Special, Strange but Great

Today, I have a weird and funny experience.

I was not in a mood of doing anything or staying in the room this afternoon. So I walked to nowhere in Oxford.

When I was walking along the street opposite to Christ Church College, at one of the bus stop, an old man smile slightly to me and I returned the smile out of politeness. Then he started to speak to me, asking me whether I'm a Malaysian or Singaporean. I had no idea and still not about how he recognised that. I suppose Malaysian/Singaporean have a special feature in outlook. Then he started to ask questions and me answering. He is a visiting fellow from Singapore for a week. I felt he is having homesick, really homesick when he said he wanted to go back to Singapore earlier before the planned journey.

That's a total stranger start talking on the street. That's really a new experience. Anyway, it's more than that. I was really feeling bad and wanted to talk to either someone really close or someone totally strange. But 'someone really close' is nowhere to be found at the moment. Thank God for somehow cure me a bit. I have no idea how this happens and no idea what has happened but I felt better after the talking.
