bishan cny market - luck

half asleep, half awake - that's the state of mind that may not afford you to carry on with your life happily. why?

if you are in your sleep, you live in your dream - sometimes happy, sometimes fearful

if you are awake, you live in reality, and you can assert your will power to face any problem.

but if you are half asleep, half awake, you do not have a reference of how to live your life; you would not know for sure whether you are dreaming or living in reality, so you would not know whether whatever you exeprience is worth anything to dwell on..... you are a confused bundle of nerve.

a confused guy is one who lives aimlessly, who lets his animal instinct control him, who flips from a good guy to a bad one and vice versa, at any moment....

there's a lunar new year make-shift market at the empty compound next to junction 8, bishan.

marathon man was looking at the lime pot plants.

he asked the seller, "this plant i bought last year, it's not bringing me any special luck. which plant do you recommend, this year?"

"the dragon ball kumquat will do well this year."

"sure or not, good luck will come hah? why?"

"this is the tiger year, dragon should pair with tiger very nicely... like the chinese saying 'crouching tiger, hidden dragon'."

"ok lah, give me two pots."

- weakling needs luck..... you may say. but who don't?
