In a string of events that an atheist or sceptic would call "coincidence" and I can only call "Providence", my blue thumb drive has come home. The one I had given up as lost forever about a month ago, because I could find it neither in the office nor anywhere at home. I thought I must have dropped it in the garden and two dogs are now walking around with some silicon in them.
So I thought I'd misplaced my shopping mall parking ticket but during the search, the thumb drive was found instead.
"Serendipity!" the Thesaurus Bug in my head yells. It's a big, complicated word to describe a simple concept: "accidentally discovering something good". Hokkiens have a colourful phrase for it: "Blind chicken stumbles upon a worm."
(It sounds more impressive in Hokkien.)
Home?
Speaking of, it's August 31! Happy Birthday, Malaysia! :o)
