of them in just one hour- you might just end up lying down staring at the sky, reaching total point blank, forgetting about God altogether. My point is; the only think you will think about before you leave the world isnt the afterworld, it’s the world you’re about to leave"
Point taken but that’s a pretty big of a statement there- I do believe in the spirutuals on the other side. But with all the countdowns to your deathbed, your memories of past, your regrets, your memories and all other shit inside your head; is there still place for faith or rationality will take over? Hmm.. I hate to say it but there is some rationale about doing nothing before your death. In another words, some cables might be snapping off there; no wonder there are people who commited suicide upon closing in to their deadline due to some cancer. So, commiting suicide? Ridiculous but when you’re in such situation (like one hour before your death) you might end up doing THAT as well. What about taking drugs then? There was this strong arguement about "taking drugs before your death is lying to yourself as you are to afraid to face death in your wake" but what about praying to God? In a way, there was another arguement that doing either one of that is actually doing the very same thing. "Leaving your fate in the hand of nothing ("nothing" refers to both God which is compared to a hallucination when you’re on crack.. hmm.. "nothing" in this context is a big word…) because you are afraid of another ("nothingness" aka death)..
So what would i do if i know that i’m going to die in a few more hours?
Maybe take all my friends out to Kg Baru, have a big dinner (no such things as "dinner on me" ok?), order both Mocha blended and Cappucino blended and after finishing dinner, chat about crappy stuff.
In the last 10 minutes, go all out emo and start telling people that this is the best night ever (even if it isnt; well, just act as if it is la)
In the last 5 minutes, excuse myself so i can go somewhere secluded and wait..
In the last 10 seconds;….
