have you ever thought of going back to the past
to make that one change that you've always been 
wanting to change? 

what do you think about knowing too much will 
cause you more trouble than you can ever think 
of? what about just accepting the fact that 
things might happen for the better reason? what
about knowing that there might be even better
things that will become of?

all of these thoughts came to me when i watched
a movie called the butterfly effect revelation 
on my flight back to taipei this afternoon. 
speaking of which, i nearly missed my flight 
again. yes, again. this is the second time and 
it's really hitting me hard. i remember the first
time i took it really easy and i even lined up 
for it not knowing that the gate is going to close
and for that i had to wait for another few hours 
for my flight. this time around, i was too tired. 
i didn't sleep well and after work i thought i could
wake up earlier at 7 in the morning and head home
from the hotel. i've had 14 missed calls when i got
up and gosh, i must've been dead asleep. not to mention
how worried sick my parents were. adding a little more 
spice to that, it's mother's day. happy mothers day mom

took a real quick shower and rushed to the airport 
from the hotel and asked mom to pack my luggage and 
wait for me at the airport. took me forty minutes to 
reach the airport and i hope i don't get speeding 
tickets. dangerous, but i couldn't afford to miss 
another flight. everything went okay after that and 
here i am writing thisto post on my blog when i get 
internet connections afterwards.

it's funny how things in life work, especially when you 
least expected things to happen. i bumped into nicholas 
teo at the airport today. i ordered a nasi lemak for a 
quick lunch because i thought i haven't had it for the 
longest time and so i should before i have to wait for
the next trip home. me and nicholas had a nice chat and
seriously, it kinda felt good to talk to a long-time-no-
see-friend. we took the same flight back to taipei and 
i'm pretty sure he's writing stuffs on his laptop from 
where he's sitting at now. 

oh yes, the movie i was talking about what if you can 
go back in time to change somethings that might or
might not make things better, or otherwise. it made me 
realized that sometimes, things happens for a reason.
we often think that if only i could turn back time and
correct my mistakes, thing would've been better. but 
if you think about it, things happen for a reason and 
i'm pretty sure it'd be better to just leave it as it is. 
this is because once you try to alter things that has 
happened for a reason it might become worse. 

so maybe that's why until today time machine is still 
yet to be developed. the irony of life. 

kudos.
