a familiar left hand
The world is real small...or rather as my fren puts it, its Singapore that is small..
Yesterday, i was at my fencing ( aka "poking") practice when i saw a vaguely( n i reali mean vaguely) familiar face. I dismissed it rather nonchalantly cos' ple bear similar resemblances...i tot this guy may jus happened to resemble someone ive met before..
The practice went on, n we were to line up into 2 rows facing each other. we were learning how to guard e different target areas of our body, n we were supposed to attack with our pens. pens? haha, ya pens. We are not to handle any sabres as yet. so dun imagine me in any handsome attire or pose now...hehe..
anywae, this guy with e vague resemblance to someone out there were standing in front of me so we had to practise together. I looked at his on guard pose, n realise he is a left-hander. This makes his target areas totally reversed from mine, n i started to comment, "oh, ya a left-hander," b4 i could even finish my sentence, my brain seems to work in nanosecond speed...n all of a sudden, e words came tumbling outta my mouth," ya sim XX, rite? from Chong Li Pri Sch." he nodded, n smiled," ya gXX qXXg, rite?"( not going to mention my chinese name haha..;p)
tata! it all jus clicked like dat. it all happened e moment i saw his left hand. Before u all start thinking ive any perverted obsession with left hands, let me explain. u know how ple will associate smells with ple or objects? like Drew Barrymore in "50 first dates" where fishy smell will remind her of her dad n bro? u can associate some body features with ple too...like maybe dimples will remind u of someone. Well, for me , its reali e left hand that makes me recognise him. why? cos he's e 1st left-hander dat ive known(rem i knew him in pri sch, pri1), n also e 1st person with e surname "sim" that ive known....
i jus feel its so amazing....i havent seen him in 9 yrs, n never would have thought we'll meet again anywhere, not 2 mention at a fencing practice. n although e yrs have passed, e left hand had grown 2 mature proportion, e "feel" of dat left hand is still e same...but e boy has become a man...
i still recognise his left hand...
