Moment of Self Reflection

Date - 6 Oct
Time - 2245-2300hrs
Location - Somewhere along AYE

Reflection 1
Listening to 950fm, where the station is blasting all the retro hits. Thought of the crowd at Spinelli's earlier, and my question to C - "Why is Spinelli's so crowded?" (at 10pm at night, Spinelli's was having a brisk business to a full house crowd of coffee-drinkers; but on second thoughts, most of them were just lounging around, not sure whether if they would have bought more than 1 cup each and then just occupied the tables). C replied that "What's there to do in Singapore?"

Everybody has the same 24 hrs. The same few hours I spent at Orchard Road, had a different outcome to the same few hours those people would have spent sitting at Spinelli's amongst the coffee and stale cigarette air. The same 24 hours will never come back again, and the next 24 hours will lead to another 24 hrs, and another 24 hrs, and another 24 hrs...



Reflection 2

The few hours in Orchard Road was spent hunting down a pair of skinny jeans for Ms V. The eventual pair was a great deal at Giordano, which has produced quite a good range of ladies' jeans. Too dogmatic in my approach to thinking the best pair of jeans can only be found in other shops than the staple Hong Kong chain, I realised that I am like horse with blinds - suffering from tunnel vision and lack the most important thing - 用心观察,用心体会.

I really must change this.

Reflection 3

一个人能为他的遗憾奋斗多少?
Some may think it's time to move on, some will think that one shouldn't live with regret. Whatever the decision, I am sure that the reasoning behind it is all logical. And I admire the person whatever the decision. It's never easy to live with the choices one make in life and and all ensuring events subsequently.


p/s - Lunchers, I checked out the blog already..well, it's her blog :p
