The journey and the destination
Someone reminded me of an old old saying today.
" Life is all about the journey, not the destination"
I always thought that life is all about the destination, not the journey...
Which got me into thinking.. Which is more important?
The journey? or the destination?
I always thought that in order to achieve what you want, to achieve the destination, the goal, it doesn't matter how difficult the journey is, what perils that come in its way or stumbles and roadblocks. Let the journey be bitter but savour the sweetness of your victory in the end when you finally crossed the finish line.
Then again.. is the destination that important? Must we go through a decade of bitterness to reach the destination? Will we still be able to enjoy it afterall these? Will it still be important then? Is it worth it?
Or should we make the journey pleasant all the way and settle at whichever land that the journey leads us to?
Which is more important?
To live for the moment or to aim for the future?
For something tangible or for a promise of hope?

I used to wonder..
How could is be possible? You need to know only 6 persons in this world to be connected to the whole entire world?
Only 6??
That...so little....
But lately with the random people that I meet again and how people are connected to other people.. to the point where it's getting freaky, it's true.. the world is really small..
I am a believer now

Lately I felt that I have been 'meeting' or rather bumped into people very randomly and very frequently.
This strange happening started from the place I am working now. About a month ago or so, I met this MO who used to be a chess hero back in the high school hay-days. That was Form 2.
Then another stange random 'meeting'. I bumped into this MO in my quarters who look exactly like a temporary teacher we had back then in Form 2 (again). Then there was once I had to call this MO to query on some prescription and boy boy.. the name also the same! Then when I spoke to him.. OMG! I think it's En Zainie who taught us science!
Never would I thought I would ever see them again. Now, I am working with them and living in the same block!
That's not all.
Was heading home on Friday. Got off the train with a colleague and saw someone standing at the top of the stairs who looks like this MO back in the hospital but thought that was pretty far-fetched. As we got closer, my colleague turned and looked at me and pointed at that guy. So it is him. All the way.. 126km and we still bumped into him. At a train station! In the big city!
And just today, I was at PDA Expert looking for a PDA to save my ass during ward rounds. Was looking at this Palm the guy recommended. The uncle next to me was commenting how nice it is and all. I requested to look at the medical softwares they had and the uncle asked if I am a doctor. I said I am a pharmacist. He then said his daughter is also a pharmacist from USM. O_O
Just graduated, now migrating to Canada. (Sounds familiar). Later I found out that he is Sharon's dad! WOW.
So random!
