We certainly live in a small world! Just this morning i arrived at the bus stop early. I thought since the Warringah Mall bus is never on time, and being early - i'll go buy a travelten. That done, immediately as i set foot outside the newsagency the bus coasts by. The newsagency is only 15m away from the stop and i begun to wave my hands in an attempt to draw the driver's attention. Failing to do so, flabbergastered and rather uncertain what to do next i decided to walk a short distance to an alternate service.
On my way, a lady who witnessed the situation (and my dejected look :p) calls out after me. Offering a lift, my initial instinct was to politely decline and wait for the following alternate service however; there was an aura about this lady that changed my mind.
Approx 5'4, early 50's, sandy blonde and with a honest appeal about her i calculated that she'd be rather harmless. During the car trip, i enquired what she did as her living and she told me all about her occupation that involved life planning, spiritual, body states and forms of hypnosis! She seemed so happy and relaxed, i couldnt help but be curious as to what made her so....successful!
Arriving at the mall i offered to show her where the American Nail and beauty parlour was (her reason for visiting the mall). I mentioned that i worked at Myer, she chimed in that her daughter worked at Grace Bros... I then told her that i worked in the Menswear department and she told me that her daughter worked in Lords Formal hire! (for those that do not know, the formal hire centre is located in the heart of menswear).
I asked if her daughter's name was Kristy, she was rather stunned. Kristy and i have know each other for 1.5 years, had frequent breaks together. But have never met her mother! :)
Apparently, i have a face that is 'harmless and good natured'. I am relieved.
On top of that bizarre moment, as i was sms'ing kristy - i ran into her in the Medicare centre!! ??! As she lives away from her mother she had no idea about her where abouts.... coincidence? fate? - lol!
On top of that the other unusual event was seeing Stephanie's eyes after she had them examined by an eye specialist. Apparently she had some eye drops to aid the examination, which resulted in her eyes being the most dilated i have ever seen! Just like the eyes of cartoon animals in Disney classics 0_0
