A one in a milion stranger

I should have blogged about this quite some time ago but guess it’s not too late though. About a month’s back. I was having my lunch alone at macdonald when a young lady in her early thirties was looking for a seat. She turned and saw me from afar and I looked away. She walked towards me and asked if I mind sharing my table with her. I politely invited her to share my table (not food) and she was glad.

Seconds later, we started a conversation together, with her telling me that she is a Malaysian, working as a freelance accountant in sg and complained that she has been eating macdonald for weeks just to get the whole series of the coke cola glasses. I shared with her that I am there for the same reason but not for myself but to collect one for my sister. Then I boldly asked her if she has the glass in pink and she said she has only one but her friend might have extra. So we exchanged handphone numbers and chatted while having our lunch. She shared with me about her lifestyle and offer to bring me around Malaysia if I am interested to visit her country one day.

Then we talked about Kota Kinnabalu, etc till she invited me to her party with friends (all females only), some sort of rented apartment units near CK Tangs. One of her friends happen to be a staff of that estate/building and has special staff rates when renting the apartment. And what they do there is to hold some facial treatment sessions there, some light refreshments, and allow the ladies to use the condo’s facilities. The facial treatment they offer is only a flat rate of SGD15 bucks and they also have a skin analysis informal consultation. She extended her invitation to me and my friend. I replied that if I could make it on that day, I will come with my gal friend. Then we shook hands and I left. It was really a nice feeling to start a conversation with stranger, and to have hopefully start a new friendship from there.

Recently, just a few days ago she called, telling that there are still vacancies to their party if I am still interested. I told her I would reply her again through sms in the evening but I overlooked.

Today, I smsed her to inform that I couldn’t make it as it’s a father’s day weekend. But I asked if I could have the pink glass which I could offer a sum of $ as a token. She replied she has extra and could give it to me. We are still fixing a day to meet and this time, I would go with a little gift if she don’t accept my money. :)

There are good ppl around, and people like An Qi made me believe in that. Thank you….
