A human's life - is it fated?

Is the route/path that we take each and every day set from the very day we were born to this Earth? Is there no way to change this path? The decisions we make...will it lead back to the same fated path? Everything that happens to each and every being; is it fated? What is fate? Is there a way to change our lifes if it is really fated? These are some of the many questions I ponder every now and then.

I believe that each and every on of us is born to this world for a reason and a meaning. Each person's life has its own meaning. It is just the way of life. However, why do some people get to live life better and others don't? This is where Karma comes in. The way of cause and effect. I believe in the past live. And I believe our past live actually gives and impact to the things that are happening in the present life.

Lets take for example a human relationship. I believe that all the people that is around us, all the people whom we have crossed path with are somewhat related to us in our previous life. They could've been a friend, an aquitance, maybe even your brother, or sister, or parents or aunt or uncle and the list goes on. Do you think it's that simple to get to know someone? I believe this is what we call fate. We are fated to meet...destined to meet and be friends. I mean, think about it...out of the millions and millions of people in this world, that person has to be your friend...or best friend...or husband/wife... Doesn't this makes you ponder? Is it really fate? So does this mean our life has been set? Hmmmmmm...

Oh well...it's 12.16am. I might just be babbling on about some stuffs that does not make that much of a sense. But this is definitely something that is worth to ponder... =)

Hong Kong Disneyland

Hong Kong Disneyland...Went there on the first weekend after the grand opening. I was expecting to see like tons of people but I was surprise that there aren't that many people. We booked the tickets online, so what we did was just swiped the credit card and got the tickets. There were no queue going into the park.

So, the first park that you go to after you enter the main entrance is the Main Street of USA. The street is where you will find a whole bunch of stores that sells all the Disney merchandize. We went in, coz I just need to check if they have piglet stuffs. Coz you don't get to buy piglet stuffs in Malaysia...(sad huh). Anyway, the moment we got in, I saw Donald, Goofy, Pluto and the chipmunks there...But the queue to take picture with them was rather long, so we decided to go walk around first, then only find them and go take pictures with them.

As you stroll through Main Street, you'll be able to have a great view of the sleeping beauty castle. However, it was really hot in the morning...After Main Street, turn left and guess what, you're in Adventureland. Adventureland is where you'll get all the Lion King, Tarzan kinda atmosphere. The first thing we did in Adventureland is went to see the Lion King show. It was awesome. I mean all the cast was singing life...the dancers were great...so it was like a great show. After the show, it was the Tarzan's house. That was...hmmm...not that much of fun. It's like going up the tree house and coming down. That's all. After that, it was a boat ride through the river. That was pretty interesting. I choose the boat which is supposedly for with an English speaking tour person. Sad enough, his English wasn't all that clear, but it's still fine I guess. The boat ride was not a bad one. After that, we just strolled down Adventureland!

After that, it's Fantasyland. MY MANY ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH IS THERE! hehehehe...well, there were no life size piglet, so it was kind of a disappointing one. Anyway, we had lunch first before going around Fantasyland. First, we went on the caraousole...then it rained. SIGH...rained heavily. So we went over to the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride. It was just a normal kiddy ride...but it's fun to see how nice the whole inside of that place was like. It was really pretty. OHHH! before that, we went to the 3D show with Donald in it. It was really cute! and REALLY FUNNY! hehehhe...I love donald. Then there's this other show about the Golden mickey Award show...which was great as well.

After that it was Tomorrowland. The Space Mountain was a great ride. It's a roller coaster kind of ride. It's like, great. And the buzzlightyear...well...it's was just alright I guess. Then dinner...then we wait for the final finale. The FIREWORKS. It was awesome. Very very nice. It's nothing fancy, just normal fireworks, but with the music and everything, it was great.

Overall, Hong Kong Disneyland is great. I would have to say, there isn't that really MAGICAL feeling to me...but if you happen to be in Hong Kong, it would be worth going. It's a small park and one day is more than enough. It's not as bad as what some people perceive to be. Well...it's alright!
