It's a small small world

A few random incidents had me concluded that the world is this small after all, never mind the billions of people out there... and not to say the near 5 millions in Singapore, yet it still can be so tiny.

I have a "new" colleague, she's not that new now... but recently I got to know her a little better. Little did I know that she's the wife of my ex-colleague in my previous (x2) job. It happened that I worked with her husband before, we were in the same project and I was actually working closely with him then. Hahaha. But for now, I have not told him that I have met his wife, because it's going to be a surprise when we meet at Universal Studios tomorrow for the staff event.

This morning, I was speaking to a friend... You must have heard of Benjamin Mok, the cyclist who was knocked down and killed in a road accident, the news is everywhere. I caught it on television, but I didn't know or couldn't possibly imagine that this Ben actually is the same person that my friend was referring to all the while! It's alarming to comprehend the fact that someone close to you can suddenly leave you any moment! I don't know how I would feel if someone once so close to me is dead, even if I hated him so much... or worse if I loved him just as much. To the loved ones of Ben, my condolences.
