LaW of SuPply and DemaND

I went to send my broken shoes for repair today.  Then, no discount.  And it is not cheap.  And worst, ETA is 1 to 2 months only can get it done. 

"Why so long?". I asked.  
"Too many shoes!", he replied, lansi-ly 

What's his competitive advantage?  

1. Can repair this type of shoes  

2. Assumed to be having the necessary skills - evidence the long list of customers  

3. Got proper machines 

4. Got a proper shop, no flight risk. 

What I think the other reasons 

1. RM depreciated strongly agains USD, so all new shoes is sky high price 

2. Bad markets, ppl save money by repairing instead of changing 

3. People want custom made shoes now, don't want to have a standard product. So can lansi to others. Instagram-able and Tik-Tok-able. 

Conclusion 
Who would have imagined, in a few decades back, that a shoe cobbler is more in demand than an Engineer. To put things into perspective, a shoe cobbler is a Shoe Engineer. So nothing changes.

jacky cheung advise 2011.12.10

Somewhere in the middle of the concert, he mentioned about his continual success and able to last for 30 years as a singer, isn't an easy task. He said, in actual, he has continued to put in a lot of effort all these while. And when you listen to him live, only then you'll know what is the true meaning of giving out your best in doing something. We have to adopt this jacky cheung perspective in whatever we do.

Like the way he sang, must put in the whole heart. And continue to put relentless effort to make things better. Of coz he is paid a few millions for that, but think this, isn't he already got the few millions 10 years back? Or even 20 years ago? If you got a few millions today, can you still guarantee that you will still work as hard tomorrow? and still have the heart to chase your passion for the next 20 years?

Jamoica almond fudge, why?

why? why? why?

why don't you wait for me, jamoica almond fudge? you know, i have traveled so far just to have a glimpse of you, to have saved for a month just for this night with you, to have braved through the rain just to arrive at your pink doorstep, only to be greeted by all your friends, without you there. Your mum told me that you're out of stock since yesterday. Your sister, jamoica, is just not good enough, coz she doesn't have the nuts..., and i mean almond nuts.

Why? why don't you wait for me? haven't i been loyal enough? from the land of the sands to the bolehland, have i ever ever cheated on you? from 0.7BD to 7.50RM, i still do love you, but why gave up on me? no matter what happens, i will be RIGHT HERE WAITING, NOW AND FOREVER, UNTIL THE OCEAN DOESN'T TOUCH THE SAND...JAMOICA ALMOND FUDGE.

ACTION!

life is like a box of chocolates!

Have you ever watched "Forrest Gump"?
If you haven't, go watch it. Now. I don't care if you go download legally or illegally, youtube or whatever, just go watch it.

So, there is this one sentence Forrest Gump (Tom hanks) says which is always puzzling me. He says "Life is like a box of chocolates". Unable to understand for a few years, and never really took the trouble to look for the answer. But today, i don't know why. A sudden blink in the braincell, and i got the idea of asking in "Yahoo answers". In 20 minutes, I got 8 replies already! So fucking damn fast!

all the replies are shown below...

I totally understand it now. By the way, chocolates in Malaysia are so so so BORING! All is the same flavour...and is different than the rest of the world. Coz THIS...is BolehLAnd...

Questions i ask :

Life is like a box of chocolate. What does this really means?
And how to relate it with chocolate?
I saw the Forrest Gump, a very nice movie...

Answers i got :

In some boxes of chocolate, there are many different flavors. If you pick a random one, you dont know what your gonna get:)

Originally (and maybe still, if it's decorated classically) boxes of chocolate were just that; a most likely red box would be opened and there would be an assortment of chocolates, unlabeled, so maybe you'll grab one that's milk chocolate or dark chocolate or caramel filled etc. So basically a lot in life is unexpected.

I mean he SAYS "you never know whatcha gonna get" but that aside I always thought it meant "Everything looks the same until you bite into it and find a surprise" sort of "don't judge a book by it's cover" quote. It can mean anything people bend it into though.

