Opportunity Cost in my life.

Somebody told me that Opportunity Cost is just a cheem word for cost. Technically, it means adopting an action that will result in the forgoing of the next highest valued alternative action which can otherwise be adopted.

I had the chance to re-came across this word in my studies (again!) and I realise that it can be applied to my life.

1) I forsaked my bubble- tea + 80 cents for a McFlurry Ice-cream. The 80 cents is the price difference in the bubble-tea and Ice-cream.

2) I forsaked my health and sleep for a night of hard partying and booze filled evening.

3) I forsaked electricity for web-surfing and visiting dubious sites. We all know which type.

4) I forsaked time for anime and manga.

5) I forsaked person X for freedom. Then came person Y. Then person Z. Recently, person X came back into the picture. Oh god!~ Why am I so wretched?


I am still undecided now on point 5. Damn it.



"Over and Out"

Troop Camp 07... Hello! I wasn't peeping.

The troop camp was from the 9th to the 11th. I thought that Serimbun camp being a nice place and everything... I would bring my binoculars along, you know, and do a bit of bird / wild-life watching...

Well, opposite serimbun camp happened to be another camp. And it so turned out that particular camp was occupied. By guides from a certain school. I shall not reveal the school in order to protect their namesake. It can be traumatising for them. I know.

I shall also swear to the big guy upstairs that I didn't know before hand that camp christine is occupied.

What happened next was disgusting. The moment I took out my binoculars, it was promptly snatch out of my hands by the boys. And of all places, they trained it opposite and after spying intently for several minutes, began a commentary on what they saw.

More specifically, the sights are trained on the female specimens in which the camp opposite happened to be crawling with.

The boys were having the time of their life... and according to several reports from them, there were sightings of an unexceptionally fine specimen with rebonded and dyed hair. Subsequent reports from the scouts indicated a very high probability of the specimen having a designation of guider and above.

What can I say? I am normal and my interest was piqued at that time. Furthermore, I had to ascertain the fact and diminish any hopes of the boys tactfully if the target is confirmed as something out of their league... You know, different age group and everything.

Suddenly, sightings were sound off and I immediately snatched the binoculars back in a bid to give confirmation.

But of all times, GSL had to choose that moment to walk into the room!

I tried my best to explain. But my explanation must have been futile since my GSL rolled his eyes at me. Those idiotic boys still had the cheek to laugh, jeer and poke fun at me, despite being partners in crime.

All of them looked but only I was caught.

Heck! Even Insatiable Gavin looked and escaped unscathed.

That insatiable fella still came up to me the next day and told me that he had target confirmation while I was handling the boys at the electric fence station!~
