its been quite a eventful day out, from over at my darling's place to a steamboat shop somewhere in bugis and then over to clarke quay for some round of drinks.

i realise its only when one heads out and socialise with others that things happen. different things outside of one's regular routine. when things aren't controlled by your whimsical wants and wishes, one will be forced to adapt and make best of the situation; or the choice to enjoy or suffer the moment.

choices are made everyday, every moment. there is often no right or wrong to those choices made, only consequences and after actions. like karma, what goes around comes around. when one does not convey the desired message, the outcome becomes undesired; when one makes a choice in a rash without considering consequences, the consequences comes back around and kick you in the balls (if any).

but then again, who's never made bad choices? and whenever we realise the choice made is bad, there's another few choices splayed outfront: 1) you wait. 2) tackle immediately and rectify. often the choice made is 1) you wait. i'm not saying that is a bad choice, as many things are out of our hands, and based of situation, we have to wait for the appropriate opening to tackle the issue. as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait, but not for too long please.

i feel like an old man right now, after seeing my boys drink to their enlistment in the coming week, time seems to have just whizzed by. i need to do more meaningful stuff, find my loose endings in life and tie them up, plan for the next 5 years of my life, plan for the next 10 years afterwards, and plan how to clear my off-in-lieu and annual leave.

to be a better man? well that shall see, after all, perfection is contentment. will i ever be contented with my life? hahaha. i wanna be smart, but maybe just when i thought i know enough, i will realise i actually do not know anything at all.

oh the irony.


Waihong, living still.
