what would have happened then?

There is this poem called The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. Do u know the poem? The poem is about the writer making choices between 2 paths, wondering which one he should take and what it would be like if he have chosen the other path..the road not taken. sometimes i do wonder about certain choices that i would have made in the past but i didnt at that moment, or certain things that i would have done but didnt. wonder what would have happened then?

What would have happened if i had worked harder during A levels? maybe i would not have lost it. maybe i would have enter NUS instead of Monash (n more stressful than now? or more fun?) if i m in NUS now, maybe i would have mastered another foreign language. maybe by now i would have been able to speak n write fluent japanese. or some other languages.

Or..what would have happened if i had taken up one of the 2 polytechnic offers? if i had taken up the 1st one, then i would have ended my A levels at the very beginning, since the offer arrived during the 1st 3 months when i was just starting my A levels. if i had taken up the 2nd offer, which came after my A levels results, i would have graduated as a physiotherapist by now, n should have started earning money..Sing dollar somemore. n there would be no Monash. no KL. wont meet any of my uni friends, which would be a bit sad though, since some r really nice friends.

What would have happened if i have accepted some certain other invitations? instead of rejecting them at the end? maybe my status would have had certain changes. maybe. by then i still didnt know much about having fun. still too obedient. doesnt really matter now anyway.

But obviously after making a choice between 2 paths, which is usually irreversible, no turning back, u wouldnt know what it would be like then if u have taken the other path, will u? well..but sometimes i still wonder. just wonder.

n maybe there r better things lying ahead. who knows?
