A lucky day

Just as I was leaving the office and walking towards the Kerinchi LRT station about 150 metres away, a car drove passed and suddenly stopped. Turned out to be a friend of mine. He asked me where I was going and I told him Amcorp Mall. As it happened, he was going the same way and offered me a ride. I accepted without much persuasion. Saved me walking in the hot sun!
On reaching the outskirts of the mall, he dropped me and went on his way. I walked towards the mall and as I reached it, immediately bumped into another friend. He was buying lunch at Subway and before I could say anything, offered to buy me lunch as well. I accepted without much persuasion. A free lunch!
After exchanging stories about our work, children and what to do come retirement while enjoying the lunch, we went our separate ways. I went to the nearby bank and paid my car installment (the purpose for going to Amcorp Mall) and walked towards the Jaya LRT station to take the LRT back to Kerinchi.
I had hardly walked a few steps when another car stopped right in front of me. And what have you but another friend who was just leaving the mall and heading back to the office. He offered me a ride. I accepted without much persuasion. Saved me from walking in the hot sun ...again!
Safely back in my office... I thought to myself. Must be my lucky day!
