Good Karma

Today, I was scheduled to collect my new laptop from the office at 4pm. Will be saying goodbye to the slim, sleek HP laptop, and hello to a faster, better, and significantly heavier thinkpad. A little disappointed, as I have already used the thinkpad for the past 2 years, and thought I will finally get away from it. Guess who has the last laugh!

Anyway, left Comtech at 3pm to make my way to Shenton Way. It was pouring, with a capital P. Made my way to the taxi stand, and there was at least 10 people there. Waited for about 10 min, and there was no cab coming in. Called the taxi hotline, and after 15 min, still no cab took my ticket. It was almost 3.30pm, so I started to walk to somewhere where I may have a better chance of getting a taxi. (Not that I know where to get a taxi, but I know standing where I was WILL NOT get me one in time) (Sounds very similar to my career. Not sure what my career path will be like, but I know where I was IS NOT what I want.)

Anyway, saw a few empty cabs along the way, but they are all going to one location. I think there must be a taxi queue there, so went in that direction to take a look. As I passed the carpark, I asked a man whether if he knows where to get a taxi. He pointed to the direction I was heading, and added that there is a long line of people waiting. I was thinking to myself that I'm not going to make it, when he asked, where I am going. He then told me that he is going in that direction, and if I want to hitch a ride! Of cuz I was more than happy to hitch a ride!

On the car, we chatted a little, and he is very friendly. We chatted like old friends. We seemed to share an affinity with each other. Or maybe because he's an easy-going guy. In the end, instead of dropping me off along the way, he actually dropped me at my office! I couldn't thank him enough, and offered to exchange contacts so that I can buy him a drink next time. He declined, saying that it was an easy thing for him to do, and to think nothing of it.

There's not much thing I can do, so I just hope that some good karma will happen to him. Will be checking the 4D results this weekend, and hope his car number will strike first prize! I'm not buying his number, as I believe that the good karma should happen to him only, and if I buy it, I will jinxed the number.

Anyway, whether if strike or not, hope this new friend of mine will have good health and fortune for the year ahead!

Thanks, Steven! =)
