the choice
i wonder...how long does it take to make a choice?
a second?..........
a minute?...........
...................................an hour?
...................a day?
...............................................................a month?
........................................................a year?a.........................................................................l i f e t i m e?
yes, it very much depends on what kind of a choice we are making.
it would be disastrous if every meal was turned into writing a 100 page thesis.
so, there must be some kind of hierarchy that our brains have learned,
possibly through experiences, over the years for us to make decisions,
to choose.
this hierarchy helps us to make everyday decisions within a split second even.
a choice made in a second may just affect ones lifetime.
a choice, by its very nature, concerns at least 2 possibilities.
we all know more than often we can't have everything so,
how do we make our choices everyday?
how do we choose one over the other?
or maybe the question should be:
WHY do we choose one over the other?
is it instinctive or carefully thought out?
the hierarchy:
depends on where our priority lies.
which depends on what we have come to deem as important in our life.
which is pretty much a choice we have already made earlier on so...
the choice:
possibly just a simple weigh of all possibilities presented.
you choose the one that weighs the most in your heart.
some may disagree.
it's more complicated than that.
but is it really?
or are we saying it's complicating just to say it's excusable and
to evade taking responsibilities for the choices we made?
maybe sometimes, it really is just that simple.
you choose what's more important to you. period.
you follow your heart, follow your instinct.
the instinct:
our instincts may just be the one to betray us.
the one to reveal our true hierarchy.
the instinct is the one that helps us make split second decisions -
to swerve left or right when faced with an imminent danger.
swerve left, you take the direct hit.
swerve right, you just let your best friend die in a crash.
(i didn't make this example up, some psychology fella did)
i think i just died today. again.
i died.
and now i have a choice to make.

puppy
these pups just melt my heart and make me smile somehow.
been looking around for a puppy to adopt.
choosing between a beagle and a mini schnauzer.
sigh...
people keep telling me how difficult it is to keep a pet.
and i wonder...
am i really that unreliable?
do they tell me because they think i don't know what i'm getting myself into?
and hence the kind reminder.
OR
do they think i'm not capable enough to care for another living thing?
and hence the condescending reminder.
sigh...
in their eyes, am i just a pup trying to care for another pup?
and is there ever really a good time to keep a pet? to follow one's dreams?
hmmm...perhaps. perhaps not.
i mean, if we are always just waiting for the right time,
will it ever come?
or do we have to take the leap of faith and make it happen?
instead of focusing on the problems,
why can't they focus on solving the problems?
seriously, am i really that unreliable?
sigh...

question
Question:people who blast their music on their handphone -
extrememly generous or extremely selfish?
my jap teacher was kindda appalled when
she noticed people doing that on trains and buses here.
she said that in japan, it's against the rule to use
mobile phones while commuting on trains,
esp near the seats for the elderly (guess why*).
and even when people use, they'd whisper and
only the 'bad' ones would talk at the top of their voices.
on my way home today,
two girls were blasting their music with their handphone
and singing along as well.
sigh...
i wish train rides were more comfortable and peaceful in singapore.
*to prevent any interruption with pacemakers. how thoughtful ya? ha~!
