at home, we have always used the same container for the sugar for quite some time. a long while actually. long enough to make us people at home so familiar with it as to how to open the container, that we open it subconsiously. we just know that to take the top off, we have to twist it clock-wise. it has always been like that, really. but today, it was different.

i was making coffee, and so i took the sugar container. i twisted the top, clock-wise, just like every other normal ordinary day. but it didn't budge a micromilimetre even. i held it firm, and twisted.

still not a budge.

i felt the heat of frustration. i twisted again, held it the most firmest, and yet, it became tighter as ever.

i put the container down on the table. i stared at it. i was quite bewildered.

i took it again, and i twisted the top anti-clock wise, the very opposite direction to which the top wouldn't ever come off if it was twisted that way on any any ordinary day before today. and smoothly the top twisted open. i got my sugar, and had my coffee.

and so it got me thinking...the sugar container mini-micro-insignificant-short incident must surely has a reason to its happening. (yes, i tend to think too much over minute things when i get too bored)

i was thinking, i've been wondering about several things going on in my life right now. contemplations, decision making, considerations to make, etc. (yeah i know it's probably nothing much as compared to the issues that other people who actually have a life and are making huge contributions to the society or even the world at large are facing.) we often tend to try too hard in trying to do something, that we end up not getting it right. we all want things to be right, perfect and we do it in the very way that we think is right;simply because it has always been right for us. we have always think of things that way. we have always looked at things the very same way; our way. and there's nothing wrong with that since everytime we do, things turned out right.

but at one point in life, that right-way, that 'our-way' is just not right anymore. not-right, not meaning wrong, but that, it's just not the precise, accurate way anymore. that way doesn't work anymore. so where do we go from there? which way to turn, which way to head?

the answer's simple.

just not the same old way. anything, but the old ordinary way. think differently. look at things at a different angle. just not the same old way. :D

maybe i'm not making much sense to you all out there, but at this moment, it doesn't matter, because i've found my answer *beaming*
