There is this poem called The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. Do u know the poem? The poem is about the writer making choices between 2 paths, wondering which one he should take and what it would be like if he have chosen the other path..the road not taken. sometimes i do wonder about certain choices that i would have made in the past but i didnt at that moment, or certain things that i would have done but didnt. wonder what would have happened then?
What would have happened if i had worked harder during A levels? maybe i would not have lost it. maybe i would have enter NUS instead of Monash (n more stressful than now? or more fun?) if i m in NUS now, maybe i would have mastered another foreign language. maybe by now i would have been able to speak n write fluent japanese. or some other languages.
Or..what would have happened if i had taken up one of the 2 polytechnic offers? if i had taken up the 1st one, then i would have ended my A levels at the very beginning, since the offer arrived during the 1st 3 months when i was just starting my A levels. if i had taken up the 2nd offer, which came after my A levels results, i would have graduated as a physiotherapist by now, n should have started earning money..Sing dollar somemore. n there would be no Monash. no KL. wont meet any of my uni friends, which would be a bit sad though, since some r really nice friends.
What would have happened if i have accepted some certain other invitations? instead of rejecting them at the end? maybe my status would have had certain changes. maybe. by then i still didnt know much about having fun. still too obedient. doesnt really matter now anyway.
But obviously after making a choice between 2 paths, which is usually irreversible, no turning back, u wouldnt know what it would be like then if u have taken the other path, will u? well..but sometimes i still wonder. just wonder.
n maybe there r better things lying ahead. who knows?

ReplyDeletehehehe..to tell u the truth, i NEVER regret. :p if i never go s'pore i wouldnt have met u right? that would be quite sad then since i will have less one sweet friend in life :D
ReplyDeleteyes life's alwaz full of "what if" or " i could have"... u cant turn back time..but i believe there's alwaz other options... not to turn back time or claim back whatever u'd left behind...but to give usrelf more options...life's alwaz full of changes, let alone decision made. unknowns n variables lie ahead of every path we'd chosen, its OK to change..in fact, u will only improve if u change..tht's jus a piece of my mind..
