Life's like a candle

This evening, I’ve experienced the most exciting ride in the LRT. The train with 4 coaches moved in full speed after departing from taman paramau’s platform… out of a sudden, it stopped, which had caused most of the passenger to fall forward.

Even the doors slide open due to the force of momentum…I was astonished! The doors are supposed to be lock!! the train kept moving and braking without warning until it reached kelana jaya’s platform! ( it did STOP at taman bahagia station but th doors remained shut!)

While I was in the train, there was a moment when something stupid flashed thruogh my mind. I thought the coaches were going to crash into something if it hadn’t open the doors at the last station and that I was going to die.

I felt both greatful and silly when the doors slide open. As I step onto the platform, I suddently thought of a poem which I’d learnt agers ago, a poem which was written centuries ago by the greatest poet, William Shakespeare.






The orangy red flame could be wipeout easily. Whenever the moving molecules in the air pass by the flaming candle, the fire vanishes, leaving behind nothing but white fumes.








Life's like a candle, it could end rapidly without warnings. Death's like the wind, it would just take you away, leaving you alive in other's memories.
