"i'll worry about it when i get there"

"(Fr:HDBSales-SMS)SBF(Sep11): All 5-rm flats at XXX for Chinese have been selected. Your seln appt is cancelled. Pls do not reply."

Most depressing SMS i've received in a long long while. For those that know I've been applying with John, you'd also know that we had a fantastic queue number - only double digits. well, that's what i get for setting my hopes up.

i've actually been trying not to think about the house, or the money that's going to be involved in it for the longest time. my mentality was "i'll worry about it when i get there, because i have bigger more pressing issues to worry about". well looks like i won't even have a chance to get there because the chance has come and gone.

i'm sure some of you can relate: you set yourself up for a big event in your life, but murphy's law shows you up and there's nothing you can do about it.

i guess that's what i'm trying to get at with insurance? not that i could've insured that i would be able to select a flat from the government (although that would've been amazing!). there are other areas in life that should really be focused on lest something actually happen. then thinking about protection then wouldn't make much of a difference to the situation.

the below is a normal definition of "(to) insure" from a dictionary.

in·sure/inˈSHo͝or/

Verb:

Arrange for compensation in the event of damage to or loss of (property), or injury to or the death of (someone), in exchange for...: "the car is insured for loss or damage" Provide insurance coverage.

what i think should be added on to that is "to guarantee that there is no opportunity cost suffered (in any/some certain events)".

Don't worry about what to do when you get there because one never knows what the future will bring.

be protected everyone!
