Dunno what to write... but just wanna create an entry to remind me of how free i am now. Took a 3 days leave which amount to 10 days off. For those who knows what my working pattern is will understand this theory. A bit wasted thou' since I am not going overseas this time. Taiwan trip is going to be in end Nov. "I AM GOING TAIWAN!" Gonna savour all the local delicacies & get lost in the busy streets of the night markets. :)
When one is free, he will begin to think of many things, things which he has no time to deeply ponder and rationalise in his life - the past the present & the future. I am of no exception. In this journey of reminiscence, many "what if"s will begin to appear in one's mind. The past will consist of questions like "What if our paths had never crossed? What if I had not given away my precious necklace? What if I had not said those words?". Questions you might ask regarding the present will be "Shall I continue in this job? Shall I sell my car" Shall I sign up this policy?" The unknown future will comprise of "Will I strike toto next month? How will my kids look like? What will happen if I take this path home?" Life is full of uncertainty, ambiguity & vulnerbility. Hence, we must always make contingency plans for ourselves if we want a hopefully-secured future.
It's like a gamble. When you placed a bet, say in roulette (my fave game)... If you place a bet on #13 straight up for example and it came out #13, you win 35 to 1 the highest payout in the game. However, the possibility of striking is only 2.63%. So lets say you bet on #13 again plus additional bets on RED & EVEN, if the result is again #13, you win 35 times your stake but lost the stakes on RED & EVEN. So you still win 33 times your stakes (provided the stakes remain constant for all bets). But if the wheel turns out #14, you lost the stake on #13 but you win on RED & EVEN. Overall, you still win 1 time your stake! By placing #13 is like a hope, a very tiny hope of 2.63% but placing stakes on RED & EVEN is like a safeguard method if case your hope is destroyed. Of course the worst may happen when all your stakes are lost i.e when the roulette wheel stops at #15. At that time, it's up to you if you want to continue in this game or forgo the loss and treat it as an experience to the casino.
