fate.

fate.

sometimes i know im not doing a good job, but i'm glad that my friends are there to fill up the gaps. and forgive me too, i guess. hmm, so now i wonder whether there's actually consistency in my capabilities, or the way i do things?

hmmm...i dont know, you tell me.

anyway i forgot to blog about something. met up with some of my friends last saturday at Sakura @ Science Centre. the food was better than expected! but too much raw food is taking a toll on my tummy..there is always a price to pay for stubbornness!

but anywayyyyy, the point is.. i was shocked to hear that one of our friend is now pregnant and ready to deliver in December. maybe not so shocking that she's about my age, and still studying together in university with her newly-wed spouse. but more shocking that she had anticipated this way back since we were in secondary school.

i clearly remember the night, about 7 years ago, when she came to our room and we had a long chat about palm reading. apparently she and her family are gifted in palm-reading and have been practising it since she was born.

so her palm had been read back in her country, and she was going to "have her first baby at the age of 22".

some of her closer friends had mentioned before about her house with cupboards full of such palm-reading books, but i never really took it to heart. i admit, such things do interest me, but it's just so hard for me to believe it. i guess maybe not in singapore, but in other parts of the world, there's so much more waiting for us to uncover and discover.

some may argue that it's the self-fulfilling prophecy? like some may say "we make our own fate". but judging from this case..i really don't think so. it's scary ya? so what if we know what's gonna happen in the future. what if fate is something that we can't change or escape from? no matter how early we forsee or predict it.

maybe fate is just something there, waiting for us to uncover, and to accept.
