i've just finished The Testament by John Grisham.
nice book, i tell ya.
the female lead in this book plays a missionary in Brazil,
and i was thinking, issit nice to be one?
you know, going over to remote places and educate the people there on, say,
English, health care, basic hygiene and stuffs.
it's gonna be fun isnt it?
but the book wrote too that you'd have to spend a long time there,
firstly, to get the people to warm up to you,
learn their language/ way of communicating,
surviving skills.
took one missionary 11years to do that.
no easy feat eh?
i think it's really meaningful to be doing something like that,
plus, you can get off from the stress here too.
tribal people wont be holding on to handphones and using bluetooth to send each other songs eh?
nor do they use facebook and blogger?
lmao, in the sense that, it's not running away from reality though.
it's more like taking a break from it?
or, a fireman would do the trick too, to me though.
i've been advertising this ambition of mine to alot of people recently and i thought it would be real exciting too.
running into burning houses (not that i love houses on fire), but saving people?
a doctor would do it too, but it seems abit too difficult for me?
doubt it's gonna be easy for me though, haha.
