i haven't read the book yet (somebody gave my mom a copy as a gift a few years back when people are so frenzied raving about it so i didn't bother reading it :P i'll change the rating after i read it.) anyways, my mom forwarded me the link to this video. i dunno if she can still remember that i asked her this question when i was about three or four years old (which she had just brushed off then, so i shut up thinking i asked another silly question. but i was deeply hurt inside). i can still remember how eager i was to know the answer when i asked, "what am i here for, mama? i was born, will grow up and will die for sure as everybody else do so why did God send me here at all? what am i here for?" of course, i may not have put it the way the three or four-year-old Lei inquired her mother about just out of the blue. but that's how i recall it. i was stargazing one night, tracing the the stars into patterns when the question suddenly popped up. the question that i mulled over for years now yet still haven't found the best answer.
