The third installment of my blast from the past (read the other two entries if from here on out you have ABSOLUTELY no idea what i am talking about), after a long time of nothing happening brings you:
OLD TIES
okay, my creativity on how to title stuff just went out of the window. So here's what happened:
A couple of days back after a stint of playing FLYFF, i noticed that i had new mail courtesy of the gmail notifier running in my system tray. one of the few new items in my inbox was (yet) another notification of a friend adding me on Facebook. This friend's an old high school friend from Brentwood, so no worries in wondering who it was. So without hesitation i logged onto my personal Facebook profile to confirm that Jess Choong was indeed someone i knew. Just out of curiousity i clicked on a link that indicated that she and I had 5 friends in common.
Of the 5 faces displayed there i recognised all of them, no mistake there. However only 2 of the 5 caused me even more surprise. Care to guess? Bah... i'll just say. It happened to be Lim Pi Xie and Susan Chia! Honestly, I don't know what to make of this except to say, it's not even 6 degrees of seperation any more. The world isn't as big as I thought it was. What's more is that a portion of my past has been brought to the present, much like the Time Spiral theme from Magic the Gathering series (if you don't get the reference, then dont try. it's a geek / nerd thing)...
lastly all i have to say is.... WOW. I never thought this sort of thing would ever happen in my life, but clearly, a couple of days ago-heck- even from two months ago i was proven wrong. People you've met at some stage of your life that you haven't seen for what seemed like a lifetime to come back.
Lives intersect, no journey is made where a path doesn't cross with another. Divergent paths alwasy reconverge. Somewhere down the line, in each journey at different speeds...
...we meet again...
