Suddenly i remember an encounter with my ex-schoolmate few months back...who used to look down on me...and based on our short chit chat over coffee he still do look down on me...literally he was taller than me and still is...then we started to talk about our life back then and life now...the conversation got into an interesting turn of event when we got into the conversation about our current life...this is roughly how the conversation goes...not in the exact words...but non-the-less still carry the same meaning...
Friend : Hang kerja apa la nie?
Me : Owh...aku keja gomen...
Friend : Ermmm...keja apa hang nie?
Me : Kebanyakan aku kena buat persediaan untuk mesyuarat (which is true...just not into details)
Friend : Oooo (with that mocking tone of his)...itu la...dulu orang suruh blajaq betoi betoi...jangan dok berangan saja...tengok la nie...dok keja wat persediaan mesyuarat je...(then he laugh the mocking laugh)
Me : Errrr (in my mind...what the hague?) Hang plak buat apa la nie?
Friend : Aku engineer at *****...ni pon aku baru balik dari UK...holiday...best gila...hang pernah pi?
Me : Kalau ada rezeki insya allah...
Friend : Kalau kerja setakat dok wat persediaan mesyuarat saja...ntah bila la hang bleh pi...pi dalam mimpi saja la kot...(then continue to laugh)...hang ni tak berubah langsung...memang kaki berangan...
Me : Ermmmm...
*Then we just continue to chit chat about things and me got smashed here and then which i let him think whatever he wants to think of me*
Friend : Hang ada fesbuk...
Me : Ada...add la aku (with me giving my emel add)...
Friend : Nanti aku add...
Me : Sure...okay lah...got to go...nice meeting you...
Friend : Nice meeting you too...one advice...brenti la berangan...usaha la lebih skit...
Me : Insya allah...
That nite he add me up in fesbuk...
Then recently i bumped into him again...but this time around...there's no more mocking laugh...there's no more irritating statements...very civil conversation over coffee...about the current life...for once in our entire years of knowing each other...i was the one who lead the conversation instead of him...how the tables has turned...
Its interesting...i used to be ridiculed by this guy...every single word that came out from my mouth will be smashed down by irritating words...but now seek my advice on certain stuffs...
Funny...good lesson even for myself...there's nothing wrong of being look down upon...being an underdog... coz there's more elements of surprise...just go with the flow and let the wind blows...
This is life...the wheel of life...reality...
