Lightning Can Strike Any Location More Than Once
since jinni is complaining, i should write up what i’m supposed to post 2 weeks ago.
that thursday, i attended an annual appreciation dinner by nehemiah reinforced soil sdn bhd held at tropicana golf & country resort. as my boss was invited, the rest of us tagged along to make it what you call a memorable evening.
when i first got there with my colleagues, i felt so lost. majority of the guest there were… let’s just say much older than us. after registering ourselves on behalf of our boss, we took our seats. not long after that, the event started with some weird drum performance before food is served.
there were a couple of lucky draw sessions taking place in the midst of food-eating action. mind you that each invitation card has a unique number printed on its corner. all i can is, my colleague did pray pretty hard that day. right after his unusual ritual, the number on my boss’ card echoed through the ballroom! his face was shocked in disbelief upon hearing it announced by the emcee, as the ritual he conducted was supposed to be a joke.
off he went, hurrying up the stage to retrieve his prize. i tell you, that wasn’t the end of us. after a short break, the lucky draw continued.
this time again, my colleague performed his odd ritual. ever heard of the old saying “lightning never strikes the same place twice”? that evening, we prove it otherwise , which explains my post title. when the number was called upon again, he stared at the rest of us in disbelief, while i was asked to go claim the prize.
i went up, wearing a jeans and a long sleeve shirt, feeling a little under-dressed. hey, the dress code says casual, right? that evening, my company’s name was famous due to free advertising.
apart from the huge gifts, people were staring at us because we made a little too much noise. i guess we can’t be blamed for being excited over our fortunate evening, can we? the next morning, i can’t resist myself from taking a photo with the prizes.
