After my appointment with my eye specialist yesterday, my sister and I went shopping at Far East and Heeren. Nothing very interesting about shopping in Singapore as usual, so I'm not going to talk about that. I wanted to drop by Kino to pick up the latest tankoubon of Nana, and as I was scanning one of the shelves in the Japanese-language manga section, I happened to look up and who did I see looking at manga on the opposite side of the shelf? QH, back from Japan! Shilei was with him as well, and we talked for a short while about club matters (now I know what SOY he was talking about...) and their trip to Japan with half of the active committee of the Anime Club. They also gave me a parting "gift" - the long-lost spongey orange bow Shilei's friend Yuanie made for the club's sailor uniform costume one and a half years ago... Now why am I becoming the repository of these odds and ends of the club...? >__<;
It's really amazing to think how these coincidental meetings can happen when there are so many people moving about all over Singapore at any point in time in a day. Singapore isn't a very large place, but it still is a city with 4 million people flowing in and out of its MRT trains and shopping malls. And you can just look up from a shelf of manga in the middle of a large bookstore to find your friend standing right opposite you.
A totally unexpected meeting that made an otherwise nondescript day a little more significant for me.