Life is like a box of chocolate...you never know what you are going to get.
There are some chocolate boxes with many chocolates and they all look the same but when you eat them you sometimes get marshmallow, jelly, caramel, hazelnut or just plain chocolate. And most of the time, you didn't expect it. This would happen to me, I would always want the chocolaty plain ones but ended up with the yucky hard coconut ones. That is how its relevant. Nowadays most chocolate brands have pictures and labels showing which is which and the ingredients inside them.
Edited 11 minutes ago

THAT guy
It basically means you make blind decisions in life without really knowing the outcome. You choose a chocolate from the box, you don't know what's on the inside of it. You make a decision in life, and even though it was your choice, you really don't know what it will lead to.

don't call me today

If you're calling me on the phone today, and is puzzled why i did not picked up the phone even though the ringtone has lasted like forever, don't be mad. Reason is simple. I left my phone back home.

The feeling is good. PEACEFUL is the best word to describe it. Don't you think that we sometimes were simply over-connected? Facebook lar, twitter lar, email lar, iphone lar, msn lar, skype lar, and many many other lar. Which comes to the question of really how did the people 100 years before today used to call each other. The best was the fixed public phone which only available scarcely in the big towns. The other was the snail mail. And looking back, i don't think people those days are feeling unable to connect to each other. In fact i think people really connect on a much deeper level those days. Well, at least they don't text each other even though that person is sitting right beside you. They'll really have a conversation, face to face. And they laugh, they smile in real-time, not like this :) or like this :> or like this :]

the 3 steps towards happiness and wealth

today about a few hours ago, me and my housemates were having dinner over the table. And this housemate of mine, let's say "F", said he heard his colleague told him this a while ago. So this colleague of "F" who happens to go to some sort of motivational class / course by this one guru, shares with "F" what he learnt. Of all he learnt, it could be summarized into only 3 steps. Once he says this, i was thinking that if this thing really works, then there is no need for us to buy those motivational books with 1 to 2 inches thick, some even thousands of pages...with those small small fonts! If this thing really works...NO, it can't be true! But What The Hell! What is there to lose to know what he has to say? Becoming impatient, i told "F" to spit it out right away!

Step 1
You must LAUGH every day, any occasion, any chance that you have that you could find in your daily lives. JusT LAUGH! :) you see your mother, you laugh! you see your father you laugh! you see your girlfriend, you laugh! you see your enemy you laugh! you see the car you laugh! you see the cat, you laugh! you see the dog you laugh! you see the bird, you laugh too! Even if you see the "hamdai" also you laugh!!!

Step 2
You must make sure that you live in a super clean and orderly environment. Keep your table, workstation, your bed, your room and even yourself clean, at all times! When he said that, i was already thinking about the fact that i haven't mopped the floor in my room for weeks! EEEKKK!

Step 3
You must treat yourself damn fucking good. "F" said our body is something that is closest to us, and if we treat her as rubbish, rubbish will come out, if we treat the body good, it will also produce good results! In other words, spend on yourself! Eat good food like those bird nest, wear only LV or PRADA or HERMES or BURBERRY. That is all.


Immediately after the conversation the first thing i did was to do Step 2. Right after cleaning my room for about an hour, i do really feel damn fucking good. I don't know why, it just felt right. So from here i deduced that i must continue to list down and to do anything that will make me feel good after doing it. I remembered swimming was one of it. So that counts too.

About the Step 1, i think i just have to work on it more. Step 3 is EASY....i'll just "loooook" my credit card and it will be done before i even realize it.

So, any takers out there who wanna try this 3 steps? Wanna become the white mouse? Come! when you are practicing Step 3, count me in!

don't turn off the TV halfway through...

Have you ever experienced this situation where this friend of yours said that he/she wants to tell you something, and with great eagerness, you suddenly prepare yourself. You hear drums rolling in the background inside your head, your ear hole unconsciously grew larger in diameter, just to make sure that you won't miss a word of what that fucker is going to say. Then, he says: "No larrr....i think i better not tell you this!"

W.T.F.!

THIS...is EXACTLY the same as to turn off the TV halfway through the movie climax, where the scenes are already so "gan-jeong" and you were curiously waiting for the next scene to see what will happen to the storyline, and SUDDENLY it comes out this

"TO BE CONTINUED..."

If anyone is doing this to you, get ready your finger...the middle one of coz, and you'll know what to do with it.

UNCLE! Prawn Crackers?

This post is my attempt of writing just for the sake of writing, means whatever comes to my mind i just wrote it down, one of the reason is i have long been hiatus in this blog of mine for a very long time.

