Serendipity denotes the property of making fortunate discoveries while looking for something unrelated, or the occurrence of such a discovery during such a search. (translated by wikipedia). This word remind me of the several things that happen to me years..and some recent;
1) About 2 years ago, i went to Bandung, Indonesia with my sister and her friend. One of the shopping spot is Pasar Baru where we can find cheap clothes with quite high quality. One of the shop gave us a pretty good deal. The owner was very frinedly and we spent alot at his shop. That night we went dinner at a restaurant called Warung Pasta. A very nice restaurant near college area. While enjoying our dinner, the shop owner walked into the restaurant with his family and said 'hi' to us. Serendipity?
2) Last December, i went to Dubai with my friends. One day, we took a train to a mall. I sat next to Philiphinos ladies. Both of them talk to each other and i was just sitting and observing (not too obvious but i just enjoy listening foreigner talking). Arriving at the mall and doing some shoping, it's a lunch time. I went to the food court. After observing the menu offered, i decided to have Middle-eastern lunch set. when i placed my order, i saw that 2 Philiphinos ladies on the train working the "kiosk" where i bought my lunch. Serendipity or coincidence?
My point is that they are just random people that we dont even think of meeting for second time but we did. if it is some kind of sign...i just dont get it....because i believe on coincidence. Maybe it is a way universe told us that "be nice to random ppl bacause one way or another,we might see them again.
