still growing

For those who know me , i will be turning 21 this year . Throughout my entire life , i had been regarded as a small kid , a lazy fat kid . Of course , i cant really blame anyone for this . The fault fundamentally lies in me . I dun have an exciting social life , or an impressive resume , neither the intellectual capability of any great thinker .And apparently looks has never been my field of expertise .... But today something nice just happened to me . A simple encounter that gently reminds me that i am still on the road of growing up . I was on the way back home , i came across this girl who was riding on the same train with me . She look sorely familiar . Something tell me , i know this person , that i have came across this person somewhere along my path in life . She is not just random person i meet in the train station . So i tried to recollect all the faces that was imprinted into my mind . I finally concluded that she was from the same Art faculty in JJ as me . But that is this nagging feeling within me that want me to actually confirm with her . So here come a challenge to me . Being SHY , i seriously feel threatened when thinking about the prospect of approaching a total stranger and say hey do i know u ? So i waited and waited and waited and waited from City Hall all the way to Dover and trying to maintain a " i dont care " face . Finally after Dover MRT station , i decided to do something that i never would have done . I decided to approach the total stranger and ask if she is the person i thought she maybe . Indeed she is apparently the fellow JJcian in my batch . And of course she also maintained a very polite and dignified reply to me . I seriously respect her for that ( had the situation reversed , i will perhaps just flee the scene ... ) Ultimately , i believe had this encounter happened while i am in JC i will perhaps keep it within me and never ask the stranger . Had it happened when i was in my secondary school , i probably wouldnt even notice her . But today i actually dare to go out my comfort zone which i am really proud of myself . Perhaps a living testament to the fact that we are still growing up and maturing , perhaps one day when i meet another fellow old friend , classmate and colleague off the street , i will not have to wait from City hall to Dover , maybe just Queenstown ......
