homemade blues

2 things happened last Thursday and Friday that just amazed me how extraordinarily small our world is - when you get about to exploring it...

1stly, on Thu I found out that my DESK-mate in the translation course I've been in, was my ex-schoolmate's younger sister! How amazing! I mean, I did initially notice that her father's name sounded vaguely familiar, but I didn't even think to ask her about it. And in the process of getting to know each other in the first few days, I mentioned my school, and voila! The rest is history...

2ndly, on Friday night, when I checked my FB requests, I received a friend request from someone I didn't know. The name was foreign to me, and I almost clicked on the "Ignore" button, but I decided to check out her profile. It took me a moment to re conciliate her picture and her name, but when I did, I gave a loud squeal that even took G by surprise.

It was an old, old, friend - my pet sister, actually (G already started thinking dirty thoughts) - from school. She was my senior by 2 years, I think. Needless to say, a whole lotta memories came flooding back, as well. I lost all contact with her when she left school. So that makes it (mentally calculating) about 21 years ago? Wow! And to think we re connected in FB. Well, it's hardly unbelievable, but it's truly amazing. Well, to me, at least.

She's been in Australia a little more than a decade. And it so happens that she's coming back to Malaysia the first 2 weeks of Aug. "We must meet!" she typed, while we chatted in FB. Another reunion in the works. It's going to be busy, busy, busy...
