Just today i read a article in the newpaper about Singaporeans choosing money, time with close ones, health, leisure time over sex. Can this be a true reflection of the mental state of Singaporeans? I am curious. I would like to do a snap poll among my friends to check if this is true but i think i shall decide against it.
Firstly, the poll which i may put up will be biase because of my sample population. Sample population means the group of people that will be subjected to the polls. My beastly friends will definitely put sex on the top of their list!! Hahahaha!! But then again, that's generalistion and would not put my friends in good light and it would put me in a spot for thinking that all my friends are all sexually deprived monsters!!
Secondly, people might not give a truthful answer. Singaporeans though globally exposed are still conservative. To choose sex over other aspects would make them seems less hardworking, unfilal or even unhealthy. Common! If someone ask you to choose from the 5 choices above and you si bei buay pai seh and go choose SEX!! You are making yourself look bad what? Hahaha!!
Frankly speaking, i don't know how to choose between them. I guess i would choose more leisure time so that i can meet up with my close ones, then allocated some of the leisure time for sex, and then allocated some of the leisure time to earn extra bucks like giving tuition, and then allocated some of the leisure time to do exercise. Steady. One stone kills all birds!
But as we all working adult know... leisure time belongs to the boss.

"We lose sight of things... Sometimes"
Tiong bahru. My favourite haunt, where this incident happen...
Willy, Youyi and me were sitting at Banggawan Solo, talking about Youyi's new adventures of job searching. He has applied for Operations Executive position at Geylang shipyard and the job scope was to make sure all imports and exports of chickens were in good order and shape. Mr Willy came a little later in cab after he was shot in the back by some last minute, razor sharp broken arrow. By the time we start having our coffeee, it was about 9:10pm.
I was a little hungry and decided to get a double cheese burger as snack. This cheese burger that i wanted, i had thought of it wanting to get it when i was walking around the mall with Youyi half an hour ago while waiting for the "VIP" (Willy). I left them at the table and went ahead to grab my cheese burger.
I set myself up in the queue and look around to see if i can get other burger. I look at the $2 everyday promotions poster at Macdonalds' staring hard at it and saw my double cheese burger at $2. Then i decided to see what other burger i can have for and i look around finally deciding that the $2 double cheese burger is the only burger that is cheap and at $2. I waited patiently in the queue til i saw the lady in front of me ordered something $2 paid and left. It looks like a burger. A burger with yellow wrappings around. Ah... McChicken...
I glanced back at the poster and i wondered... Did i, in my pursuit of my desires, of things that i want, missed out on other things that would have made me better off? YES! I must have missed out on wonderful moments in my blind and relentless pusuit of wants. This incident show me how easy it was for me to lose touch with my senses. Even though, i ain't blind, i failed to see and realise. I was so keen and focused on getting the double cheese burger that i lost sight of the McChicken that was in fact more obvious to the eyes in the poster. I hope i would realise many such moments in my life and retify my actions.
I had my McChicken and felt happier...
