Perfect Strangers

they are people that u don't know,
people that u have met just once,
and u probably won't meet them again,
they are just the passengers in ur life,
perhaps just mere dots in ur galaxy of life,
but they leave some kind of memory that u probably will remember for the rest of ur life...

yes, they are just strangers in ur life,
and they came to fit into ur life at that perfect moment,
i call them 'perfect strangers'...

i was having dinner in a vege restaurant wif my sis n a fren yesterday.
it was a small cozy cafe that could accomodate probably less than 30 people.
there was a big group of family celebrating their kid's (they'r twins) one-year-old birthday.
there were so many kids in the family n its an elating n warm feeling to see them running, screaming, crying n at times smiling n laughing... its a scene that iv always been fantasizing...

it was such a coincidence that one of the twins actually had the same name as mine, and i could not stop myself from shooting photos with her... the lovely mum even cut 3 slices of the birthday cake for 3 of us... (p/s: i might not know u n neither u did, but u touched my heart, thank u)

then i recalled another encounter with another stranger in my life...
he's a sales executive that had won the top sales for his company for 3 consecutive years.
i would not elaborate further here but i really learned an important lesson in my life...
"how far u can grow depends on how far u can go",
"there's no best thing on earth, there's only better thing",
"never let yourself to have any chance to be lonely or empty, life is too short"
"don't feel guilty for wat u want in life, because u deserve it"
n etc n etc...

these were simple theories but its an irony to let a stranger to remind u,
and it was only then that i realised that iv been 'torturing' myself,
we should really love ourselves more...
that nite i had perhaps the soundest sleep for the past few months...
(p/s: i might not understand u well n neither u did, but ur words mean a lot, thank u)

there's another incidence few years back when i first started to drive on road...
it was an uneventful nite in which i was driving alone...
then there was this car tailing my car on my way home...
thinking of the possible danger to myself,
i sped along the road but the car seemed to follow my speed as well...

i thought it was a relief that finally i reached my parking bay n prepared to board down...
it was to my terror that i realised,
from my rear mirror, that the car was there!!!
oh gosh, should i get down??
there's no time for me to think so,
the guy was standing next to my window...
it's too late...

gasping for air n holding my breath,
i opened my car door as he did not seem to have any noxious intention...
"miss, did u realise that u have been switching on the 'high-light' of ur car?? n its glaring!!!"
i broke into laughters recalling my paranoid idea towards such a kind stranger...
n he taught me about the lights in my car so that i would use them appropriately next time...
then i realised that his wife was waiting for him in their car....
what a lovely couple...
(p/s: i might be just another ignorant road user that u could probably ignore, but u chose to teach me a lesson, thank u)

all in all, im not saying that we should trust or be-friend strangers easily,
but some passengers in our lives are worth to remember...

*deparing to kl soon, to start off a new sem,
wat a heavy feeling, again...*

*may everything goes well ahead*
