OK, this sounds wrong because lots of people "pantang" with anything that's related to the after-world aka dead-people's world. But in this modern world, as mindsets could be switched from A to Z in an instant, nothing is anymore "pantang" when a self-written eulogy could be used in counselling or soul-searching sessions (and it's research valid!). It was what we in our counselling class during my university years was asked to do for our "Know Yourself" assignment, which I assumed the purpose of this section is to reflect on the deeds and bads we'd done so far in our life, and what we thought/feel thinking about it:
(yeah, sometimes I didn't know what I wrote, I never check my work before handing it over)
Below is your tombstone.
Fill in what you believe would be written on it.
(DATES ARE NOT NEEDED)
It was interesting reading back on my assignment. I was amazed at my own use of language, grammar, writing style, and mindset at the point of writing.
But that time, I wasn't such an assertive boy. I'm more interested in what others had to say about me because I'm just so INSECURE with myself and my surroundings, yeah pity my old-self XD. So I went out of the topic and got my friend(s) to write me my eulogy, and my job was just to compile it. I got to finish my assignment, and at the meantime, satisfy my insecure-desperado-desire for people to acknowledge me. And thought why not share it out for a laugh, an experience, a knowledge (for those who do not know what an eulogy looks like), and to get to know a little about my old-self, and again, for myself to indulge in acknowledgement *ehem* relive my memories of "assignment days" =p
So here it goes...
