A Pleasant Surprise
How often
do you get surprises on a plain normal day? I am not referring to the surprises
from your loved ones here.
Due to some
restructuring, I need to undergo a lot of trainings for my new jobscope which I
am very grateful for. Anyway, that is beside the point. Since there was a
lesson this morning till late evening, I tried to use the precious 30 minutes
before my lesson to finish my tasks. Imagine how tired and blanked out (on top
of the previous late night chats with some friends) I was when I finally managed
to rush out for my lesson. Then, I nearly bumped into the man who just stepped
out of another lift. Before I was about to apologise to him, I stared at him for
a few seconds in silence because I thought that he looked so familiar. At that
point of time, I was still in my dreamy self. Nevertheless, I managed to ask
him skeptically, “Are you XXX?” He simply replied, “Ya, you don’t recognize me
after two years?” Hahahaha. After his reply confirmed my doubt, I started to
shout at him excitedly even though there were quite a number of people there.
Basically,
he and I had been trying hard to fix a date to meet up for the past two years
but our schedules just did not permit us to do so.
Now, it
makes common sense why it was a pleasant surprise for me?
In fact,
another similar surprise occurred on last Friday evening but the impact wasn’t
as huge. Even so, both incidences made
me smile. I sound so silly, aren’t I? :p
