Choice

It’s been a while  : ) . It has been more than a week since I last moved back to university hostel . New room , new semester , new syllabus , yet same old roommate . I am grateful . This has gotta be one of the greatest blessing , having a better, bigger room , coupled with its better ventilation and extra space , yet still having the familiarity of an old roommate . Finally , I can say , I am more or less have already settled in .

Ahh, but today’s post isn’t about my new room , new semester , or even the new chapter of my uni life , it is about a more general topic . Yes , as the title indicates , choice . * Dang I am feeling philosophical *

After a few conversations with my friends ( forced conversation albeit ) , it made me wanted to blog about this important topic . Alright here’s how it started . I have quite a plenty of time starting Friday every week since I don’t have class on Friday , and weekends are of course , free . And as of now , my roommate is always busy from day till morning so he’s seldom in the room .

That would mean that I am very free , with plenty of time and space to do whatever I want , whenever I want it in those specific time duration ( Friday to Sunday to be exact ) . So ,today , the once in a blue moon feeling of studying actually came to me . So,at 8am I started to study . ( YES , study , you did not misread that . )  

Unfortunately the mood faded away in less than an hour and I resorted to facebook to cure my boredom and hopefully reengage my mood to study . ( ok, that’s just an excuse to facebook ) . So , as I was mundanely browsing the faceBook ,  A friend of mine started a conversation with me online , saying that he was at the edge of breaking down because life’s too hard , his schedule is hectic , bla bla yada yada .

The thing is , everyone’s life is hard and hectic at one point of life . and yet people don’t realize that their life is like that because they chose it . Here’s an awesome quote from Bill Gates “ It’s not your fault if you’re born poor , but it’s definitely is your mistake if you die poor “ .See the power of choice ? Every decision you made , will affect your life in one way or another .

Once a choice is made , stick with it , because , there’s simply no point crying over spilled milk . Regret will only burdens you down with guilty , sadness and ultimately depression . In retrospect , I myself have been on the verge of breaking down several times , heck I broke down quite a number of times too . I ran away from some troubles , I persevered through some other ones . And if there’s any lesson at all to be learnt from all those past experiences , it will be to remember that you yourself made all those choice . Nobody forced you .

When you’re down with depression and wanted to give up on something , remember why you held on so long in the first place . Similarly , remember why you made that choice in the first place ,and you are bound to find the strength to continue down that road that you chose .

Oh well, I guess that’s all. This is a terrible post , yet I can’t help to publish it , simply because I wanted an update in this blog . But hey , it’s my choice , and there’s no point regretting it right ? Haha ! Remember , YOUR CHOICE , YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! 

P.S * Look forward for some exciting post in the near future .......

 hopefully ! *