2 days back, i went to have a dinner ALONE by this chinese restaurant called "Full Moon Restaurant". This name is quite special, but for a moment i really thought that you can have the view of the full moon by sitting on the corridor of the restaurant. But instead of a full moon greeting me that night, a small young girl greeted me, with both her hands carrying ten to twenty bags of prawn crackers. She said "UNCLE, oui sik har peang mou?". Without even looking into her face, i shook my head sideways...i gesture with my hand to her (not the middle finger luckily, but i really had the sudden urge to do it while thinking back of the incident). "Nope, thanks!" And so she left, searching for another UNCLE in the next table i suppose. For as long as remember i was feeling down for the whole night, and maybe i didn't finish the "ku lou yuk fan" = "tomato sauce fried pork rice" that i order, or did i? Can't really recall. So what the hell is happening here? It's that word...the most dreaded word i have started hearing these days. The same word that i used to call others when i was still a kid running down the street, or when i go buy sweets at the grocery shop and asked the taukeh how was his business that day, or when i asked the ice cream seller on the honda c70 bike give me an extra scoop of jagung. Those were the times where fire crackers were still legal to be played with...

and i can't believe my ears now that what i used to call people, are being used on me. So the conclusion is "whatever goes around, comes around" is true. You treat people nice, you get nice treatment later, if you treat people like an asshole now, your asshole gonna be really really loose sometime in the future...so simple is the idea!

When you are still wearing pampers they will call you "be-be"

When you are still wearing a short pants playing guli with your gang, those UNCLE call you "sai lou"

When you lepak in the bus stop near the school, those teachers call you "Leng-Chai" (this is really my fav part!)

When you graduated and go to work as a newbie, colleagues call me Sam Chai while other people still call me lengchai now and then...still very syiok the feeling!

Then after a few years of working and your hairline goes higher and higher, they removed the "chai" and replace it with "Kor"...it becomes "Sam Kor"

And looking at the current progress, it will maybe change to UNCLE Sam very very soon. And later will be Sam Yeh, or the Armageddon day will be the day when i hear people calling me "Sam Pak" or the double Armageddon would be "Sam Gong"!!!

I can't take it anymore~~~ help me ! help !!!!!

Ceebai, i wish i could stop the time and remain as Sam Chai forever. Now i know why the Chinese Emperor send his troop to Japan in search of the "Elixir of Youth", not really becoz he don't have enough time to conquer the whole world, but is actually becoz he really can't stand his friends calling him "UNCLE" behind his back!!!

Too bad he couldn't find the elixir, but if i were him, i could actually go to Korea and find the SNSD of those times where each of the leng lui will forever refer to me as "OPPAAAhhhhh~~~~~~~~" - and in a very very sexy voice ~~~~ "OPPAAAhhhhh~~~~~~~~"!!!

Oh, what the fuck is happening to my brain lately.......

End of post

Michael taught me something valuable...today

I found out yesterday that i am the kind of person who is emotionless. I cannot really appreciate and recognise love from others, or even love or express love towards others. i am a very self centered person in terms of love. all i think of is me, me and me!!! That is the only conclusion i could arrive at, after noticing myself unable to even drip a drop of tears after hearing the sad news from his sister. Tonight is still the same. I saw Michael laying there, motionless, and still people around me were crying uncontrollably, and i still am holding up. What is the matter with me???

Conclusion i made:
All this while, i have been on the receiving end of the friendship with Michael, never the giver. Never even cared to give a birthday present, never even make time for a visit once in a while, never never never! Why? Becoz all i think is me, me and me!!! And i took everything for granted, that everything will last forever, everything will be there waiting for me...which is so damn wrong!

What i am gonna do:
From today onwards, i will really use my heart, to be the giver, to be working on any relationship, and not just let it slip by like this, only to regret when it is too late. I am gonna express openly of what i think to the people that matters most to me, do what i really wanna do, and i won't give a damn to what other people think of me. Life is just too short for me not to learn this lesson. Thanks for the lesson Michael. You'll always be my brother!

tiada lagi~~~ tiadA LaGi~~~

Got a call in the middle of the night at 10pm from a close friend.

Mr S: Wanna come out or not?
Me: You still haven't recovered?
Mr S: Just come, I'm at Sunway Giza
Me: It's already the *third week already, you know?

