Chapter 33: obscured
there was once i was very hungry. Nay, i was ravenous! suddenly, from out of nowhere i see this bowl of hot, steaming bowl of noodles in front of me. it looked absolutely scrumptious. some minced meat, spring onions, a few slices of fishcake and golden yellow noodles swimming in hot broth. it must have been a gift from the Heavens to this poor hungry soul. what did i do?
i turned the opposite direction and walked away. why? why did i do that? well, it was almost to good to be true, i rationalised in my head, while my hungry stomach protested. when i finally came to my senses and turned around after a few steps, it was gone. at that same exact spot, where there was a bowl of steaming hot, delicious noodles not two minutes ago, emptiness. sadly, i left the area with the ultimate feeling of regret. it was right in front of me and i did not appreciate it or even tried it. it might have been delicious and filled this stomach with absolute joy.
the story above, was adapted from the “Journey to the West” movie. the true meaning behind the story? the Monkey King related, that his only regret in life, was not appreciating what he had found, true and everlasting love perhaps. if only he had made an attempt when the oppportunity presented itself, the story may have a different ending. live without regret. say what you want to say and do what you want to do. before it is too late and the moment is lost. don’t wait for the bowl of noodles to make the first move.

So much of the imagination and yet it bring the point out so real. When we have something infront of us ( bowl of noodles ), we tend to forget how well it is. When we lost it, we regret and mad at ourselves. Lets think it this way:
"The bowl of noodle wont come to you"
GET the point ? So its up to you to decide to continue the story with the next chapter or display "The END" line. Who knows what you get trying the noodle ? You might get some first prize or something. You might also hate it after trying. BUT, atleast u dare to step out and try!!
