i don't think i'm a very lucky guy.. perhaps i just got lucky..

during the chinese new year gathering at ST office two fridays ago, we had a competition to design some doublets for the company.. our group made a rather unique design for it, and i, being a busybody, offered to do the calligraphy for the doublets using marker pen.. i wrote them in zuan style, which is a rather old style of calligraphy and partly because of that and the unique design, we won the first prize.. and lots of people praised the nice calligraphy, but of course not many knew it was me.. they probably would find it hard for a young guy like me to be proficient in calligraphy.. haha.. i was just happy that my art was appreciated..

tonight was the chinese new year dinner at roland restaurant, which i must really admit, bad service and poor food fare.. all the veggies were located at one table, which was far from my colleagues, i asked a service crew whether they could make arrangement such that they serve the veggie food to me at my colleague's table, he simply replied "i don't know." okay, fair enough, he can't make such decision. so i asked him to whom can i direct the question, and he simply replied again, in his matter-of-state manner "i don't know." bad answer, i've decided straight away that this restaurant's service is well below average.. the food's nothing to brag about either.. mostly fried stuff, and the noodles were too salty.. alright, enough about negative parts..
i actually won the 8th prize during the lucky draw, which was really rare.. the prize was pretty cool, $80 ntuc voucher, enough to keep my office's pantry full for 8 months, on top of the $5 pantry allowance monthly from my company.. and my winning number happens to be part of my project manager's mobile number, to which she said is very lucky.. very lucky indeed..

oh well.. luck is just part and puzzle of a person's life.. it comes and goes.. nothing to open a party for, but something not to take granted of either.. be grateful when you have it, and when you don't, just take it in great strides.. life goes on..
cheers..
