yesterday one of my university mate asked me out for a mahjong session.
after being out of mahjong for so long,
my hands are really itching for a round or two.
but the problem is, i have my last exam paper a day after the mahjong session.
not defying the theory of rationality,
i started thinking if a mahjong session will affect my examination performance and the concept of opportunity cost crossed my mind.
"i have to reject it! Because of the examination, the opportunity cost of the mahjong session is high; i can spend more time preparing for the examination."
in the end, i rejected my friend.
but right after i rejected my friend,
my random mind started tinkering.
Is the opportunity cost really as high as i perceived it to be?
i've done most of my preparation work,
i'm mentally prepared for the exam anytime,
and short of the lecturer giving last minute exam hints for us to prepare,
there is really nothing more that i can do.
at this point, i realised that my decision wasnt that "rational" afterall.
People always try to be rational in things that they do.
However, the fact is that there are so many factors that caused rationality to be irrational.
Some decisions are more "rationally direct" than the others,
But for the less "rationally direct" decisions,
it is better for us to open up our mind,
and appreciate others' rationale behind their decisions,
instead of jumping straight into conclusion on what is right or what is wrong base on our own concept of rationality.

就让我沈溺爱深不见底
抵抗痛苦没有力气
我爱你从不盼你回报万分之一
你不该走的那么彻底
就让我忘记再回到过去
欺骗自己比较容易
我好想醉身海里远离风风雨雨
拔掉我心上所有呼吸
怎知我情深似海全都是泪来灌溉
困陷在感情深渊不能醒来
海越深越是平静越是冰冷
爱越深越是执着越是天真
我对你情深似海你毫不眷恋离开
你教我怎么相信昨天存在
谁不想一旦付出就要精彩
偏偏你选择他来给你未来

Reputation can take sweat to build,
tears to anchor,
and blood to solidify.
However all it takes to send reputation tumbling down,
is a moment of folly,
the moment when a sweeping statement is made.
is this a calculated action?
or a last throw of the dice?
we will never know the underlying reason.
But what we know is that his sweeping words dealt a serious blow to his credibility.
