Ever wondered why the world is so paradoxical? – By Perry
Sometimes to do the right thing, you have to do the wrong ones.
Sometimes to love someone, you must not fall in love.
Sometimes in order to save something, you have to destroy that very thing.
Sometimes to lead a happy life, you have to lead a sad life.
Sometimes the big things in life are the little things.
Sometimes to get the life that you wish for, you have to live a life that you would never have wished before.
Sometimes to get to the top you have to fall to the very bottom.
Sometimes to fill your cup, you have to first empty it.
Sometimes to go right, you have to go left.

(The above are a collection of what I have experienced in my life time.)

You’d probably be bored hearing this phrase once again … “I finally understood”. Perhaps to some of you, it might seem that I’m taking this word lightly. However through your walk in life, you’d probably use this phrase just as often as I did. After all, the essence of life itself is learning.

I finally understood something lately. I understood what I wanted in my past 6 months of life. What I wanted was not just a more relaxed lifestyle but rather what I wanted was to have a group of close friends. If you know me well, you’d probably know Perry is terrible when it comes to adapting to changes. However within this past 6 months, things have been changing drastically for me at every turn. Finally when I settle down at 1 place, I have to move to another and when I begged to return I eventually made friends and got used to life. Perhaps you guys won’t be reading this but Bunk 7, I love you guys. Even though we bicker at times and have ego issues however I had hell a lot of fun. We have got to be one of the best crapping gangs.

What do certain figures or numbers mean to you? Even though I once mentioned that I hope to become like Gilbert Arenas in a sense that he flipped a coin to determine the course of action of something and instead of going the way it turned out to be, he went against the odds. However there are some things in life in which we can’t place such a high stake. Imagine this, if you were to place a bet placing all your estates at stake and your chance of doubling it is 80%, it sounds pretty positive isn’t it? However, when a life is at stake it’s a whole different story. Unlike a simple gamble, we have to understand that it doesn’t end after a flip of a coin. There are implications to it such as the aftermath, the possibility of a reoccurrence, the chance that other risk factors will be triggered. When chance is brought to the surgical table, a 25% risks seems a lot more than it should.

Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence. – Lin Yu Tang
