Split Second "Go" or "No Go"

Life is tricky. One moment there is a "GO" sign, another moment it was snatched away by moments of life and replaced by a "NO GO". Just in case there are curious readers, i'm talking about my emotions, our human senses.

Weird it may be, it changes as fast as the clouds. Affecting the clouds are wind, rain, humidity and many factors which is not in my ability to expound *can't find geography textbk*, but surely not as complicated as human beings, or rather me. For me, woah.... it's a load of them, mis-communication with humans which always causes misunderstanding, people's feelings & emotions, daily situations, perception, decisions and many more.

I was driven by excitement after reading a blog link that my GF sent to me. It's a complain entry from someone's blog. For me? I chose to think otherwise, but the heart of the matter is my soul urge to vent my discontentment, anger, complaints, thinkings & everything inside me on a blog. I was thinking, "woah, this is so cool man, maybe i should revive my blog and do something about it. Anyway it's a free space for me to voice out my soul, who cares who reads it. It's My Space anyway". So i shall blog down moments of my life that affect me from today on. Read it and think whatever you want, or benefit from it. Something touched your hot button? Punch some sandbag and move on. But I'll make sure i cover those mines tactfully. <- See! I'm a diplomat at times. My title(Who Moved My Wanton) came as a revelation while i was having my buffet dinner with my dear at Quality Hotel. Oh i tell you, that place is one of my favourite dinner spot because the variety of dishes changes everyday. Happen that they served fried wanton on the day i was there. Was queueing up for it and when it's my turn, the chef came and removed the tray. I literally jump up and shouted "Who Moved My Wanton". Waited for a while assuming they are doing a refill, but my wanton didn't came out after all. Tell you man, i almost lose my appetite that very moment. Suddenly my mind recapped a scene of me reading a book at borders titled "Who Moved My Cheese". I wanted to laugh and cry, laugh because i never thought the analogy in THAT book would happen in reality & especially in my life! Cry because i realise, "hey, life gotta move on!" Not only on this wanton issue, but many other life's enconter. Later on i laughed again, caused i found my next favourite dish, teriyaki chicken. *LOL* Now you see, Split seconds "Go" & "No Go". For the benefit of those who has never read "Who Moved My Cheese" before, I've copied a sypnosis from wikipedia. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who Moved My Cheese Sypnosis:
Who Moved My Cheese? features four characters; two mice, "Sniff" and "Scurry", and two little people, miniature humans in essence, "Hem" and "Haw", live in a maze, a representation of one's environment, and look for cheese, representative of happiness and success. Initially without cheese, each group, the mice and humans paired off, travel the lengthy corridor searching for cheese. One day both groups happen upon a cheese-filled corridor in "Cheese Station C". Content with their find, the humans establish routines around their daily intake of cheese slowly becoming arrogant in the process.

One day Sniff and Scurry arrive at Cheese Station C to find no cheese left but they are not surprised. Noticing the cheese supply dwindling, they have mentally prepared for the arduous, but inevitable task of finding more cheese beforehand. Leaving Cheese Station C behind, they begin their hunt for new cheese together. Later that day, Hem and Haw arrive at Cheese Station C only to find the same thing, no cheese. Angered and annoyed, Hem demands "who moved my cheese?". Unprepared, the humans have counted on the cheese supply to be constant. After verifying that the cheese is indeed gone and ranting at the unfairness of the situation, both head home hungry. Returning the next day, Hem and Haw find the same cheeseless station. Beginning to realize the situation at hand, Haw proposes a search for new cheese, but Hem, dead set in his victimized mindset, nixes the proposal.

Meanwhile, Sniff and Scurry have found "Cheese Station N", a new supply of cheese. Back at Cheese Station C, Hem and Haw, affected by their lack of cheese, blame each other for their predicament. Hoping to change, Haw again proposes a search for new cheese. Hem however, comforted by his old routine and afraid of the unknown, again knocks down the idea. After many days in denial, including a search for cheese behind the wall of Cheese Station C, the humans remain without cheese. One day, realizing his debilitating fear, Haw begins laughing at the situation. Realizing he should move on, Haw enters the maze, but not before chiseling "If You Do Not Change, You Can Become Extinct" on the wall of Cheese Station C for his friend to ponder.
Still fearful of his trek, Haw jots "What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid?" on the wall and, after thinking about it, begins his journey. Still with worry, perhaps he has waited too long to begin his search, Haw finds some scattered cheese and continues his search. Slowly losing his denial, Haw realizes that the cheese has not suddenly disappeared, but has dwindled from continual eating, and that the older cheese was not as tasty and had been moldy. After a let down, an empty cheese station, Haw begins worrying about the unknown again. Brushing aside his fears, Haw's new mindset allows him to again enjoy life; he has even begun to smile again and is realizing "when you move beyond your fear, you feel free." After another empty cheese station, Haw decides to go back for Hem with the few bits of new cheese he has managed to find.
Uncompromising, Hem turns away the new cheese to his friend's dismay. With knowledge acquired along the way, Haw heads back into the maze. Still going deeper into the maze, impelled by bits of new cheese here and there, Haw leaves a trail of writings on the wall, hopeful that his friend will be aided by them in his search for new cheese. Still traveling, Haw one day comes across Cheese Station N. Abundant with cheese, some varieties strange to him, he has found what he is looking for. After eating, Haw reflects on his experience. Pondering a return to his old friend, Haw decides to let Hem find his own way. Finding the largest wall in Cheese Station N, he writes:

Change Happens
They Keep Moving The Cheese

Anticipate Change
Get Ready For The Cheese To Move

Monitor Change
Smell The Cheese Often So You Know When It Is Getting Old

Adapt To Change Quickly
The Quicker You Let Go Of Old Cheese, The Sooner You Can Enjoy New Cheese

Change
Move With The Cheese

Enjoy Change!
Savor The Adventure And Enjoy The Taste Of New Cheese!

Be Ready To Change Quickly And Enjoy It Again & Again
They Keep Moving The Cheese.

Cautious from past experience, Haw inspects Cheese Station N daily and explores different parts of the maze to prevent complacency from setting in. After hearing movement in the maze one day, Haw realizes someone is approaching the station. Unsure, Haw hopes that it is his friend Hem who has found the way.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Version:
Change Happens (Wanton Moves...)
They Keep Moving The Wanton

Anticipate Change (Should have grabbed some before it was moved.)
Get Ready For The Wanton To Move

Monitor Change (Should have guessed so, cause the tray is half empty already.)
Observe The Tray Often So You Know When It Is Getting Moved

Adapt To Change Quickly (Thank goodness never brood over it, else won't find teriyaki chicken.)
The Quicker You Let Go Of Wanton, The Sooner You Can Enjoy Teriyaki Chicken

Change (Good thing didn't sit & wait long.)
Move With The Buffet Spread

Enjoy Change! (Stuffing myself with teriyaki chicken.)
Savor The Adventure And Enjoy The Taste Of Teriyaki Chicken!

Be Ready To Change Quickly And Enjoy It Again & Again (Then i hv hokkien mee, mix curry vege & barley + icecream for dessert.)
They Keep Replacing Those Dish.

Oh hey, i'm not blogging to advertise on the book(Who moved my cheese) or quality hotel porridge buffet. It's just a penny of my thought, not just on my wanton being moved, but on life's unpredictables. I'm moving on man. "Go" or "No Go", i chose "Go".
