Cosmic Intervention

I was raised a Buddhist, and as such, have always believed in the concept of Karma. What we experience is a result of things we have done, and what we do now will affect our future.

All the people important in my life, I have met in the most unusual circumstances.

I remember a thin girl with large spectacles, who walked up to me after school on my very first day at St Agnes and yapped her head off about how green is good for the eyes. She talked and talked, and I just listened, and somehow we've been friends for more than 10 years.

I remember a frenzy search for a 3rd Angel for the Charlie Angels' sketch we promised to perform. It only took a phone call, a meeting and a tin of kuih kapit before the giggling and hugging to started.

It's the same with every single fabulous friend I've been fortunate enough to meet. It almost always took only one conversation, one encounter, or one single look.

All the important people in my life, I have met in the most precarious manner and in the weirdest places. It is so unexplainable, this cosmic connection- so much so that it is hard not to believe that our paths must have crossed before.
