It’s A Small World
Friend: Wah. Small World. My colleague said that guy in the other group to Chiang Mai trip is her bro in law!
A few minutes later.
Friend: I some more say he is lan si!
Hahahah!
Coincidence? Well, it’s really a small world out there.
My sis’ schoolmate bad mouthed about her (my sis) to one of her work colleagues whom she just met. She didn’t know that the work colleague, is my brother. Lol!
I once dated a guy who just broke up with his girlfriend of seven years and while he was telling me all his soppy stories, he showed me picture of his ex. She happened to be my classmate and I told him quite casually that she just borrowed my notes yesterday and I hoped she would returned it.
The nasty looking lady (yes, attitude equally nasty, too!) running one of the many Chinese medicinal shops in my neighbourhood happened to be aunt to the nasty looking colleague (yeah, she’s quite a bitch as well) in my office. I didn’t know nastiness is genetical? No prize for guessing I am NEVER a patron in her shop.
I met a guy from Port Dickson and he happened to be the brother of Ann’s school mate who used to tease her incessantly in school.
I made some friends from Bahau during Interact Club yesteryears and I got to know another friend some 15 years later, from the same school whom I haven’t met at all. Both of us knew the guy who died in a car crash at tender age.
I met Datin three years ago on the internet and he happened to be classmate of my internet friend, Vincent who studied in Coventry, and they haven’t met for more than 10 years till we hooked up when Vincent made a short trip back from Hong Kong.
Carol was one of Datin’s client when he was still with the company selling advertorial pictures.
There was this very, very good looking guy who worked in the same office building as I was. The girls used to swoon over him whenever he walked past us during lunch time. Two years later, he dropped by my office, seeking for some corporate advice and ended up as my client. And, Datin used to hang out at his video store in Hartamas and rented DVDs from him! Menggatal lah, Datin! Lol!
Bee Stung Lips, Chris, Sam and I met at Bar Fly. Bee Stung Lips happened to give tuition to Chris’ sister some 10 years ago and they haven’t seen each other since, and had a surprise reunion at Bar Fly.
Bee Stung Lips hangs out with a group of very pretty ah lians and one of them is my beautician and also my sister’s ex classmate. Lol.
A friend happened to interview another friend’s new boyfriend at his office and he didn’t get the job.. and I got to know that as well. *Cringe*
Jokes aside, I did meet some common friends in funeral before – of totally not connected friends. You will never know. It’s really creepy. So, be careful with who you bitch about to. It would be some day, somehow, you would be surprised and hope the earth would open up and swallow you alive!
