What a Small Small World

After Shen's eldest sister's wedding dinner, I went to meet up with my friends in Autocity. Since Dad's driving his car, I had him to drop me off at Swenson's. RoSeCS texted me to join him & his friends when i was at the wedding. I was kind of bored so I agreed. Over there, I met a friend of my friend, CN, who coincidently is also RoSeCS's friends. What a small small world.

As I was at the table, I was introduced to his group of friends, all from HSBM. Hill Side Black Monkey! (Highschool Bukit Mertajam, to be exact. It's an old family joke that I used to tease my Dad cause he was an ex-HSBMer too. Teeheehee~) Too many of his friends that night, I forgot some names. I smiled and shoke their hands, and joined their table. They were talking about some jokes on their band (they were from their school band team), and catching up on some of their long-lost bandmates, while I look around. I never been to Swenson's before. It's a new 3rd phase of Autocity's. Swenson's is specialized of ice-creams and deserts, but my stomach was too full of the previous dinner. I just asked for a glass of plain water instead.

Then CN asked me to look across another table and asked me whether do I know those girls because they seem to look familiar to her. She guessed they're from CBM (my Dad calls it Cute & Beautiful Maidens because pretty girls studies there in that school during his time, which I guess the reason he enrolled me there too~ wakakaka~ :D ) I looked over at that table and confirmed to her that those girls were 1 year my junior. Very smart girls. Prefects. JPA Scholarships. I knew those girls were looking at me too. Though I have slightly changed my apperance since secondary, there are still something familiar among all CBM girls that as if we know there was a connection somewhere. Then there was another group of people coming in. Me and the girls turned our head simultaneously towards them. There was one girl in the group. Another CBM girl. 2 years my junior, 1 year theirs. What a small small world.

I turned my attention back on my table again. They were talking about Form 6 in HSBM. It turned out all of us were actually in HSBM for at least one week. RoSeSC, CM, and I were there for 2 weeks before going to MMU, but we do not know each other yet at that time. I only know RoSeSC at my first year in MMU. So they were all very surprise to know I was "half"-HSBM too, but yet do not know me. Most probably because I was transferred from CBM to HSBM after Form5. They started to stated their Lower 6's classes, I was in 6PBE. Some of them, I think, were my classmates too, I'm not so sure. Silly, 2 weeks is not enough to know all your classmates. But still, what a small small world.

There's actually nothing significant in this post. Just appreciate the time being together with old friends while meeting the new ones, and discovering that they actually knew your other friends or your friend's friend from another friend. Like a network. What a small small world.