Anyway, half an hour later, i was with him on that small round table, him having a Starker beer on his hand, me having a hot Tea on my hand...he drinks, i drinks, the two singer performing live in front was really good...especially the girl singer...and she sang...

Tiada lagi yang kuharapkan~~~

Tiada lagi yang kuimpikan~~~

Biar aku sendiri tanpa dirimu~~~
Tiada lagi kata cintaku~~~
Takkan lagi ku bersamamu~~~
Biar kusimpan semua~~~
Kenanganku bersamamu~~~

Such a nice song and voice of hers, I said.
Then Mr S said: The songs said it all that is in my heart right now! Let's go sing K! I looked at my watch. 11pm. Looked up and saw his sad face. "OK! Let's do it!" I remembered myself saying that.

why no water? why~ why~ why?!!!

Have you ever tried to brush your teeth, wash your face, and shave at the washroom at your workplace, instead of doing it at home? I had tried mine today. Woke up, open tap no water, go back room, change clothes, off i go towards the lift and car park, with bad breath from the mouth, and unshaved mustache...so fucking gross! No water to drink even...nabeh...

And now beside me is the Oral-B toothbrush, Fresh and White toothpaste and the Gillette razor packed in a plastic bag, and I am writing using my laptop at my workplace to vent the anger inside me...

my idea no 1 for apple apps: SnailMail

What is the difference between the olden days and now in terms of communication? People used to be sending each other snail mails. In the current days of so high tech-world that i live in now, people use sms lar, email lar, facebook lar, twitter lar, and even now the "what's up" thingy and even the new "pingChat" shown to me by one of my buddy the other night.

I agree that the current way of communication is way way faster(instant actually...) than those snail mails, but there is something that is still missing that is present in the low tech snail mail. Something is there in those snail mails that cannot be said, expressed, but it is there. And what the fuck is that that matters?

It's inside the word snail, which means slow and this converts to the meaning: you have to wait the other person to reply your mail, and then wait and wait and wait again for the mail to be sent by the postman or fed-ex guy through the skies and the sea and the vast land, only then reach into your mailbox. Which means one more thing: you got lots of time to guess what the other person is writing, what is the content etc etc. You mind start to imagine things that may happen, or may not happen, you start to imagine some silly things going on the other side of the world, you start to count on your calender how many days has passed since you mailed yours, and whether it has arrived or not...and all sorts of thoughts that can make you sleepless start to kick in, causing you to have panda eyes now and then...

Which converge to one more conclusion: That the "waiting" time is actually the most interesting part of the communication, because it makes you "wondering and guessing in the air" what the fuck is happening.

Conclusion: If i could just create an application that can send a message to the other sender, and it will LET THE OTHER SIDE KNOW that i have sent him / her a message, BUT the message can only be read on certain date or time of the year and thereafter. That means the receiver will have to wait for the stipulated time, before she knows of the content inside the mail. It would be so fucking interesting~~~

examples of how this is gonna be used:
--> you wish a person happy birthday 2 weeks beforehand...
--> you have done something that makes him/her angry, so angry that you'll get killed right away if you tell now, and you don't have to courage to tell right now, you send the mail now, and by the time she sees your mail, you're already out of danger zone.
--> i ran out of idea for the moment...give me some!

Whai i learnt from "The Truman Show"

Just 30 minutes before I started to write this post, i had just finished watching the movie "The Truman Show", one of my favorites from Jim Carrey. There are many memorable scenes from the movie, but the one that really inspires me is the scene where he braved the storm and head towards his dream of getting to Fiji, the place where he believed he could find Sylvia, where he could be a freeman, out from his controlled world. And the bastard director Cristof said one thing that i think is very true : "We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented".

That is why sometimes when we were too immersed into something, we thought that is the only world that we have, because that is the only world that we see. But actually, things might be totally different out there! And it is worth to explore!

All said, it is time to get to my ship, and sail off tonight! Arr...in case i don't see you, GOOD AFTERNOON, GOOD EVENING AND GOOD NIGHT! SMILE :) BOW FOR THANKS...

The difference between now and then...

Chinese new year 2011

On the days of CNY, you see no one on the street along your housing area...all you see is many cars parked by the house front, people just lay inside the house all doing their private things, away from the others. People are just content with watching TV, online, facebooking, or sleeping. Or simply said, is an environment of "you-do-your-thing, i-do-mine, don't-come-bother-me!!!. I would rather spend my time watching all the rubbish programmes and movies on ASTRO, or talk or play games on the stupid iphone, even surfing the net!"

