Recently I've been thinking alot. Not that I do not normally think alot. Recently I've been thinking alot more. Yeah you must be thinking, 'What?! She thinks so much already! She can actually think some more?! I can barely cope with that much thinking! Wow!' Anyway, like I said, I've been thinking alot.

You know the phrase 'Live like there's no tomorrow'? Well, it's supposed to imply that every individual lives his life to the fullest and experience everything in case he doesn't get to do it if he dies the following day. I used to be a believer of the phrase myself (Note: believer is not the equivalent of practiser or whatever you call it). Recently, while I've been thinking alot, I found the phrase a little extreme, bordering on greed (I'll give you 5,4,3,2,1,0 seconds to think about it). Yea? Well, living like there is no tomorrow brings to mind (my mind, at least) a typical Singaporean family at a buffet, elbowing people out of the way to get to the best food first. A typical Singaporean family eats like there's no tomorrow, works like there's no tomorrow and complains like there's no tomorrow. Well, considering that's more or less life in Singapore, then in the Singapore comtext, we do actually live like there's no tomorrow. OK, maybe I went a little out of point there. However, I still think that the above inspirational quote is a tad overenthusiastic.

I do think that opportunitiesshould be grabbed and people should not forgo chances for later regrets. Still, I think a more appropriate phrase would be 'Live each day like you're living it a second time'. Think about it for a while. Imagine you've just had a shit day (made all the wrong decisions, the decisions got you into shit, making another decision got you into deeper shit) and you've ended miserable and reflective at the end of the day. Of course, that has happened to me before. In fact, more than what many would think. Often, I'd sit in front of the mirror at my doorway and reflect (my day. Not my face. Though that's a nice reflection.) and think how much I'd want a second chance to relive the day. Then I would be able to make all the right choices and do things the right way. So now, when I need to make a decision, do something I don't want to do, do something I am supposed to do and the like, I would think of myself at the end of the day or week or period of time, miserable and thinking how I wished for the day to repeat with me doing all the right things this time. Of course most people are wary after they have made a mistake once and tend not to do it again. Bearing in mind that you could have already lived that shit day and here is a second cahnce for you to relive it in a better way, you'll be more likely to make every decision with caution, lest you regret it again.

Does it sound too confusing? Just thought it was an interesting thought and wish to hear your views on it. Perhaps this will inspire some (like I said in class. I'm inspiring) yet look dubious to others. Whatever. Concluding is not really my forte. So. Bye.
