Will I actually be seeing her later?
How can I be so sure that I would actually be seeing her later. Or seeing anyone at all for that matter?
How could I tell anyone that I’ll see them later? Was I really sure that I’d make it? How could I be so sure I’d live for the next minute?
See you later is a promise. Almost subjective , but it has an exact number to it, C.
Lim tc = c = later
See you later is a promise. Of it being later than now (t = 0). But it will happen. Will take place.
See you someday is vague. Is infinity. Has no certainty. And it’s almost like a lie.
Lim tc = ∞, t = time, c = someday.
Do you get my drift? Can u see where am I heading?
It means you can die anytime. It means your words can only mean as it is when it happens. It means nothing is for sure. It means u can never be too sure.
but then, at times later could mean someday and that makes it as vague as forever. the infinity within the time frame.
So, I see you when I see you?
nah. i still gonna try to see you later. coz that is my promise.

when i read this, 2 things came to my mind:
1. remember when we were driving towards the south (tp kena pusing 2 kali), you said, you always know what you want at that very end. you may get distracted along the way, but you will get there either way.. (just like our journey hari tu gak lah)..
2. yes, you could die any minute. and i had my SUB to remind me about it today. but it was work related.. and everything about (people's) death, reminds me of my dad.
as i write this, another thing comes to mind.
3. it's ok to say that.. to make a promise because you know you will try everything in your means to keep that promise. but if the Greater Power decides you should/would not keep that promise, there's nothing you can do about it. That's why we say, insyaAllah.. if God permits. Which a lot of people misunderstand that point. InsyaAllah is a promise, to the other person and to God.
Sorry beb.. membebel at midnight.
But I think for quite some time with us is "See you when I see you" kan? We always see each other when we're both on our ways to some other places.
ki : yup. i still know where am i heading. (tp relevant ke dgn topik i ni? :D).
2. death? time is really short huh. even if u live 100 years, life is still short. coz everyday you'd ponder if u r lucky to see tomorrow.
ina: ha ah. we have always been 'see u when i see u'. a non-committal statement. haha. hence we'd talk and share more miseries/excitements all the time. it's OUR quality time. :D
Fuyoo lama tak lalu sini makin gila bapak ganas entry lu.. bermetafizik lagi.. cayalah lu brainer!
Bagus lar lu beb.. Nabi saw pesan tiap2 hari atleast sekali kita kena ingat pasal mati.
Dlm kes lu dan kes2 lain yg sewaktu dgnnya gua rasa itulah sebab kena kata Insha-Allah kan? Cam bila sebut insha-Allah kita akan rasa lebih komited (walaupun tau mati akan dtg bila2 masa) dan kena usaha utk "see u later" tu jadi realiti.
Btw blated bday wish utk member lu tu :)
