do you want to be happy or to be right?

that question cropped up recently in a conversation with a friend over steaming kopi and an ohh so delectable simpang roti john cheese rip-off in the shady, recyled-oiled-smelling atmosphere that is al-ameen bukit timah,

the malay-french combo of bread, cheese, egg and minced meat was heavenly, but we didn't order it, we had in fact ordered a couple of cheese pratas,

to end this piece of reluctant analogy, well, is another question,

can we be happy and wrong at the same time or for that matter, sad and right?  ¶ 5:14 pm
