chance or choice?

salam maulidur rasul. selawat dan salam ke atas junjungan besar nabi kita, muhammad saw.

pagi2 lagi aku dan kak norma gi swim. sejuk gak pada mulanya sebab cuaca mendung. tapi bila dah masuk dalam air.. err tak rasa la sejuknya. tapi swin tak lama sebabnya hujan rintik2 dan ada guruh. di kuatiri ada kilat..

balik dari tu, memang cadang nak beli barang2 keperluan sikit. sebab stock dah abis. tambahan pula dah set dah hari ni nak masak mee udang. mujur giant buke awal. tak de la kena balik umah dulu.

tapi sebelum tu, kena la breakfast.. kan kan kan. macam-macam kaler ada menu aku pagi tadi. sumernya high kolestrol. tak per sesekali. aku taw kalo minum teh tarik pagi2 akan sakit perut. tapi.. nak minum jugak, kalo sakit perut... errr sendiri mau ingat. hasilnya memang sakit perut. hehe.. ni namanya cari penyakit.
kat giant, ramai jugak orang soping pagi2 ni. macam2 aku beli dari barang2 makanan sampai le ke sabun, syampo dan iron board pun di borong sekali.

masa kat kg ari tu.. aku ada tanya mak sabun apa yang dia guna sebab masa nak lipat kain tu.. pakaian still wangi walaupun tak letak softlan ke apa ke yang sewaktu dengannya. aku tanya mak time tu dia guna brand apa. mak aku jawab 'mana mak tau, kan along yang beli masa raya hari tu' aku pun pikir.. raya bila pulak nih.. tak kan la raya haji. tapi memang betul setelah di confirmkan dgn mak. lambatnya nak abis. mak aku cakap masa beli tu ada banyak lagi sabun lama kat umah. biasanya sabun mak akan letak dalam bekas lain yang ada penutup bukan biar je dalam bekas ori dia. that why la tak ingat brand apa.

tada.. dah ada stock susu.
bila tengok susu ni, teringat ada orang tu.. terpaksa telan jugak susu yang tak sedap ni. kesian betul. tapi still lagi nak cover. hahahaha.. sape lagi kalo bukan king. bila di ingat lagi saat2 kat bus stand tu.. memang boleh senyum sendiri.

lepas je vacum kat bilik aku, buke kedai dobi arr. awal sehari. bukan sebab dah beli sabun baru.. lagi pun sabun lama masih banyak. kalo aku sorang, boleh guna lagi dua bulan. saje jerr beli wat stock. dah alang2 teringat. tak basi pun kalo simpan. brand masih lagi maintain arr..

masa basuh baju, hujan lebat. sebabnya baru lepas msg2. kak norma siap cakap ngan aku.. sebab kitorang dok berdua dalam bilik air. aku membasuh, dia nak merendam pakaian. bukan dalam bilik air sebenarnya.. tapi kat luar je..

kak norma : ni pesal basuh baju sambil nangis? kena dera dengan mak tiri ke?
aku : ujan aarr kak, bumbung umah zahari ni bocor
kak norma : tu, panas lit lap. hujan apanya.. ujan dalam bilik air, nak kata air dari shower, tak pasang pun.
aku : ala.. orang tengah sedih nih.. biar aarr...
kak norma : ni menangis beria ni, kenapa?... mai habaq sat? gaduh dgn prof?
aku : mana ada gaduh...

tu dia.. sekali kak norma tembak. dush! dush! dush!

lepas tu aku start masak mee udang. 1st time masak mee udang. sedap tu.. kak norma cakap, boleh wat part time buke gerai mee udang malam2 kat depan umah. tapi, dia tukang basuh pinggan jerr.. dia bagi cadangan, then dia yang ngelat. tak aci betul. aku suruh angah datang umah aku, untuk makan mee udang.
another birthday gift. nampak gayanya... banyaknya coklat.
petang, gi jj wangsa maju, teman kak norma nak cari lipstik. tapi tak de stock la pulak. kena pi klcc. ramai jugak orang kat jj nih.. apa la yang diorang buat. hihih.. sama jerr dengan aku jugak. sempat tu aku cari new york cheese cake kat secret receipi. errmm sedapnya..
ni my dinner. watermelon. manis tu.. aku beli kat giant pagi tadi.
err.. ngantoknya... tired la today. macam aku buat hari ni. tak rest langsung.

malam ni aku nak layan novel ni. ogie nyer. dia nyer sinopsis ni.. eerrr kebetulan jerr nihh.. sama tapi tak serupa.

ina, chance or choice?
When we meet the right person to love, when we're at the right place at the right time, that's chance.

When you meet someone you're attracted to, that's not a choice. That's chance.

Being caught up in a moment (and there are a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice. That's also a chance.

The difference is what happens afterwards. When will you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level? That's when all sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling.

If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that's not a chance. That's choice.

When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that's choice.

Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that's choice.

Infatuation, crushes, and attraction come to us by chance.
But true love that lasts is truly a choice.

A choice that we make.

Regarding soulmates, there's a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true about this: "Fate brings you together, but it's still up to you to make it happen."

I believe that soulmates do exist, that there is truly someone made for you. But it's still up to you to make the choice if you're going to do something about it or not.

We may meet our soulmates by chance, but loving and staying with our soulmate is still a choice we have to make.

We came to the world not by finding someone perfect to love,

BUT to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly.
