everything happens for a reason

for those who missed me (cough), i'm back!
my absence wasn't intentional.
but because i was feeling under the weather since Saturday,
had the whole Sunday lying helplessly in bed,
and spent my Monday coughing away (and still lying in bed).
only today, i'm in a much better state.
a lot better that i just came back from the shopping mall since 5pm!
how about that for painting the town red?
:D

while being sick, i had an epiphany.
noticed i get that a lot?
(laughs)
well, eventhough i hate being sick cause being sick would mean,
a) i look terrible (worse than my usual morning face)
b) i'm stuck at home (my activities are limited)
c) i had to refrain eating my all time favorite food & stock up on plain water (gag),

i realised that there is some good that come with all the bad things that happen (and being sick is just one of them)
let just say, things always happen for a reason.
i usually hold on to this just to comfort myself until i started seeing the 'reason' why it happened.
because sometimes it takes days, weeks or years but at times, it only takes a few hours maybe just a few minutes.
ok, a few example.
1) i was supposed to fly to KL from the 9th-12th this month, alone. but i rescheduled for a later trip at the end of the month. i fell sick on the 9th til 12th. if i have gotten on a plane that day, God knows what will happen to me. maybe i'd collapsed at LCCT, who knows?

2) i had a minor accident with a motorcycle 3 years back but was too scared to tell my dad, i drove around town with a dented car. on my way home (finally), i gave way to a familiar face driving a familiar car. turned out, he's the guy i've been crushing on like FOREVER (at that time) & he was looking oh so tasteful, i kept replaying the moment our eyes met that when my dad finally found out about the car, i still manage to smile despite the punishment i had to go through.

3) my sis & i were to fly from KL to KCH (also 3 years ago) and guess what? i'm the only one out without a seat. technical glitch they said but whatever. so i had to stay behind & waited for the next flight while my sis flew alone (our luggage were already aboard so one of us had to fly first). the silver lining in this story? our car broke down in the middle of the road. if it wasn't for me who arrived much later with two taxis, my whole family would have been stranded much longer at the side of the road.

there's actually more but u should get my point by now, right?
so now, i always try not to complain & question God why such thing happened & why me?
because there must be a reason it happen & the reason might actually be worth it.
