They say there will always be a first time.

So this is it. No grand opening nor amplified announcement.

I hope I wouldn't start ranting in this space because I find ranting online a tad troublesome. I would rather say it out LOUD. Anyway time do not permit me to write anymore, I am right now expecting the arrival of a VFP.

A very fat person/a very funny person/a very fupid person(okay, no such word but it's supposed to mean stupid, get my point?) That friend of mine falls under both category, you decide what you want to call her. ya la.. Yew Leepeng is coming to my house for a stayover. She insisted on me picking her up from my house bus stop because she claimed that she is scared.

Why did I used the word 'claimed'? This is because anyone who knows her understand the universal fact that if there is anyone who wish to kidnap/rob/harm her, they most probably wouldnt succeed. You can ask shumin. I mean seriously, with a rowing machine record of 395 Watts, who will dare to do anything to her!?!?

Isn't it queer that people are always scared of things that never will happen? You are afraid of insects like cockroaches and lizards even if you are more capable of killing them than the other way round. That is just like saying, ' I fear that I may choke on my tofu. '

Okay not many right-minded people will say that but it was just an analogy. Cockroaches aren't tofu.. and tofu don't look like roaches.. but my point is that why do we constantly fear things, why are we constantly on guard? Is it not God we trust but ourselves? Being on your guard is always a good thing, it stops you from taking things from granted. However is being on guard/wary/alert wise? If it is wisdom, why do we feel even more insecure after being on guard? If it is not wisdom, then is it a good thing for us?

Can precaution not be exaggerated? When we are wary, we tend to form senarios in our mind. It is like being wary while walking home in the dark. When we remind ourselves that robbers/perverts may be lurking around and it's best to be cautious, we subconciously form this image of a pervertic robber lurking around the lift lobby of our flat. When our thoughts translate into images in our mind it creates a more real concept that impacts us more deeply. This real concept can make us panic, scare and more wary.

So, if precaution brings fear, is it good? Can we stop precaution into escalating into fear?

When should we let go and let God.?

Alright.. Leepeng is coming. :)
