(Continued from previous post)

We bid farewell to each other after the dinner, thinking when would be the next time we meet again.

I got a text message from an unregistered number in afternoon two days ago, asking me if I was free. I didn't have any person in my mind who the owner of the number was, until I checked the profile pic. It was him. He asked me out for lunch after I replied him that I was not occupied that afternoon. We went for Ramen. He was very enough to share his stories of success and even show the willingness to help me for my future. That was when I told him I didn't owe any certificate nor skills but was willing to learn and have been learning. We paused the topic for awhile and went for a walk at the malls. As we were walking, he continued to share his stories and experiences in the adult world. I felt like he was like a teacher to me. I don't know what kind of experience would be having a teacher teaching you new knowledge and caring for you but I think that was close. After malls, he introduced me his office(it was a public holiday, so that was no one in it). I really appreciate him showing me around the office, that made me felt like I was still a useful guy that was still valued by such a experienced guy. We talked in the office for another 20mins while he was sorting his stuffs at his desk, he proceeded to send me home.

Before we arrived at the car park at my place, he gave me some advises. He said I should start looking for some private school and get some certificates that will help in my career. He also seemed to know my financial level and was offering to help me with that.

I'm really grateful.
