Have you ever made a rather major decision on a hunch?
And when people ask you the reason, you just couldn’t find the right answer that fits the puzzle best, it always seems like the hunch was more than just an intuition. It is more than following your heart. Perhaps, it could be based on a variety of facts coming from what had been observed and experienced. Can the mind possibly warn without knowing why? Shouldn’t a hunch be like an internal alarm, whether or not you should do something? I mean, there has to be a factor that triggers the alarm, no? Frequently, I ask myself, what is that factor? What makes me triggers the hunch? I think that’s why it is called the hunch, we just couldn’t trace the factor. So we just regard it as a feeling.
I link my “theory” with dreams. Just like how the mind could not create something the eyes haven’t seen, the mind hasn’t thought of or the heart never felt. The people whom you thought you never met whom had appeared in your dreams could have been the strangers you exchanged glances with on your way to work.

Personally, I had made decisions, quite major actually, based on a hunch.(I really hate this term but we shall just leave it as it is ok) The first was when I decided to juggle full-time work and part-time school. Oh boy, I should have prepared a script so that whenever people ask me the same typical question, I wouldn’t think of a new reason every other time. All the reasons I gave weren’t lies, it was just the possible factors that created the hunch.(you with me?hahaha) If you are one of the people who ask me this question, let me just list down the reasons.. (i mean the factors)
- I want to be independent/have my own income. I always have that fear of asking people’s money even though I was desperate. I still remember paying for my own school books or excursions because I just couldn’t face my parents asking for money, even though they are rightfully responsible for it. Scrap it, I didn’t even have the cheek to ask for school’s pocket money unless they give me. AND I still have much of that fear, hence I thought it would be better for me to start being independent and get my own income.
- I want to be different. I have been trying to seek out a different route rather than the fixed: after olvls, poly, uni, work. I want to aspire, I want to show people that regardless of routes, you can still be successful. At the end of the day, what matters is if you are happy with yourself. I always have the mindset that life is short, hence the journey matters. Live every moment before it’s gone.
- I love working. I love real life experiences. I prefer practical to theory. Which is why sometimes I think I’m good at teaching kids because of my short attention span and the way I learn are also like them haha! I can’t sit and teach! before the kids can even become restless, I would have been yawning profusely. Yes, I also need to mark books while standing despite my aching legs. I’ve become restless easily, juuuust like the kids. To conclude, partly the reason I love working is because I love my job despite many odds.
p/s: I have another hunch-made decision tho, the recent one when I deleted my most-active social medias – Twitter and Instagram!!! BUT This post has been rather lengthy hence if I feel the need to or people ask about it then I will create another post on the factors.
