Something new

I have been blog quiet recently, busy with work and the newest project, relocation. Have been hunting for furnitures around here. What is good here is the abundance of wood, from veneer to mid grade to expensive ones like teak. A colleague told me that the prices has gone up compared to 2 years ago when he bought a full set of teak furniture for RM30k. Today's price could be RM60k. Anyway why teak, you may ask? Functionally is extremely strong, has a good looking texture and is heavy. Its presents connects the modern household to nature. Do not be mistaken that teak furniture will be of traditional designs as seen in many advertisements, it can be made to any style (including minimalist) and has a wide range of colour from light yellow/brown to almost black. No whites though. The older the teak, the more expensive it is. This is because the older it is, the dryer it becomes and the stronger it becomes. Young teak if not dried properly may bend and not suitable to become big pieces.

We have chosen a sofa-coffee table set and it is towards tough/rustic looking than traditional. This will be an excellent centre of attraction and contrast to the other items in the room. Many people custom made their teak furnitures and prices is comparable to back in KL.

House decorating...hmm...never knew this is tougher than MBA

Choices and Consequences

It is a good thing to have choices even though it is choosing between something equally good or equally bad. Let's say choosing between 2 things which is equally good, a rational human being will supposely make a rational choice which is choosing the one which yields the greatest benefit related to cost...(foundation of economics).

How do one know what will be a better outcome or greater benefit 5 or 10 years down the road compared to the alternative? There is no way to know for sure unless there is a crystal ball or can go "back to future".

So how then?

I think comparing current benefits to current costs is a more realistic approach. Who cares what happen in the future...we can't control it and doesn't this moment count?

And, every choice has its own consequences and again there is no way to predict the consequences of the future. What if the future comes and it is then found that the choice is indeed a weaker one...but then again how do I know, I never live the alternative choice...

Ha! ha!...therefore no choice is a wrong choice. I realise that I have just gone one cycle, the learning is to exercise the choice, get on with it and enjoy the process.

No choice is a wrong choice and not choosing is definetely a wrong choice
