The world seems to be getting smaller and smaller lately.
Bumped into and old friend last week. I was down in town for some work at a client’s office and when leaving I heard someone call my name. Turned around to see a familiar face; luckily I could still match this face to a name and I called her back looking very surprised. She’s actually my primary schoolmate!. Can you believe that? The last time I saw her was….. primary school and that’s like 16 years back! She actually remembered my name. I was wondering in my mind whether I did something awful to her that she still remembers me today. We exchanged contacts and I added her to my MSN.
So today I met up with her for dinner. Another coincidence is that she actually lives not too far off from my place. In actual fact, it’s just a few bus stops away therefore we met up some place convenient for the both of us. During dinner and coffee afterward we chatted quite a bit reminiscing about the past as well as catching up on each others lives. Talked about common friends from primary school with many ‘familiar’ names popping up here and there (I actually forgot most of them.. primary school was way way back). Then found out that we had some common friends out of primary school which I didn’t know until today as well.
All in all, had a really nice time catching up with this old friend of mine. So with this, I do think I should try to make some effort to contact some ‘lost’ friends. And I think that you should too…
