Life’s Brief Candle

This poem introduced in our life during our junior year of high school back to 2006. The poem itself does make sense from up to down and teaches us how we must appreciate our life as we only given one chance to live. For me, I see my life as a drama show that usually shown on TV every weekday, we couldn’t light out what sort of consequences will visit us regardless of good news or bad news.

This afternoon, I discovered one of my favorite YouTube entertainers died from a deceased. What makes it worse is that he already ascended into heaven for almost a year, leaving me unknowingly about his loss. Until now, I still couldn’t accept the fact that he has gone, gone for eternity, no more exchanging messages habit. He seemed perfectly fine when I watch his last video where I learnt about his death through the comments. As always, showing his generous smile and happily enjoy filming himself in Japan.

Rodger Swan, died at the age of 23 in Hanamaki, Japan. I stumbled across his videos by accidentally while I was searching a video about Shenmue (an Xbox game) last year. Learning that he had several common interests with me such as loved Japanese horror movies, liked English literature, enjoyed playing Shenmue games, fond of Japanese culture including manga and anime. I quickly felt interested on his future videos after that. All of his videos dedicated to his life in Japan as an exchange student in Tokyo, later a year or two, as an English teacher of three different schools in Hanamaki. Other than that, he also did review for Japanese horror movies.

This guy DOES NOT deserve to be taken away, not in a young age nor having a pure heart. You can see him smiling all the time by watching his video and trust me; it was a natural smile. Starting from January, I never seen any new video of his pop out from my subscription and I assumed that he must be very busy. Then, the truth came out… and it is the saddest thing I ever learnt…

R.I.P Rodger Swan

If you happen to be a Japanese lover, you should watch his videos either on Yotube (simply type Tokyo Swan 1) or on his blog which can be found in my Bff's list on the right hand side.…

I've learnt one thing from his death; when you wanna achieve your goal or fulfill your dream, just go for it, don't wait as time won't stop by and say hello to you... This is why i said enjoy your life to the maximum...

A memorial video that made from a fan. It touches me multiple times...

Today, I learnt about a young Malaysian guy who took his own life after being broke up with his girlfriend. Did I feel sorry for him? NO. I told you before; whoever commits suicide with any reason is an idiot or just a coward and not supposed to be sympathy with. Instead, I’d laugh them for choosing a real stupid decision. I can't believe that some people actually treat him like a hero. I mean, he gave up his own life just because of lost love? WHAT THE FUCK? Then what about Rodger whom trying to inspire the world but died very abruptly? Human can be real stupid sometimes..
