The most unexpected thing happened today! Went for lunch with my colleagues today and they met up with an ex-colleague of theirs. When that ex-colleague came, I found her very familiar, but couldn't really exactly say where I've seen her.

My colleagues made introductions, but because they introduced her via her Chinese name, it didn't register in my head that I actually really knew her. So after looking at her for a while more, after listening to the way she speaks, after seeing her actions, I was pretty sure that I know her from somewhere. At that point in time, I was somewhat able to put a name to her face, so I decided to ask what primary school she was from and sure enough, she was someone I knew!

She too told me that I looked very familiar to her and that from the way I spoke English, she could tell that I was from RGPS. She was saying something to the extent that the way we girls from RGPS speak English is very distinguishable.

We then exchanged many of our primary school memories. What followed was more shocking and unexpected. The whole group of us were talking about birthdays and such, and she mentioned that her birthday falls on 25th May. Like, what a small world! Not only was I able to bump into a primary school friend in this manner, we even share the same birthday! I think for such things to happen is extremely rare.

Suat Ying, I'm so glad to have met you in such a unique manner!!!
