The BMW screeched to a halt. It reversed. Then changed its mind. It pulled to the side of the road instead. Out came a tall, good looking guy. He threw a dashing smile at me. I stopped in my tracks.

He : You dont remember me, do you?

Me: Uh huh .. (I stared at his rugged features.. but cant quite place him) Im sorry.. im bad at remembering faces.

He : Lol! It's ok. Im Osot! Ur classmate in SKK.

Me : (My jaws dropped on the granite road. Osot!!! That prematurely balding kid at 12 and always last in class but eager to please everyone!!!) Omg! Omg! Omg! Is that really you?

He : (He burst out laughing.) Yeap! Thats me.

Me : (He spoke excellent English.. that coming fr a kid who dint even own a 20 word vocab and used to beg to copy my homework) Hey! How are you? What u doin here?

He : Came back for Songkran. Im with Singapore Airlines last 15 years! Was jus heading back when i saw u and i knew it was u!!!

Blah! Blah! Blah!s later.. we said goodbye.

Hmm... now would u even think of that!! Life's little surprises.
