As I think I am beginning a new chapter in my life (Year of the Rabbit anyone?), the many multitudes of events that have had transpired over the last couple of months have been majorly trans-formative and with so many changes occurring at once, it has been an emotional roller coaster and I was beginning to break down mentally. Mid-life crisis, must be a Tuesday!
With an event that happened last week, that was the final straw and I wanted off the emotional roller coaster ride as it had begun affecting too many aspects of my life. Thus, I had started seeking spiritual guidance to help bring back inner peace and emotional composure and to help put me back on the right track.
I had asked a friend if they could help me learn to meditate but instead got invited to a place that will offer spiritual guidance instead.
After the session, my friend introduced me to another guest and said “Hey, he’s from Sydney too” and here I am thinking to myself Sydney is such a hooooooge place that its impossible to meet someone that you know and of course I would of recognised them instantly if I had known them.
He asked what part of Sydney I was from and I answered, South Western Suburbs and He said “I am from the Eastern Suburbs.”
I am like “hmmmmmm, I grew up in the eastern suburbs, I actually went to St Andrews, Malabar.” That is when I saw something clicked in him and he then replied “You must be in my brothers year?” I was like there was only a few asian kids that attended my whole school so it was pretty easy to narrow down.
Anyways it turned out he was my best friend’s brother from primary school and his family had a Commodore 64.
It was basically my first introduction to what would become my life’s passion and what would become my career and main line of business of computers and technology.
Anyways, off topic, spun out that I had not met this guy in over 30 years and to meet in Adelaide and to be at this gathering of minds and souls was a major spin out.
