DESTINY

Do you believe in fate?

I thought that destiny is what we make of it. But seeing Carrie Underwood and Liverpool triumph this week, I wonder if my convictions need a revision.

All the signs were pointing to a victory. Especially in the case of Liverpool. All those coincidences that happened years ago, chills me. Even though they were considered the underdogs of the competition.

Then there is Carrie. The country girl with big dreams that have just been realised. She is the American Idol 2005. Do you know what was the first thing I told myself when I saw her audition? This girl has destiny written all over her. You know, she has all the traits of a endearing fairytale. She's a farmgirl who had to travel miles literally to showcase her vocals. It doesn't mean that I'm a fan though. For either programmes.

Destiny sounds great. But what about those not chosen to lead a life tiled by prophecies? Are we helpless in leading a mundane life?

I don't want to accept that. Even if the odds are stacked against me, I will never give in to these chosen ones because I will make my own destiny. Heh... (Don't know why I'm suddenly thinking about this though.)

BTW, my left eye kept twitching on Wednesday. Ha ha ha
