Gift With Ribbon...Open or not?

Decided to blog. It's times like these i realised how precious weekday nights can be. Ever since i started work one year plus ago, i always cherish the weekday nights i have whenever i DO NOT NEED to work the following day.

Life of a full time student is different from a working life. Entirely different. I can still remember vividly what i told myself when i had this two weeks of break - the transition from a National Servicemen to Working Adult, i told myself that i got and ought to enjoy those previous 2 weeks and spent them like never before. Ultimately, in the end, thanks to the girl, i gave it to bloody Tila Tequila. I spent my day and night catching two seasons of that and just like that, in one blink, it's over. I've been slogging heads out since then and i doubt it will never be ending until the day i retire, which i reckon i'll probably not want that to come even. That was the time when i thought that, time really flies and it wait for no one.

How precious is time? I never had the answer to this question before, but i am starting to realise the importance of this question as years passed on. Do i have to wait till next time or tomorrow or the day after to do something i wanted or intended to do today? Or i just have to do what i wanted or intended to do today right away because no one knows what tomorrow or even the next few seconds hold? We, human beings, live in dilemma all the time. In fact, things are very simple, all the time. BUT, we complicate it. It's just a drink, why spend minutes wondering what to drink? It's just a meal, why spend time wasting and wondering what should fits into our tummy and what's fattening and what's not? It's just a phonecall, why fret over whether he or she will answer or not? If you need to poo, just poo. If you need to see a doctor, just go ahead. If you need/want to tell someone you love him or her, just do it. Like i mentioned, time waits for no one.

Everything happens for a reason. There must be a reason why some spend hours waiting for someone who turned out late on meetings. There must be a reason why some spend half their lifetime just to realise their right other half is just someone whom they didn't expect. If not, it simply feels pain not knowing why you feel sick all the time. It feels sucky not knowing why someone is mad at you. Bad things happen all the time, so do good things. We go through both to know their difference. We taste sweetness only after we gone through bitterness. It's not by luck or chance, never. A captain who control a ship which met tough and huge waves will feel a stronger sense of achievement upon reaching its destination. It definitely pays to be positive, nobody died from it or suffer from it anyway. Everyday comes a gift with a ribbon, it's only when do you intend to open it, and for some, do you even open it in the first place...
