Yesterday I met a guy in my dancing class, literally, he is a friend of a friend of a friend of Pat, friend to the power of 3.  Anyways, I didn&#8217;t pay much attention to him and we didn&#8217;t even introduce ourselves to each other.  Today, when I was in the cafeteria at work, I met this guy again.  It is kinda embrassed I couldn&#8217;t remember his name and have to peak his badage.  It turned out he just started in PMC last week!  What a small world, every people is inter-connected.  Since he is also from HK, our lunch group can use new blood as it is getting smaller and smaller.  I am going to drag him out this friday to have lunch with our group.  Somehow I have a feeling he will make a good friend with Jenny, because they are both devoted Protestants.  Sometimes I wonder, how many more this kind of people I will bump into again in course of my life?  We met some time again, and then met again in an totally unexpected way.  I guess it would be more odd if I somehow bump into a friend I have on the forums I hang out in real life.  The only question, we normally won&#8217;t tell people what website we visit, and the only identification there is a nickname not used in real world.  How do we know we already know each other?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is indeed a small world after all.
