life is unpredictable
i'm going in a serious state.there are 2 tales to tell today.
i experienced it a week after college started and the other one was...
two weeks ago.
it's not about me, but about others' life experience, the vivid life example.
i now know what my friend, alvin, said about our lives are simply perfect.
first story (two weeks ago)
when i went to a paint store with my mom, we met someone.
it was an employee of a quite big optic store
where my mom and I bought glasses there, as regular customers.
he did the administration of the store and always gave us the most sincere smile he had.
and i believe that his economic state wasn't bad, he was... adequate.
this is the glasses i bought there, my favorite ace:

err... is it making my tale less serious? lol :p
anyway, this is how we met,
when we finished buying 3 cans of paint for my mural competition,
we got back to the car, and ready to hit the road.
while i took some change and opened the window to pay the parking fee,
there he was...
he was the parking man.
with ragged clothes and unshaven beard.
shocked, he and my mom talk a few minutes,
with teary eyes he told us that the store got bankrupt.
because the selling wasn't good, especially after the owner found out that their family's inheritance couldn't ooze out.
they had no choice than closing the store and they didn't even pay ALL of the employees. :(
i cried after i heard the story.
moving on, next story.
one week after college started, still in the orientation week :x
i went to a food stall, with feli, near our boarding house.
before our foods came, i SUDDENLY remembered a song I REALLY LIKE.
it's an Indonesian song, and i love it since i was in junior high.
entitled "EYELESS" or "WITHOUT EYES" or something like it haha.
it's about a blind man who yearn the love of a girl and he can still sees her in his dream :'(
the lyric goes something like this in english :p (download here):
in the soleness,
there's no longer the warmth of your hugs
i try to hold out restlessly in the dark,
there's no longer light to brighten my steps
i try to walk, eyeless
chorus:
i'm eyeless...
but i still can see you smiling in my deepest fantasy
i'm eyeless...
but i still can see you dancing in my imagination
eyeless... restlessly...
i sang it to feli and i felt the longing for not singing that song in a quite long time.
10 minutes after we had that-sad-song-conversation and getting mellow every minute, suddenly an old couple went in to the stall. sit right behind our table.
the guy was blind.
the woman helped him all the way while eating.
she opened a conello ice cream for him and put it in his arm.
they eat together. she talked to him close to his ear.
that's the ultimate coincidence that ever happened to me.
can't say more :(
just be happy for everything. life doesn't come twice.
