Serendipity

Was supposed to meet a friend for dinner, well... was supposed to meet two friends, one was sick so couldn't make it. Anyway the other friend was late.. I waited at the MRT station, her train came, I went in she came out. We missed each other. We called and decided I should wait at the next stop. So I did... I usually carry abook around with me to read on journeys... but not that day. I was going Salsa that night. I arrived at the next stop and sat down on the bench.

So I entertained myself on the phone playing some game when a guy said to me, "Nice shirt. Where did you get it from?" Now that was a gift from Rahul. So I told him it was a gift. Got it in US probably about USD30+. Frankly I dind';t know the price but that kind of price was possible for that Tommy Hilfiger shirt atthe factory outlets. I said its rather cheap and he commented otherwise. Well... to my defense, when you're earning in USD you spend in USD for a shirt like that 30+ is alright. Eventually we chatted about what I was doing in the US and what I was doing now. We exchanged numbers and then he called me later and brought up a possibility of a job offer.

Now how often does that happen? The chances of all the events happening for me to be there at that time wearing that shirt and all.. I wasn't even supposed ot be there and I wanted to wear the other shirt which well... isn't ironed yet. Anyway, probably will discuss more about that over coffee or something. Right now, my heart is halfway to Dubai already. Hope the thing with Michael really materialises.
