A Series of Fortunate Events

Last Saturday, Hadi, my housemate, and I were walking home from the market after getting some stuff.
Just as we turned into the alley in front of our house, a middle age woman came up from behind and tugged my friend's jacket. She took out a packet of strawberries from a plastic bag she was carrying, and presenting it to us saying :"Take this."
The two of us were quite surprised, but we took it and thanked her for the gift.

Last night my housemate, Faisal, who rarely goes out window shopping, suddenly suggested that we go to a shopping centre in Yeongdengpo. I was quite reluctant to go as my backside and leg were still hurting due to a fall I had before the performance yesterday morning.
But after being persuaded and wanting to look for a pair of swimming trunks, eventually I went with him and Hadi.
We went to Yeongdengpo, but weren't able to find what we wanted, so on the way back I suggested dropping by at Guro Station to see whether the stores are still open. But to our disappointment, the stores were all closed. To make the stop worthwhile I brought the two of them to CGV theatre as they've never been to the one in Guro before.
After walking around the food court, arcade and applied for a CGV card, we decided to go back. But just before we went downstairs, I thought it'll be good to check out what movie is being screen at the cinema.
And ta ta! As we were looking at the timetable, a lady approaches us and asked whether we were planning to buy movie tickets. She then presented us with four movie tickets for the movie "Red Eye" and asked whether we want to watch it. She further explains that she bought the tickets but wasn't able to watch it and would willingly give it away for free.
Though Hadi and I don't like horror movie , we decided to watch it anyway as the ticket was given to us for free.

Coincident? Luck? Whatever it may be I believe we met few of the nicest Koreans in town^^
