Chance Meeting

How strange life is sometimes... It's the peculiar events that sometimes bring excitement to life.

I had the opportunity to meet two new friends last weekend. They were introduced by another friend whom I met through a good friend. The strange (and wonderful) thing is we all just clicked after meeting one another.

These two new friends are on their vacation and stopped by Penang and TH had asked SS to ask me if I could maybe bring them out for some local tastes. It's just coincidence that they came on a Deepavali weekend and I had some free time to show them some sights of Penang.

We had a grand time going to some places even I haven't been before. The Thai temple at Pulau Tikus with the grand looking gold Buddha image and very nicely done archway. The Spice Garden - I had stopped by many times but had never went in and walked around. The newly open Hard Rock Hotel - well, it's new.

And they loved the Chicken Rice Shop! For the weekend, we went there two times!

It was just a chance meeting... But what great chance it was!

You like him, He likes you

But why did nothing happened?

Sometimes people are strange. We reacted when we didn't need to and didn't when we needed to. We talked when we have nothing to say and kept silent when we should have talked.

Sometimes just a few words could change our whole lives. And yet, the words did not come.

Why do we complicate our lives?

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Surprisingly, I'm enjoying the movie. Hawaii is looking real good. I have always wanted to go to Hawaii ever since I was a little kid watching Fantasy Island on tv. The sights are just so so beautiful.

My favorite part from the movie was when they just jumped off the cliff into the ocean - in a very spontaneous manner. What a thrill!

The thing I love most about movies like these is that the ending is always good. Downtrodden people will always find their strengths and opportunities, and turned out the better for having gone through a bad patch. Totally feel-good! And the world could always use a feel-good moment anytime...
