this is only half correct. It is already determined who your parent
are, who your sibling are since you are born. but what you are
going to eat today is decided by you and your environment. eg: you
went to beach road market today because you decide to have
tulang(pre-determine) but because the store is closed today
(environment) you ended up having yong tau foo...(which is equally
good in beach road market)
anyway there is a saying ...
一命, 二运, 三风水,四因德,五读书
Family we can't choose. But everything else is open. Anyways, you
are entitled to your opinion, just as I am to mine.
