Hi, how are you?
Today's a not-so-ordinary Sunday to me. I met someone that I have not seen for ages, and I didn't recognise him, he was the one who came forward and said hello.
Can't believe that we met each other in a book store. I was in the English section of the book store, reading a novel titled 'How to fall in love', by Cecelia Ahern, while a guy was standing few steps away from me, with few pieces of books in hand. I stood in front of the book shelf for quite some time, and decided to buy the novel. As I was walking towards the payment counter, that guy blocked my way, and said, "Hi Liz, how are you?".
I smiled, and looked at him, trying to figure out who he is.
Is he one of my form six ex-classmates? Have I seen him anywhere before? What's his name? How does he know my name?
More and more questions were popping out in my mind, but I have no idea who he is. It's very embarrassing, but I still have the courage to ask, "I'm so sorry, who are you?"
He smiled back, and answered, "I'm the one who always make fun of you during grade 6. I was a transfer-student back then."
The mystery was solved! He's Albert! Wow, I haven't seen him in almost seven years time, and he looked so different now!
We paid for our books, and went to a coffee shop instead to continue our conversation.
We talked about those days when we used to be very noisy and childish. He still remembers that I taught him Chinese and Malay everyday after school. We did homework together, and sometime, I checked his homework after he was done.
"I'm starting my life next year, taking majors in both Chinese and English, hoping to become a translator in the future." That's what Albert said, and I never expect that. He used to hate studying languages so much, but in the end, he is doing it in Uni!
Seven years time, and look how we have changed. We are so different than before. We are in paths that we have never expected to be in. That's the challenge that everyone will have to go through. We pick things up along the way, and these determine who we are in the future. Today, you might have an ambition to become a doctor; In few years time, your ambition might change to engineer. This is pretty normal. When you get the chance to be exposed to things that you have never seen or experience before, you develop new interest. And this new interest, helps you to find your true self.
