wait-and-see VS act-and-defend

oh my, what a busy couple of days. i'll just skip the rubbish and jump straight ahead.

met up with the cj gals - TT, KT, yeok and ja over at j8 yesterday (or the day before rather). ah man, it's been dinosaur years since i went j8. i use to live and breathe there. it "used to be my playground", to quote madonna. well, at least when i still lived in bishan for about 10 years. it's so different now. geez...i kinda didn't know my way around. haha...we had din tai fung and then went coffee bean and chit chat as usual lah. dropped such a bomb at them, i think they want more than a piece of me now. heehee...sorry gals! =)

so anyway, despite my busy and hectic schedule of meeting people and running errands and god-knows-wat i have been doing and spending my "free time", i've had time to ponder over stuff.

we all know trouble when we see one. well, at least i can.

disclaimer: it's just a thought (u know, as usual i have to ward off those evil spirits).

well, a lot of things in life are the same as being ill. when you have a little running nose or a throat irritation, there are 2 ways of going about it.

1. the passive wait-and-see approach.

2. the aggressive act-and-defend AKA prevention is better than cure approach.

sometimes, i wonder if i should just sit back, and go with the flow and see what happens. this approach has a lot to do with trust, faith and hope. a lot of it is hope, very much like a gamble. that's the minus point though, that you're taking a risk.

if i decide to act on something, even with nothing conclusive, i am being defensive and proactive. there are the plus points such as prevention (no matter short term or long term) and a scare tactic for the enemy at hand. then again, most of the time, it doesn't nip the issue at the butt. AND...how long can u stay in this defensive mode? it does gets tiring ya know?

so yah loh...life is such a dilemma. u really can't say for sure what is right or wrong. everything is right, and everything is wrong. but whatever is right may be wrong and whatever is wrong may be right.

i'm confusing a lot of people now, but i know you'll get it sometime, someday.

maybe there are ways to wait-and-see while acting-and-defending?

muahahahahaaaaa.........
