After one morning of work, lunch break today started a little later, at 1pm.

On the way walking out from the floor, I met grandpa J, who was on his way to the cafe to read book.

He showed me the cover of the book in his hands. something -'ashes'

In the elevator he asked.

"Do you like history?"

"Hmmm..." seconds later. "Can't believe it took me so long to answer this questions.. If as a History subject in school, nope."

"How about history of the history."

*noded & smiled* "That's why i like geology."

"What else subjects do you like in school?"

"Hmm, right now in college, piano, geology.."

"What is your major right now?"

...

..

"You know what i think you should be studying?"

*stared at the old grandpa* for an answer

"BIOLOGY!"

(I thought, nice shoot, righit on the target. but team B gets credit, not us) "Oh, i've had enough about AP Bio in high school. And have decided not to take it again in college."

(regardlessly) "You should be a doctor!"

"Doctor..... I can be anything, except for a doctor."

"Why? You have to know you are better than that. Because i see people. I know you care, and you are very loyal. Why can't you be a doctor?"

"Well," ... "if i am already a patient, how can i be a doctor?"

He seemed confused at a sudden. "I do not get it." then he asked a question, which i think he meant to ask for the reason of my saying. But i didnt tell him, there is no reason, only fact.

I find it extremly hard to accept people's flatter, or compliment. 

This time i'm not worried. But it's definitely hard to reach out with all those reserved feelings.

I then think, maybe a career that suits me is to be able to do something on my own.

After lunch I headed to the Guitar center as usual. This time, another guy came to 'challenge' my playing, knowing... i don't go there for any challenge. He did so by sitting straightly next to a piano from me, asking me "are you ready?"

At the beginning, vaguely i wasn't really getting it. but i was sure he was confident.

Me stared at him, for an answer. He asked again, amusedly, which then amused me.

So i said, 'yeah' as a response. Then started him playing pop songs, most of which sounded quite familiar to me.

In an unfamiliar key though. I was trying out on my keyboard. He said he only played in A or G...

I admired his playing. Then played something which excited him a lot.

We exchanged number when i had to leave for work. I doubt we will ever call each other. But still glad, always glad about this mutual thing i find in music.

There are always people out there who are able to get it.

And today's work, quite frustrating.
