I am still in shock, of how I just came across the most impossible coincidence in the world!
Just this afternoon I had an interview at a Dutch bank regarding my PA. (Well, my previous company backed out at the last minute!!!) While watching Ah Wang, I had a call from a foreign number, I couldn't really tell it is from, except I do know it is a European number, cos I recognise the first 2 digits representing the area code. Who can it be? Raphael was the only one I could think of, but why not the number I had stored in the phone???
You can tell how many questions I had swirling in my mind before the phone rang for a few rings and I finally picked it up. No, it was not Raphael. The man over the phone started saying he is calling from ...... and he is looking for a Mr. XXX. Honestly, since I was in the living room I couldn't hear him properly. so I said pardon, and he said he is calling from a Dutch company etc. The first thing that came to my mind was my interview this afternoon, though I know there's no way there'll call me over this, cos I'm just a HR intern. Not some bigshot dean-lister looking for a prestigious internship that will make someone call from the European headquarters.
Guess what??? This guy called my number to look for a man, and he really meant to call Singapore. Just that I think he was given the wrong no. He himself was quite surprised to know that I had an interview this afternoon at the Dutch bank, but no, he's looking for a certain mister. Haha... but he jokingly said that if I send my resume over maybe he can find me a job in Holland. *chuckles* he's so gentleman. Anyway, I told him to try another number after he double checked the no with me - he had a 9-digit mobile no, think the last digit wrong. And we wished each other good luck in finding what we want. Hahaha... tell me what kind of coincidence is this??? The timing is real good, lol. I shld save his number. And next time when I find Singapore dull and boring, I can get myself a job in Holland/Nederlands, hooray!
