coincidence

you know how you try to avoid some people because you really don't know what to say to them or just have nothing in common to talk about. so the other day i got a call from this one person that falls into that category and i pressed no on my cell phone. aiyoh. felt so terrible, but these things need to be done. then of course that person left a voicemail that i didn't listen to. and when i checked my email, i got two emails saying, hey are you still in AA? let's have lunch sometime. blah blah blah. but once again didn't reply. just pretend you aren't around anymore and maybe they'll forget you exist.

then, as (bad) luck would have it, the very next day i'm off to the gym and i see a familiar blue car parked in the street. a hand waves to me from the window. alamak. the window winds down and it's that person. hi jia en! did you get my email? yeah! (try to act enthusiastic and as if i'm running late) i have to catch an aerobics class now actually. i said in the email i can't make it on thursday, so how about wednesday? oh, i have to study for an exam (which i don't have). oh, then friday? (man, this person doesn't give up!!!) erm, ok i'll email you later? yeah don't forget! alright, see you! (pick up my pace because i'm late for aerobics class right?)

so there are some things in life that cannot be avoided. except three more phone calls from that person which i did not answer.
