fate

What is fate?

Have you ever wonder? What drove you to wear that shrunken faded t-shirt you hardly ever worn, only to be spotted in it by one of the only person who ever knew you bought it? Are each and everyone of us driven or bounded by some inexplicable power and stellar cosmic energy? Are our lives predetermined and woven into a silky piece of tapestry made by the Gods? We share our lifetime with six billion other people and all of us are interconnected to one another within a six degree of separation. What is this force that calls upon and compels two forgotten people into a collision course?

13 years on and somehow... and how... we bumped into Vicky, our US/Canada tour guide eating at a restaurant we supposedly wrote off a while back. She's married and has a daughter too.

OH... and on the same night, I pulak was at Wangsa Walk where I saw an ex-colleague. It was about a year and a half since I left the bank. Never saw her since. First time I saw her new born daughter too.

And was it in the stars that I got a really delightful text message?? That particularly text made my day.

What is fate?

It's some high octane fuel which generates that bit a magic in your life. It's something which is awesome and surprising. It feeds the need in our soul to believe in the impossible. It's something which gives us the courage face adversaries and to make things possible. It gives us the rush to see things like they are meant to. It's something that makes us feel like the children of the universe. It's the answer to our hopes and prayers. It's a blessing, it's untimely, it's a gift, it's a curse, it's alive, it's comforting, it's a menace, it's divine, it's a sign, it's perhaps in the mind.. but it does bring all of us a tad bit closer.

If 13 years is no boundary, what's 13 hours away?
