Many things to post but didn't feel like posting yet. Haha. Long story below please take note!

Start of long story!!!

Wanted to tell a story about luck and perception. Few days back, as usual, I went to work as a temporary admin assistant and bad feeling comes when my Ez-link card failed to work. Having no idea what happened (it worked very well the previous day), I opened my purse and paid in coins. After reaching the Mrt station, I asked and found out my card was expired with about $7 inside it. Oh right, I wanted to keep the card so I just have to forfeit the money and I got up to the machine to purchase a one time card for $2. I inserted $10 but the maximum change is $4 so I have to go back to the staff again to get smaller change. Up to this point, I felt sian and definitely not a great start to the day. Everything felt like there are not going to go in my way.
Finally reached work after the long journey and about 10/11am, it started raining heavily. It was close to lunch and I had to walk out without shelter to the nearest food centre for lunch. My mood fell down and wondered why is this happening?

As I ponder about the question, I thought of my situation today from a different angle. My card was expired, yes but somehow there was sufficient coin in my wallet to take the bus to the interchange. It was raining heavily just before lunch but somehow the rain miraculously stopped during lunch time for me to walk to have my meal. Then, I felt lucky and as the song goes, "Always look on the bright side of life", change the way you look at things, change the way you think and feel!

End of long story!!!
