big decisions....

when you grow up you have to make decisions on your own and not have someone else make them for you...sometimes you get help in making the decision...and sometimes you don't really like the decision you make but have to deal with it coz it's the best way to go....

when i think of decisions i remember the poem by robert frost that we learned in form 4 about the road not taken...somehow that poem has always stuck in my mind

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


so today i made a decision...a big one albeit a bit rushed..i didn't look down that road as far as i could...coz i'll be making a detour (pretty sure bout this...but not happy bout it) in a few months time... i'm taking the road less traveled by (well less traveled maybe never been traveled by fellow malaysians in toyohashi)... and i'm feeling a bit anxious about it although hubby ensures me that if i don't like it or if the fare costs too much...we can make a u-turn and come back to the place where the road diverged...and go down the other road....
