[It's a small world after all....] Last year, in the months of June and July, several freshmen contacted me to clear some doubts regarding the system in NUS/SoC. Most of them got my contact from HardwareZone, where I posted replies in some threads in the University forum. I didn't mind, always glad to help out, since I remember how lost and overwhelming it can be, having spent 2-years living the military life and now having to switch your mindset back to the normal, compatible-with-society mode. In the first tutorial of one of my level-3 modules this semester, I heard a name which I thought belonged to one of the freshmen whom I talked to. I was occupied with some matters right then, so I didn't read too much into it. Last week, the final presentation team presented their case study. I saw "the name" on the slides, and I was sure it was the same freshman I talked to almost 8-months ago. He had no idea who I was (in real life), and I recognised him only because I put his MSN nick and email together. His friends called him using his MSN nick (which was a regular English name), while his name on the slide was his real name, which he used in his email. I didn't approach him to introduce myself or anything. We might meet again next semester, who knows? It'd be an interesting ice-breaker for next time. This just reminds me of all the "small world, eh?" incidents I've encounter over the years: And the list goes on. You're probably confused or skipped the entire chunk. Don't blame you...I didn't really expect anyone else to understand the complex relationships I mentioned above. To add on, my cousin is joining me in SoC next academic year. My sister is slanted to join the Science Faculty, which is next to SoC and students from both faculties share a canteen. But hell, SoC might be moving, so I wouldn't know if I'd bump into her a lot next semester. We'll see. ^^^ by Locksley @ 2:23 PM.

I agreed with you. My ex-housemate's elder brother and my elder brother was actually housemates during their overseas studies days!!! We did not find out until our flight day about a month ago where both our family saw each other...lol. Think I will write about this on my blog as well when I am free and have nothing to write...lol
