Wonderful Arrangement of Life..

You would never know what life has in store for you..
Sometimes it just surprised me when I least expected it..
A lot of times I was struck amazed by it's wonderful arrangement..

Being very conscious about self-safety..
I had never traveled a long distance alone
to a place of unknown..
If I were given a choice..
The risk would definitely not be taken..
Yet sometimes situation does not allow us
to do only what we want..


So that day due to my responsibility as an ICXer in AIESEC..
I left with no choice but to make my first so called adventure
to Putrajaya by public transport..
Going was not a problem as
I had a companion to lead our way..
The inner struggle started when I had to come back by myself..
Already being drained out by the long-waiting process in immigration department..
The unfamiliar faces that surrounded only add on my insecurity..


Two and a half hours of delay on my preset schedule was slowly eating up my patience..
Finally I got the immigration approval letter in my hands at 4.35PM ..
Mission accomplished at last!!
It's time to head back to Kuala Lumpur..
The sky was relatively dark that moment..

Just like my mood this late afternoon..It was my luck when I realized that
I missed the train back to town in a 10-step distance..The train went off in front of my eyes..
"Oh damn!!"
Knowing the fact that I have to drag my journey
to another half an hour until the next train comes..
Despair hit me hard..
Until a guy who also missed a train like I did turned and asked..
"Hey!! Are you an AIESECer too??"
Giving him a frown my answer was "Yes"..


Totally out of random..I found out that he was a former AIESECer from UKM
who we share a lot of common friends..and I was recognized simply because I had an AIESEC shirt on..
Two strangers linked by a single name started talking..
Half an hour of sharing lighten
the torturing of expecting the next train..
Time flies without we even realized it..
So..
I bumped into a stranger that later on became my friend..
Just when I thought I was going to go through
the ups and downs of the journey all by myself..
The unexpected meet amazed me and it created a big impact in me..

Once I was told to believe that the world is safe for me to explore..
But I have never trusted it..
Now..
I am starting to love the randomness in my life..
Life has more to be explored..
