Fate.

Its unseen impenetrable force over everything - it's creepy.

I've the habit of peering over to read someone else's papers/ magazines whenever in train. And today, surprisingly, a friendly 60+ year old uncle sitting next to me offered to share his Zaobao (and his comments) with me when he caught me reading what he was reading. No fellow commuter has ever offered to share what they are reading to me before. But somehow, I lost the interest to read his papers after his generous offer. I think I enjoy the peering more than the reading.

The uncle then even pointed out the article and shared his views on diving with me. But I didn't pay much attention. I was more interested in getting a wink before reaching office, so I patronised him with a smile and a nod and then quickly closed my eyes.

We saw him at ADEX. But apparently it seems that it was only me who saw him at ADEX. Don't really know him, as in know him as a friend. But he was Salesgirl-no-more's friend. And another good friend's ex-crush in sec school apparently.

A couple of weeks ago, I saw my favourite primary school form teacher's photo in papers. But it was at the section I didn't want to see. I was shocked for a moment. She was so young. I even pulled the papers out and showed it to my mom. She remembers her - the one who always gives the class times-table test.

Usually I don't read the papers in the morning before work. That day I did. Somehow. Even though I was really late for work. And for the rest of the day, I kept thinking about it.

And I'm still thinking about it.
