船 到 桥 头 自 然 直

Lately, a friend shared with us that he has limited budget for 2008 as he'll have to pay installment for 2 cars.
I think he has given this issue a deep thought and is still thinking about it
He's looking for more affordable alternative for his past times (gym)
He's pre-empting us on the tightness of budget that he may not join for further overseas trip(s)
He's also looking for a value for money and fuel efficient car.

I personally think this is a good thing,
it's at times like these we tend to put ourselves in deep thought.
it's at times like these we grow up
it's at times like these we appreciate the good lives we are having
It's times like these that pushes us forward
and not stay complacent where we are.
It's not that I'm saying that life should be difficult and full of challenges (no offence to those who like complacent life)
However, it's time like these that makes us look back with a WOW and feeling fulfilled,
feeling so proud of ourselves for we have not wasted our lives.

And to my this friend,
Bravo, you've done a great job so far. Keep up the good work !!!
Sometimes (not always), 船 到 桥 头 自 然 直
literally ... boat reach jetty automatically straight
meaning ' when the time comes, you'll find a way (or ways) to handle it'
Trust me on this.
