It's just weird sometimes when you sit and think about life. What's amazing is how things happen when it's almost impossible. I'm talking about my friendship with Dinoop. Well he's an Indian guy from Dubai and works in Australia. I'm an Indian born and bred in Malaysia. We got connected through the cyber world. Now for someone from two different parts of the world, meeting in person would seem really unbelievable. It's almost like a miracle! I must say again, 30 has been a lucky one for me.
Though Dino (as I call him in short) and I had trouble setting up a time to meet initially as his trip was a very short one, I managed to coax him into meeting me at 6.30am on Monday the 21st December. Well coming out eary was no problem for me as he was staying in Grand Season's Jalan Pahang. It was nice to meet him. The minute we met, he smiled and i was like "ahh finally he's here". His first comment about me was "I thought you were way much taller" and I replied with a smile "I am way much taller but just that I don't have heels on today" and he smiled back. We had a cup of coffee and one hour just flew by so fast. I had to make a move to get my ass in the office of course as it was a working day. We did not talk much I would say maybe because I do chat with him often and the fact we were interrupted by a friend of mine whom I happen to bump into at the same time - Kak Ida who's a tourist guide. But it didn't matter as I would still say meeting Dino made my day for that day.
I've known him for 2 years plus now and I must say I could have never met another bubbly, friendly and a decent chap. If you don't know, the cyber world is full of loonies' at times and it can get scary at some point at time. But Dino was the same even when we met in person. He is a good friend. How just so sad that I'm way much older, taller and staying zillions of miles away!! Nevertheless the bond of friendship will be something that I know we will cherish in this lifetime.
So Dino, thank you for the friendship da and hope to see you more in the future. God Bless
