The weather's so beautiful today with cool comfortable breeze and warm morning sun. The missing pieces seem to fall into place and even as we enter the monsoon, I could see hear the birds chirping before they start on their migration journey.
The Other Urban Legend once told me we choose to see things we want to see. He even did a little test on me to prove his point. Either his theory is flawed or I didn't think that was important enough for me to take a second look. I came back to the office to pick up my phone charger yesterday. I usually live my weekends with fear that my battery might run out but since Germ has a charger which I could borrow, I'll still leave my charger in the office. It broke and I was on a "high call" weekend with Urban Legend Wifey. So as I was saying, I was waiting for an important email and it reads, "Mods Fund" or rather, that was the way I saw it. It was in my inbox and I did not see it AT ALL until this morning. I was either blind on Sunday or I had better things to do than to work. The latter would suffice as the explanation for now since I'm obviously not blind!
This morning had been filled with funny CVs. Unfortunately, Comedy Boss is away in Bangkok being asked to stay far away from his wife when she's shopping because as a "farang" aka Gweilo, he's bound to spoil the bargaining. Otherwise, we would be having a ball in here. Just for fun, one of the many interests the person wrote on her CV says that she would like to learn more about different champagnes and then to remember their names afterwards. WHAT? These sort of CVs are very risky and can go either way. If the candidate is lucky, the potential employer would appreciate her interest in champagne and might even bring her out to teach her a thing or two about champagnes. The others might just think she's a nut. On our part, we decide if the client is such a person but it would be very much taking a high risk punt. I remember mine said "Cars, Gadgets and Travel" and luckily enough, Comedy Boss loves cars as much as I do and here I am, in a job I absolutely love. Working with Comedy Boss is a pleasure that I can only wish and needless to say, it keeps me sane from the day to day insanity happening around me.
My buddies never fail to relate me to malfunctioning senses. My antennas are never in good working order or condition. Which also explains why I never assume things. What I am about to say might seem that it should not fall into the same paragraph but to me, it belongs to the same paragraph! Finding someone who can have a proper conversation may not seem like the most difficult thing in the world but to have someone who can have an intelligent conversation with you is not the easiest job on earth. When you know such a person exist, you will go on to explore if this is a merely superficial intellectual conversation you have with an acquaintance or the cute banker you've met at the bar last night and not think of getting lucky in any possible way. You know you have come across a barrel of good lager when you want to taste a little everyday yet you want this barrel of lager to last a lifetime. This lager is not merely smooth on the tongue but also tells you how the lager is different from the ale and other lagers. It teaches you how the yeast, temperature affect the fermentation process and hence, the quality of the lager. It's not just beer. It's amazing how delightful it is to not just meet your match but also someone who can hold your hand and guide you through the dark. This person seems to know all the nooks and crannies and you trust that you wouldn't fall into a huge crevice just because your surroundings are absent of any source of light. Of a sudden, the darkness disappears because there's a glimmer of light that we choose to see.
We've all heard that familiar expression, "Good things come to those who wait". Whether you're waiting for your Heinz ketchup to pour out onto your burger, waiting for Christmas day to open your gifts, good things will come if you simply allow them to come in their own time.
One day you might find your light and you will have ketchup with your quarter pounder.