CNY on 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s as told by some old folks i met.

Everyone will be spending their time OUTSIDE their house, not INSIDE. They'll sit under the tree in front of their house, under a bench, with children playing fire crackers by the roadside. The old folks will invite their friends to gather at someone's house, and start the talking cock sessions. The uncles will gather on another table next to the bench. From afar, you see that bunch of uncles similar to a bunch of ants assembling together on a hill of sugar. Then you hear the yelling of "Pee--caahhhh!" once in a while, followed by laughters. That, is the mini Genting Highland of the village.

the aunty is not missing out too, They too have their own gangs to play on mahjong...

the younger ones, will come out and play with all sorts of fire crackers. Some are so loud that it scares the hell out of everyone. The leftover debris from the fire crackers, red in color, could pile up on the floor until five to six inch thick...

I was told the nemo fish only had 3 seconds of memory...

I went back to the house as usual that day, only to be informed by my house mate, that one of the two nemos has died (Nemo fish = clown fish). Reason? Overeating. Felt a sense of guilt. Coz the other day, I thought that a fish should eat a fair amount of fish feed, 3 times a day, like a`human should do. So, without anybody at home to do the feeding, i thought i should be the good guy...so i opened the cover, and sprinkled and sprinkled and sprinkled the fish feed into the aquarium...Eat more nemo! Eat more!

Then, it happens...

My house mate that day was not angry...he is ok. He just jokingly said..."Do you know that fish only has 3 seconds of memory? That means it can't remember what it did which is more than 3 seconds ago" "Huh?!! What?", I say.

THAT is why the fish can't recall whether it has eaten or not...he see there is fish feed, it continues to ear lor...

Then it comes to my mind, what happens if human also have a limited memory of 3 seconds only? Two conclusions. For those who has a lot of bad memories of the past which haunt them all this while, this is the perfect gift for them. But for those who has some really nice experiences of the past, this is just the worst curse anyone could get. I wish there is one scientist that could clone part of the fish brain and put it inside the human brain, to those who really needed it. Or maybe, an optional on-off button should come together...so if for instance, i wanna forget this blardy conversation i am having now with this blardy asshole, i'll just switch to 'nemo' mode, only after the conversation, i'll switch back to normal mode...isn't this idea great?

BTW, what the fuck am i doing here? Why am i here?
Nabeh...i gotta switch to normal mode now...

how I vent my aNGeR...

Sometimes shit do happens, and there are times when the whole mind is filled with fire...so hot that the blood can boil off on its own. And more often than not, the ones that we love and care is always the one to get burnt by the fire...

Emotion is hard to control. To shut off emotion is like to put a plug to a compressed tank. Anger = Energy. It cannot be destroyed, but it can be converted to other forms.

Below are my current ways of venting the anger in me

1. Throw things
2. Fuck (in words) of anyone who gets near me
3. Repeat the above until all the energy is used up

I am now compiling a list of ways to harness that sudden burst of nuclear power within, for the greater good. I hope i can remember this at the time of need.

1. go to take a long shower
2. get out from the place far away from those that may get burned for at least 1 hour
3. go swimming
4. clean up the house
5. go make a nice dish that needs a lot of hard work like kneading a dough for bread.
6. sketch or write out in paper.
7. sleep
8. run, SAM, run!!!
9. go to somewhere cold, really cold...

a funny discovery!

While Isaac Newton who made a great DISCOVERY regarding the law of physics when he was hit by an apple under the tree, I, today had made an even greater DISCOVERY while having a pee. The DISCOVERY, the conclusion is this:

THE LEVEL OF CIVILIZATION OF A COUNTRY AND IT'S CITIZEN ARE DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE SPEED OF FLIES IN AVOIDING YOUR PEE(OR ANY OTHER LIQUID TAT YOU PREFER...)

In the country where i am living since i was born, it is very very very difficult to even touch a FLY. Man's speed is just too slow to catch or worse still, pee on them. That is why slapstick has to be used if you were to really wanna smack them. And you even has to be very good at it to make it works.

But today, during my pee session at the site office today, I noticed that the flies here are very slow motion. It's either they were too fat and too heavy, or maybe they are just too damn lazy to budge. They seemed like not care at all what is happening around them. And hence, pee was poured on them. I did not mean to do so...i am so sorry, but at the very least you can fly away mah! Why your reaction so damn slow one?!!

