A Lucky Coincidence
Thursday, March 12th, 2009It has been quite sometimes that I stopped blogging. So, this time round, I would like to write about a weird incident that happened around me just yesterday. It made me really feel that, sometime, life is full of coincidence, just like what a recent movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button trying to tell us. Maybe there is really something known as fate.
I nearly lost a pair of new shoes that I bought during CNY yesterday. For unknown reason, it was taken away during my working hour but was later found in front of the house a floor below mine. I have no ideas why it ended at there. A logical guess might be that a naughty kid took it away but his/her parent put it back but at the wrong floor? Or was it someone (e.g. my admirer? :p) from that house trying to steal it? Whatever… It is not important, but what was full of coincidence was how I found out my shoes was there.
My housemates returned home in the evening before me. As usual, they would like to take lift up as our house is at 6th floor. But somehow, yesterday, someone peed in the lift and it was smelly. The other lift on the right was not coming down (this is how the lift system was programed here). So, they decided not to enter the lift and use the staircase. And, guess what? Along the way, they saw a familiar shoes in the 5th floor. After reaching our house, they checked and found that my shoes was missing. But, still, they couldn’t confirm that was my shoes. So, when I back, they asked me to go identify my shoes and… it was in fact mine…
If the someone hadn’t peed in the left lift; if the right lift was the one that reach the ground floor; if my housemates choose to bear the smell or if they were chatting without looking around, I guess I wouldn’t have found out that my shoes was missing until I need to wear again and it might have lost forever.
Thank you my housemates and also… the one who peed in the lift. :p
