Could have been rich!

During the early days when people were still very superstitious, rumours about flying apparitions especially the one with dangling entrails abound. There was a male teacher who advised me to hang a bottle of concentrated acid at the doorway or windows of my living quaters to ward off the apparition with the dangling entrails. He even suggested that I get my bottle of acid from the science laboratory since I have access to the place.

I never took up his advice not because I'm fearless but because I know the danger of concentrated acid. Had I been less fearful of the stuff, I would have set up camp permanently in the chemical store as obviously that would be the safest place for anyone to stay. With all the different types of acid available, what other place could have offered a better protection.

As the apparition with the dangling entrails was a lesser treat in my opinion, I failed to seize the opportunity that came knocking. Just imagine how much I could have saved on rental and utility bills had I decide to camp in the chemical store! I could have been rich!

I guess I have to learn to seize the opportunity when it arises but then, how many opportunities can one have? I have heard before that opportunity knocks but once!

No wonder I'm still poor. Hoohoo.......