Then, right at the blink of a second, something come to my mind. The attitude and the reaction time of the pee-ed fly, seems to be very much the same to the working contractors here in general. This do not apply to everyone, but only to the large percentage of people here. I am so sorry if i made such a strong remark here, but i really BEH TAHAN liao. KNN, how the hell can you do business like this way? Just waiting for me to call you, to chase you, to fuck you and to fuck you again, then only you start to do something! Ceebai, if you are in my country you "zhar dou" also cannot ar!

Hence that explains why i can't pee on the flies in my home country, but can do it here right now. I believe that if I were to do it in some advanced countries such as USA, Japan, Korea or China, the probability of peeing on the flies there would be close to zero.

The above hypothesis is supposed to have a very high level of confidence. If you don't believe it, try to do it yourself, and if possible let me know the result.

BTW, next time if a fly here goes to stick on your food, i will have to stop eating it already, coz if you continue, you will maybe eat inside together with many pee from the stupid ppl here, which i believe will make your intelligence level coming closer and closer to 0.

p/s: pease don't take too seriously of what i rant here. Nothing political or racist. Just pure 'kek sam', can't find any other way to release the tension...please forgive me.

what i got after i saw the movie...

i just saw tis movie called "ais kacang puppy love". i just regretted that i did not watch this in the cinema, coz i think the effect will surely be more deep and profound. Just missed it. Ceebai. Never mind. I still got 70% of the effect.

The movie, according to my standard, which is a bit higher than average people, is a good one. No lar, to say is a good one is a bit too stingy. I shall say is a fucking good movie! It has been very long time since i saw one that has given me this kinda feeling. With so many rubbish movies coming out all these years due partly to piracy esp the HK movies, this is the single one that really caught me by surprise!

some actors are still acting like shit, talking like shit, it's like reading a book when they speak...but i dunno why, these suddenly become less important. What is more exciting is the storyline and the drama between the few main characters. there a too many scenes where there is a good deal we can learn from. And it just feel so true...

i just wanna share a few that i could remember right now

1. there is this guy who is eldest son of a coffee shop boss who always blame others for not achieving in life. And the only thing he is good at is to talk and talk and talk. No action at all. Then after some lecture by lee sin jie, he finally realised his mistake. He knows what he want to achieve, and most importantly, he stopped talking rubbish. He began to talk only those that matters, and he finally put into action his words. Bravo!

2. there is this old man who frequents the coffee shop, and is like a transparent glass to everyone, coz nobody seems to notice him, especially this michael wong guitarist. At one part of the movie, this man leaves the mortal world, and right at that scene where all the coffee shop mates saw the coffin car pass by, someone just say that life is short and we should do whatever we wanted to do or achieve in life. Wait for what? Ceebai, this one really hit me direct!

3. another scene where lee sinjie went to penang to look for his fucking gambling dad, and found out what a jerk he is, and finally she realise that all that perception she has about her mother was wrong. She made a phone call and apologise to her mum over the phone, before hugging the public phone and crying there. THAT scene was really something,...i mean really touching and good...

3. the most memorable scene would be that of the sohai ah niu who finally realises that his only last chance of meeting lee sinjie would going to diminish if he do nothing, and then he cycle all the way to the bus station, buy a packet of red bean ais kacang on the way, got hit by the bike (this scene is terrific!), then finally reach the station and got hit AGAIN by the bus. (Ceebai, if hit like this still not die???). Then lee sinjie came out from the bus, but this ah niu is somehow holding back himself to express his love for her. At this point, i feel like i wanted to jump into the scene and wacked ah niu kau kau, smack him right in the face. Dunno why, just have the urge la. And this scene again shows that "after suzhou, there is no more ship!". Suddenly i just feel lost...dunno why...why why why???? The chance is in his hand just for that very moment, and he let it go just like that. Suddenly, i feel like this "letting go of the only chance" was so true in all my life so far. i believe it is true for many people out there too.

so i hope these few scenes will serve as a reminder to me and you, that once chance flied away, will never come back, and it's just split second where the chance will exist. Wait for what??? WAIT FOR WHAT???? LIFE IS JUST TOO SHORT TO WAIT!
