Bumped into your Friend, 2 Years Later!

Sometimes, life is funny.

You plan to have lunch at a nearby kopitiam, a place you've never been to, you just "go with the flow"

Someone was standing, holding a plate of kuih-muih. Someone who looked familiar.

Who is that? O yea, my old friend named T.

T looked calm when saw me. Then you know I was ordering food, thinking we could chit chat for a while.

I looked to the left, to the right, to the front, I couldn't see T. Did T leave? To avoid looking so awkward standing without sitting, I found a space and enjoyed my lunch.

"Hey! Let's join me." T came to my table 10 minutes later.

"I was looking for you yet I couldn't find you!"

T took my drinks, I took my food. We sat and chit chat.

You know what?

1. That fella takes the witty skill to another level

T is famous for making jokes using fact and non-fact.

Although we didn't meet for 26 months, there's no akward moment during the 30 minutes.

2. No hard feeling when talking

We don't take thing personally. Example

"Whoa, it has been more than 2 years since last met"

"It is? I didn't notice it" I responded

To avoid awkward silent again, I continued

"It's OK! Next time we can have lunch here again"

"No need, thanks" I was rejected. Both of us laughed together haha

I took the 1st step to approach my old friend. I didn't think much about whether my friend will pretend to not recognize me or will come to talk with me.

I know, in the end, friendship comes once in a life time. Let's treasure it.

Lastly, a second ago, I recalled, T was the one motivated me in a different way the last time we met 2 years ago.

Here it is....conversation took place 2 years ago!

"I couldn't do that. It's so embarrassing on what people will think "

"What are you worrying? Everyone has embarrassing moment before. I am sure you experienced the worst before"

Kind of true! Haha

"She said Yes!"

"Girlfriend..." Did I hear the GF word? Does he have a gf? "Well, I wasn't plan to share but yeh. You know how did we meet?" Jon talked in a serious tone. "Sure! I mean really? Girlfriend?" I was looking straight into my sister's eyes. "I was driving and saw a girl fell down in the middle of the road. I got her contact and the rest is history." He was reminiscing the past. Few years down the road, he proposed in May 2024 and she said Yes! When both of them share strong family value, that strengthen the relationship. They love their big families. Jon booked 2 villas for the family to witness this important day! We felt so touched, blessed because that was the very 1st time our big family had vacation out of hometown! Guess what, here's what we learn 1. "Everyone contributes different skills in this team" Jon said -Some are good in event planning, decorating, eating, having fun, taking care kids. Each uniqueness lead to h...

"You Gotta Have Hobby"

"You gotta have hobby" was the answer from my buddy. Whenever I saw his story on his enjoyment in sport, family & career, I was so curious on .. How did he able to maintain youthful, no stress look by balancing every aspect of his life. One day, I gathered the courage to seek his life value. Yes, hobby was the one keeps him going. This is not the end. He continued "When you like something, you take good care of the things and appreciate it" For days I was wondering what will be my hobby..I guess for now, I found 1: writing blog. Thanks mate!

"Miza Dah Nak Kahwin!"

"Bila-bila Minggu ini kita jumpa ok?nak pass wedding card" Finally, 3 of us jumpa 2 days ago di tempat makan dekat ngan rumah Miza. So sweet that 3 of us kenal masa MBA. Weekend kita tak g shopping mall. Kita g buat assignment, makan, chit chat. Guess what, 2 of them kahwin tahun ini, and both are cancerians. Learn so much from them other than laughing & eating 1. Kebarong Rupanya selain batik, kebaya, baju kurung, ada yang nice call kebarong. Masih fikir apa yang mahu pakai masa wedding Miza. 2. Biasanya kita tanya warna pakaian Host supaya tak clash Liza tanya " warna apa your family pakai" Miza jawap"blue" I thought asking mean we need wear matching, rupanya meaning we wear different than blue. New thing for me. 3. It's nice hang out weekdays More parking, less traffic jam, less crowded Boleh relax relax dan sembang. Thanks sudi jumpa walaopun both dah kahwin ya
