my ambivalent attitude

Saturday, November 18, 2006

Was it just mere coincidence or was it a greater force of fate working behind the scenes to bridge the social circles of mine and the friends around me? What was originally a table tennis outing of 5 people (BY, Gary, Teddy, Jeffrey and me) spawned into an inadvertent bumping into mutual friends (tS and WJ) at the food court in North Point. Under normal circumstances, the unplanned meeting would have been much appreciated and received but special conditions deem it the other way. Especially so when tS, Gary and me work in the same company and see one another almost everyday, coupled with tS's lament that his social life is increasingly dominated by people around BY and me. In fact, his outing with WJ today was his bid to break off from the "curse", so to speak, but his efforts apparently appeared to have gone down the drains. Perhaps this is what the physicists call Newton's third law of action and reaction forces, or rather a tweaked version whereby the energy rebounded with increased intensity. tS, I suggest you let nature take its course, staying at home today without sticking a hand into the matter might have been a wiser choice. Haha. Well, either that or, like me, make deliberate attempts to go against fate by cutting the meeting short of an extended kbox visit afterwards. Just kidding. Duh. I would have gladly joined in if not for some irreversible plans made beforehand.
