You Came Along And You Cut Me Loose.

It's far too early in the day to be in a melancholic mood. And yet here I am, sigh. For a few weeks now I've been stuck on the topic of regret. How many regrets do you have? Big ones, small ones. I have my fair share. And yet what is the point? Or maybe the more pertinent question to ask is how can anyone's regret be valid since nobody knows how things would have turned out otherwise? Since we all only live once, how can we know which of the choices we've ever made were the right ones or not? For all we know all the decisions we've made have been the wiser ones, although of course the inverse is likely to be true as well. If you choose the wrong option in an MCQ then yes, you might regret it cause you were wrong, but in life, you can never know how right or how wrong you are, it's never an absolute, an unshakeable fact.

But regret does serve a purpose. If we do not experiece it we would not learn from our (perceived) mistakes. If we were immune to it we'd go through life and make decisions with hardly a care for their consequences.

I think my point is that it's only natural to feel regret. But don't indulge in it, succumb to it, wallow in it and drown in it. I think that's it.

I think I might take a nap, before watching the world cup later. Although the outcome has never been in doubt (Spain duh), I still gotta watch it. The thought of 3 weeks of confinement coming up is just dreadful. I didn't even feel this sian about enlistment. Sigh. Too lethargic to start packing and all yet, right at this moment I am woefully unprepared for tomorrow. Ohwells.

Note: A few hours and a few dota games later, here I am and I have packed! Very efficient man, this de yan.

Okkkkkkkkk gotta rev myself up for the world cup later. On a sidenote bucky (the cat from the comic) is quite hilarious about this world cup. I shall now read my book (a very good book) while waiting with barely contained excitement. Actually no............... I'm totally dreading the morning BIG SIGH!

Goodbye for now, enjoy watching Spain win guys! See ya'll in 3 weeks!

EDIT: OH forgot to mention how despicably cute Despicable Me is, do catch it guys it's awesome! It's so fluffy!
