Hmm... I've been having a lot of these addendum lately. Anyhow something happened on that unique day that I had last week that I did not put on record. I was actually looking at cell phone accessories for my new mobile while I was in Richmond Centre last week. I was only half-interested in the car charger at this cell phone accessories kiosk and was talking to the person who worked there. The price was ok, but I wasn't sure if I really need it. I didn't think much on this occurence at the time.My work days started and was having some really bad time at work. It's finally over thankfully. When I came back home, my parents had a guest who is an Indonesian. We introduced ourselves and apparently had the same first name and then talked a little bit. Unfortunately I was too tired and had to lie down on my bed. Somehow he looked familiar... Facebook? Photos? After he left, I told my mom that he looked familiar. It wasn't until she mentioned that he works at a cell phone store that I started to connect the dots... It's the same employee who I was talking too about the car charger last Thursday XD
Pardon the silly life story, but I'd like to keep some stories remembered. And I always love coincedences (if they exist). It was quite a unique day indeed!

By the way... Did anyone think back to this above scene in the first season of Haruhi Suzumiya when (or if) you watched Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody? After I first read Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, I thought about this scene and I was blown away! I was in awe at the amount of planning in advance. Safe to say that this is my favourite Haruhi Suzumiya story. ^^
my favorite epic word "my name is John Smith" I can't stop laughing when I think of it.
ReplyDeleteHeheh, that event is like a scene from an Asian teleserye (or something like that)
ReplyDelete@Yamada: LoL Good that you got hooked on that. It's a very epic phrase!
ReplyDelete@GunStray: Haha yeah, that sounds like it XD
"there are no coincidences, just the inevitable" ^^
ReplyDeleteNice story ^^ you got there. I happen to be an Indonesian too ^^
@Saku: THAT's the line I was looking for! Oh wow I find so many Indonesians with common interest since I've started blogging XD Masih ngerti Bahasanya?
ReplyDeleteHmm, now that you mentioned it, I remember. ^^;;
ReplyDeleteAnd I haven't had any interesting stories like that to tell...yet.
So are u friends with him now or is there some connection with him and ur family?
ReplyDelete@T.I.P.: Haha I watched the first season like 4-5 times, so some of it was ingrained in my head XD Really? No coincidental stories?
ReplyDelete@Optic: I didn't talk to him much since I was tired, but perhaps I'll drop by that kiosk again and get that car charger. My phone's battery actually died in the car ^^; For now he's a family friend that only my parents know through the Church.
haha, what are the odds?
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few interesting coincidences that I'd like to keep remembered as well. ^^
@Coco: There are so many coincidences in my life that I wonder how much of it was inevitable? ^^;
ReplyDeleteyeah, well, sharing this coincidence makes me think there are not coincidence at all..
ReplyDeleteeh... I'm pretty sure Harui hair band was yellow and not blue like the one that show in the picture right?
ReplyDeleteWow that was surprising...
ReplyDeleteThat is one heck of a coincidence...
Nice find on the reference, can't believe you actually remembered!
ReplyDeleteMind = Blown.
@phossil: Very philosophical there. I have another coincidence story that I'll share another time, a more unique one ^^;
ReplyDelete@LEon: This scene was before Haruhi stuck with her trademark yellow hairband. This was in the very beginning where she still changed hairstyle everyday.
@Rin: It wasn't as surprising when I first seen him in the house, but I was quite surprised after I found out where he worked XD
@nyoron: This episode is actually one of my favourite episodes from first season ^^ So I actually started to wonder if this meant anything.
ReplyDeleteI still think Kyon should have answered Haruhi's question about who he was not with 'John Smith' but with 'Smith... Agent Smith'. Oh wait... never mind.
ReplyDeleteAnd when are we finally getting to the chapter "The Truth about Suzumiya Haruhi" where Kyon turns into Kyonko?
@bluebluewave: Neo would not approve ^^;
ReplyDelete*Patiently waiting for canon KyonkoXHaruhi yuri*
@Lightning Sabre: LOL I was a huge fan of Card Captor Sakura when I just started watching anime so that line (by Kaho) is kinda stucked in my head.
ReplyDeleteMasih fasih berbahasa indonesia ^^
@Saku: I haven't watched Cardcaptor Sakura when Kaho appeared in long time so I forgot the quote. And yay another CCS fan! Clamp sure love those "coincidences" scenario XD
ReplyDeleteMasih bisa bicara Indonesia tapi kasar sekali XD
