just when i had mentioned how life is unpredictable in a very recent post, sth happened today that made me think - u really dunno wad is coming round the corner.

was knocking off and taking the lift down, and saw two tenants heading to the lobby from the opposite end of the floor( our bldg has lots of tenants housed in offices like mine). as I still do not know alot of the tenants there, I tot I shld be friendly and just smiled at the 2 gentlemen - 1 indian & 1 caucasian.

when the lift door closed, I heard the indian speak:

'so are you in consulting or IT?'

it took me split seconds to realise he was talking to me because the caucasian was obviously his colleague. and I casually replied consulting and told him wad we do.

'so if I want to apply for a grant you can help me?'

I tot he was just making small talk, but I soon realised he was serious - they were really gonna apply for a grant but dunno how to. and we exchanged namecards outside the lobby... just when I saw my boss's car drive by and long enough for me to see his puzzled face as to why I was stnading there with the 2 unfamiliar men.

so you see? a short lift ride can even lead to potential customers. gosh.

oh, at first when I haven't seen who was spking to me I tot it was the caucasian man who spoke though. the typical stereotyping. yeah... we're all an occasional culprit of tat aren't we? :X surprisingly, from the brief eye contact we exchg & his body language, the caucasian is the shyer guy there.

hmm. let's hope this really leads to sth good. prove my 'usefulness' at work.

tml is a dreadfully boring day. this time boring because of the work, not because there's none. there are a few things I have to iron out abt some proposals tat is starting to get on my nerves. just getting the information alone needed quite a lot of email exchgs because the consultant guy gave us 6 cases in one shot.

and I end up doing all the proposal & coordination shit. boo.
