Sunday..A day often for some deep thoughts..

Life's uncertainty.
Like it or not, you gotta take it either how.

Say we all enjoy serenity.
But sometimes even serenity brings bites of uncertainty.
Like we will begin to think, to doubt if such peace will prevail all the rest of your life.

Having been through so many (and then some more), you really doubt the likelihood of that. (Isn't it?)
The moment you had it all so good, you will start to fear that the bad will soon comes knocking.

It's really tiresome to think of it.
But the good side is at least when you are prepared for it, the unpleasant feel reduced by significant touches.

Is that what you call un-optimistism? (I know that word is spelt wrongly somehow or it doesnt even exist. But hey, it do now. In my blog.)

Nah.
I called that being a realist.

I'm a half dreamer. (the other half is a realist cum critic)
I like all things dreamy and nice.
Cos' they are really nice and wont hurt.

Shall we face it that the world aint half as nice?
Oh yes it is.
No matter how many nice people you have met, you know that the statistics of those not-nice people doubled.
=/


We would always want to exercise a huge degree of control of our life. (our emotions and then the good and bad things in occurence.)
But in life, we are always restricted by one thing or another.

So we never really had the chance of steering the wheel on our own.

For instances:

When ya a kid, yer pop n mom say everything.
What you eat.
How you dress.
The way you talk.
Your mannerism.
The choice of toys.
The TV programmes you watched.
The time you should zzz.
Blah,blah,blah.
(Followed by ur elders n siblings.)

When ya in a school, yer teachers and everything else in the school determined everything.
(even the cleaners. When they decided to wash the toilet,you cant do anything about it.)

When ya in the workforce, oh everything had been sterotypicated.

When ya driving on the road, you cant drive as freely as you want.
Maintain your distance, keep left, turn on ur signal lights.

When ya in the army, oh..that's a long way to go.
Dont get you started.

And so on and so fore.

Even the languages, the structure of sentences, your own blog, the way you dress and look, your height and weight etc you use is graded.

Infact I cant think of a single thing right now is unrestricted in a way.
Say even when you fartor dig your own nose, you gotta do it privately and discreetly.
Duh.

There is no absolute liberty.
Lady liberty should be blind folded,I thought.
But hey, she's no Singaporean.
So it's ok huh?

Dont mark me on my patriotism,please.
I know I make a lousy Singaporean.

For many things I appreciate the place where I'm borned.
Likewise, for many things I wish I could have (be able to do) more.

Hmm.

Looking the whole situation in a more colourful manner.
Life isnt that bad.

At least my life isnt.
Sure it could have been better.
But I'm content.
Though that doesnt mean I should push and do more.

The art of life.
To each of your own definition.

My own formula?

Um..
Since you know that what's here wont be here forever.
I would say...Chew on that uncertainty and put on your spontaneity.
It may not works all time.
But sure it makes miracles when it works.

When ya down on the stumps, just keep it in mind that it's a cycle.
Down & up and down & up.
