There's no such thing as coincidence...It is just God doing things & decides to remain anonymous...that's the thing that we conveniently term as "coincidence". Indeed! Bcoz what happened today is one of those God's doing. He does His magic in the most unthinkable ways and He remains anonymous afterwards. Check this out!
I wrote abt Johnny 3 days ago. I thought about him and our friendship all these years (since 1991)...from the time he was a playful boy who only thinks about playing "hantam bola" in school...to a fine gentleman who gets his heart broken time & again! Not bcoz he's worthless (excuse me!)...but bcoz he's too damn nice *sigh*!!
I came back to office today after a 2-day course @ Civil Service College (IPAM). It was a dreadful beginning (everyday @ work is dreadful since the last 2 years anyway, so today is no different!). I walked in office, like normal, just mind my own business, on my PC, put my headphone on, blast my MP3 & get started with work. Barely half-an-hour into work, my hp rang...it was Nikky. She was asking where am I, am I in offie & she started telling me she can't find my office at the end of the departure hall. Guess where is she? Terminal 1 (my office is in Terminal 2!). So ok, that's so expected of her...hehe...so anyways, she was in T1 to send her uncle off... she was wif her family. So I told her to come over to T2 so we can meet up a while if she's not in a hurry.
Carried on wif work. Half-an-hour later, I got another call, this time from a guy...looking for Madhuri!!! Guess who? Johnny! He asked me the same qn (where r u, etc etc)...so I told him I can't disappear from office for too long by going to T1, so I told him to take the skytrain & come over to T2 so we can meet up for a short while. 10 mins later, Nikky, Johnny, their mom (Siba auntie) & Chotu (the baby Siba auntie babysits who's become like their lil baby sister now!) was just next to my office. The moment I saw Johnny..there's this feeling of "u were just on my mind 3 days ago & now u're (finally!) in front of my eyes!!" We had great fun, yakking...just walking from my office to the other end of T2 (to the skytrain for them to go back to T1 coz Johnny parked @ T1)...brought them to the carpark to show my car's new look LIVE. All in all, we spent a wonderful half-an-hour together! Unplanned. Undreamt.
The stupidest thing out of all this was...in an era of everyone owning a camera-phone...no one even thought of snapping a photo!!! (Ya ya Nikky, bet right now u're going "oh ya ah!! damn silly!") But anyways, a picture remains in my heart. Permanently, so who cares...but a waste la really..esp when Johnny was looking good just now! Oh talk of photos, I shld give some credit to Johnny. He doesn't look like in that pic anymore.
That's was like 6 yrs ago! Now he somewhat looks like this. Perhaps btr in person, coz unless his left profile is taken, he's not photogenic (sorry John, honesty is my best policy! I'm not photogenic either...I know...so u don't have to tell me that...hehehehe...)
So when I decide to be good & rid all the ill-feelings...start to look at things in a better light so I can appreciate a person's good side instead of fretting & harping over his not-so-good side...God instantly rewarded me in the most unthinkable but pleasant way! I think, all this while opportunity never arise for Johnny & I to really meet up & catch up with each other bcoz...oh well, guess, I juz wasn't deserving of it...yet. Truly.

Thks Anishar! I now have the best compliment ever received from someone...so next time when I do my funny surveys 2 post on bulletins, I can quote what u wrote up there when the qn asks: "what's the best compliment u ever received?".
I'm honoured 2 hav inspired an artist (high-inclination for ART). Wow! Scripts!? Cool..go ahead. I'd always loved to do that too (1 of my dream is to produce a hindi movie..joint-venture wif Nikky..hehe..long story, will share another time!), but bcoz I'm not equipped with adequate knowledge 2 go abt doing it, I shall let the experts like u fulfill it on my behalf. Go ahead! Wish u all the luck! :) I'll stick to writing...maybe a book 1 day? Insyallah. :)
