I'm notorious for being random. And there you go, I start off by saying something random. But that's the fact, isn't it? Ask my friends...
Speaking of friends, I was minding my own business at the park near my house this afternoon, and I got this sudden urge to call my friend, who's living in Laos. Since I didn't know her phone number, I asked my friends (who's also living in Laos but she didn't reply, so I asked another friend, who's in Malaysia). When I got my Laos friend's number, I called her for the first time after I left Japan, which was like a year ago. My heart was pounding hard against my ribs; what if I didn't have anything to say to her? What if there's a lot of akward silences? After all, her japanese is far better than me. And she knows little English.
Nonetheless, I called her and she sounded confused when she picked up the phone. Backed to being random, I didn't say to her who I was. As usual, I start off by saying things, like: "Hey How are you? Everything's fine, right? I heard you're going to Japan. You know, I always think of you. How we used to fight and all. I miss all that, you know?" It was like a few minutes after when she asked, "err may I know who's this?" kweng kweng kweng...
But when I told her who I was, she was like "Wah!! To what do I owe you this pleasure?" She was really happy that I called. Unfortunately, the phone line got lost and I could not get back to her (Darn you, phone services!!) Her last sentence was like: "Me? I'm doing my thesis righ.." My timing couldn't have been worse.
And that is the story of me being random. So what's your story?
