Regrets.Opportunities

Before I continue typing contents that related to my subject, I realised that I have some photos that I have yet to post up here. Marking the end of any pending photos taken in 2012 that I have yet to upload here.


December 2012
We decided to have a Christmas dinner with mummy E. Initial choice was at Copthorne Waterfront, however we decided on Prego instead. I must admit that I did not know the Christmas menu was so expensive! The whole dinner for just the 4 of our (both mummies came and ate together instead) cost around $600!



Menu was totally changed with free flow of desert and appetizers.



Meat!!!





Very fresh oysters and prawns. Mummy E loves it!


 







Christmas dishes!




At the end of the dinner, there was this choir who came in, set up and started singing. It was really cute and made the whole place had the Christmas feel. What's missing was the crowd - it wasn't very crowded by the time we reached the destination and snow.



Well, that will be our first and last time having Christmas dinner at Prego except for normal occasion. I sure hope that Prego will be a place just for the two of us or with friends but not with any outsiders.

January 2013

Finally I get to post some photos for this year and hope I will have the time to post 2013 photos by the end of the year instead of bringing it forward to the next year. Not forgetting to post the day's events instead of dragging it forward to the next few months and forgetting what actually happened.

Anyway I haven't been taking much photos now, except with the convenience of the camera that comes with our mobile phones. Sometimes it also makes uploading of photos into blog posts much easier and should I need to edit any of the photos, it will be done using 'Instagram' unless there's a need to remove certain bits of details. If you'd noticed, most of my photos that goes with my posts are quite updated now. :)


With the opening of the Gardens by the Bay, we decided to take a train over, have our lunch at Marina Bay Sands before walking over to the Gardens.



Taking the circle line to Bayfront. How convenient!



Lunch time at DTF!



There was an underground linkway from MBS to the Gardens. By the time we hit the other end, it was already raining. It wasn't a light rain nor a heavy one but one that is enough to soak you should you stay out long enough without shelter.



From where we were standing, we could see the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. I do wish to stay there for just a night!



The closest we managed to get to the Gardens is by looking from the shelter. We decided to head back because of the rain. It doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon and I guess no point walking in the rain while trying to enjoy the flowers and trees and having your camera soaked by the rain water.

Back to my original post.

What is it about regrets and opportunities?

It can be anything small that does not really affect your life but it can be big enough to change your life.

Sometimes when one is given plenty of chances, one tend to take it for granted that the chance will still come and one will still have the option to choose whether to accept or to push it away, with the thinking that chance will come knocking on your door again.

However, that may not be the case. If one is being given too many chances, chance might stop showing itself one day and move on to the next person who will most likely appreciate it and accept chance with an open arms. That, will lead one to regret. Why didn't one accept the one chance of an opportunity? Why did one keeps pushing the many chances of opportunities away?

A person may say things they don't mean in a fit of anger which sometimes could be quite harsh, sometimes not. What if the person is unable to accept what the person who said mean things in a fit of anger? What would be the consequences? Loss of friendship? Loss of colleague? Loss of opportunity? Loss of a potential partner? Loss of a person you love? 

Yet when one is in anger, one's mind is also clouded. That even knowing the fact that whatever words they said in a fit of anger could hurt the person or they may even become physical but still they will continue on because they are angry and anger blinds them. Until when they calm down then they realised what they had done.

Perhaps, when one is feeling angry, they should try to take a deep breath and count to 10 to calm themselves down before confronting the person or the issue on hand.




















I am one step towards my goal. MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!
