Weird Encounter

Hope all of you have a nice weekend.

I was shopping yesterday with a couple of friends at Mid Valley Mega Mall. It was really crowded and somehow I got a feeling that I'd meet someone there. A moment later, while I was at Carrefour, a guy came up and voiced ‘hello’. It was quite loud. I was quite sure he was calling me and I turned around.

“Yes?” I questioned him confusingly.

“You look very familiar” he replied with a grin.

Well, his grin made me smiled. People here are normally friendly in this country. For some seconds, I scanned my memory banks but was not able to recall anything resembling his face. He introduced himself as Jason L.

Seconds later, he asked me did I know someone by the name of Chin Wai from ABC company (one of my ex companies). Yes I told him and he told me he used to hang out with him a few years back. And he met me at one of the dinners. That got me very curious and embarrassed because I was really quite bad in remembering the faces, especially for someone who might just be a past acquaintance.

Maybe he sensed that I was really blurred.

“Hey man, nice to meet you. I’ll see you around okay. Do say hi to Chin Wai on my behalf if you see him. ”

I feel really embarrassed as it did not make me look good.

Immediately after he went, I sms'ed Chin Wai to see if he has a friend called Jason L. Seconds later, Chin Wai replied and said he couldn't recall of such person too! It feels spooky, isn't it? Or is this another psychic encounter?

However, I do admire this guy's courage because we people here are normally more reserved and I definitely don't have the courage to do that.
