Affinity of chance meeting

We have just got back from my mother-in-law's 89th birthday dinner at Overseas Restaurant in Ipoh.

At the restaurant, I was expecting my son to call from London but instead of me, he called SP instead and because of the noisy chatter, she didn't know it. But his good friend who happened to be in the same place, saw her and texted him about it. He called Seng to tell her to take his call!

Few months ago, I had this wish to be able to call a friend upon seeing him or her from a distance. Sure enough, when Nee was back in August, I drove her to Maybank, Bangsar to re-activate her ATM card. While waiting in the car for her I looked towards McDonald and saw a lady walking past the shop. I thought she looked like my former classmate whom I have not met for at least 20 years! We have been in contact through emails and occasionally by phone only. I thought I could recognise the way she walks! As the chances were so remote I did not call her mobile number there and then. A few hours later, I could not resist but texted her and to my surprise, she replied 'yes' it was her! I missed the chance of seeing someone answering my call from a distance! I am also fascinated by the coincidence as in 'yau yin' or affinity of chance meeting. She happened to be my matchmaker which made it more to do with destiny of fate. I wonder what went through her mind when she discovered she was being watched!
