On Sunday, Khloe and I chatted about how people meet for the first time (sorry for not remembering how I met you for the first time). I thought about how I came to meet Sharon for the first time… I traced back all the events that led me to meeting her… It totally blew my mind… We actually met through work. Some sort of outdoor sales thingy. What led me to take this job is that I wanted to try meeting strangers and to help fight my shyness. Through the job, I met her.
Today, after dinner, I continued thinking hard about the exact details… and here it is….
I started work on 5 Jan 07 (Friday) and I am pretty sure that Sharon joined the company shortly after that. I am guessing 8 Jan which is a Monday… That time, our supervisor, Bernard intro-ed me as “This is Enzo, he is 22 this year and he is not afraid of approaching people and closing sales.” That is how I and Sharon met… Pretty unromantic… So we worked as colleagues and stayed friends. She strikes me as an ice queen… No facial expression and utterly not interested in her work. LoL. During that time, my mind was not in the “gf finding” mode. So I am not interested in knowing more girls at that time. So just stayed neutral.
Soon, I left to pursue some other job that pays me a fixed salary and to experience abit of office culture. After that, we lost contact and in Dec 2007 when she sms “Merry Christmas” to me, fate came knocking. I don’t know what made me wanna meet her… I was not so into meeting people at that time.
Can’t exactly remember how I met her again… I know it was for movie… and I remember we had dinner at New York New York at AMK hub. That was when I actually get to know more about her. Her outlook in life and her drive attracts me.
So in the next few months, we started going out. I told myself that it’s not a date and I only treat her as a friend but I got scolded by Suhaili… “Wa lau, if a girl wants to keep meeting you that means she is interested in you la. So obvious!”
Looking back on the circumstances that led me to meet her… It’s pretty amazing… I think it should start with me choosing to go to a Polytechnic after my secondary school. There, I know my ex and somehow I got my knee injury indirectly coz of her. Coz of my injury, I got enlisted 2 months later. ORD in Dec 06, saw the ad in the papers, applied for that job. Got it. Chose to stay instead of leaving. Then along came Sharon. So imagine if I did not enlist by 2 months later, I won’t ORD in Dec 06, I will ORD in Oct 06 instead and found another job which I will never meet Sharon. Moving further back, if I never had the knee injury… If I choose to go to a Junior College which most of my classmates did. All these will never come to being.
Then of course if you wanna trace it further back to how my parents decide to have a child during that time, how my parents met…….. then that’s a different story… As Khloe says… can trace it all the way to dino age. LOL!!!
To put it simply, it’s fate! Short, simple and sweet!
