Okay, I just suddenly thought of this line while i was writing my earlier post. My tuition teacher once said (okay, he said it more than once, but that's a minor detail) 'life is like a gamble'.

Which does sort of makes sense. Many things in life is like a gamble. From choosing which stream to study in, to what sort of course to enroll in for university, to the dreaded 'confess or not' situations.

I would like to draw the example of poker. I'm sure many of you know about poker. In the game, using the general rules, you can switch the cards in your hand. So it's sort of like that. Choosing streams, courses, is like what hand you're going for. You have a choice of what hand you want to play. Do you think that's a winning hand? Is the science stream really suitable? Or would you go with this hand? Is the arts stream more suitable? Can your hand win? Will your confession be successful?

Since, like life, it's highly unlikely of getting the perfect invincible hand, you'll have to bet on it. Will you bet, using this hand, or not? Will you win, or not? Oh, and i forgot to mention one minor detail. All your bets are 'all in' or in chinese, 'sai lan'. It basically means you're putting all your chips into the bet. So, there's no turning back.

And a personal question : If life is like a gamble, then...who's the dealer?

Hmmm....A good friend of mine is in a predicament...but I see no available solution for that predicament...or at least, i haven't been able to see a solution...

Which brings me to carpe diem. For those of you who don't know what it means, it more or less means 'seize the day'. Or something like that. However, for this situation, 'seizing' the day would mean that he would be single-handedly destroy everything he hoped for, everything he dreamed of.

You see, he's the type that goes about spouting 'carpe diem'! live life! Do what ya wanna do now, you might not have that 'next time'! You know, that thing people usually say, " see ya next time" or "till next time". What if there's NO next time? For life is fragile, yes? And none of us can foresee the future. At least, my friend and I can't.

So he's stuck in between his principle and his situation. Seizing the day, or chance, would mean that he would be destroying everything. Not seizing it, and he might not have that chance anymore.

Some of you might say : "Then go for it la! Easy!" But I ask you : Would you willingly do something that you know will fail? Will you knowingly go into a bombing zone, or directly in the line of fire? It's like walking into a minefield to play 'Guess where the mine is'. (no offence to minefield victims)

Well, that's all. And no, we still haven't thought up a solution.
