death sentence after last supper

nothing religious about this entry. nothing to do with the cruxifixion either. it's not even really a supper. neither is it a death sentence in its most literal sense.
i just came back from dinner alone downstairs because i was dead tired today. slept past midnight for the past few weeks and woke up at 1030 this morning then went for jamming session. had first meal at 12+. went for another makan session after jamming at around 3+. reached home and k.o.ed till 7+pm. apparently, the sleep kinda slowed my digestion so i was still a bit full after waking up. went for dinner at 10+pm and got reminded by the surroundings that i do enjoy late night/early morning walks when not many people are around and there aren't that many vehicles on the road. the silence and cool breeze is amazing.
then i came back and picked up today's straits times. when i hit the page on the 'death sentence' of former kpmg ceo eugene o'kelly, it's tuesdays with morrie all over again. when diagnosed with brain cancer, in his last days, he wrote in his memoir that he started thinking more deeply than ever about his life than he had. doesn't that sound familiar? that's the amazing thing that death does. it's the point when people start recollecting and have an overview glimpse at what they had done and the workings of this world. time just flies sometimes, but when we start noticing the details of this world, even the steps of a pigeon along the streets is intriguing.
speaking of reading the papers, my 7 year-old cousin called one morning a few weeks ago. he was asking me what cartoon i like to watch, and not being one who hits kids central button on my remote, i told him, '我不看电视的 leh' and surprisingly, he asked, 'HUH? then 你每天坐在 computer 前面?' hoping to get some good influence on him, i told him, '没有 lah 我每天看报纸' and the best part of his answer came, 'HUH? 你是老人 liao meh?' LOL...
