About the movie; taken from Rottentomatoes.com

New York City, just before Christmas. The last pair of black cashmere gloves in Bloomingdale's is on its way to the counter. As the gloves arrive, Sara (Kate Beckinsale) and Jonathan (John Cusack) claim them simultaneously. And so it begins--Sara and Jonathan go to a little coffee shop, named Serendipity, to decide who gets the gloves. They skate in Central Park. They look at the stars--the Cassiopeia constellation has the same pattern as the freckles on Sara’s forearm. She writes her phone number in a book, saying she'll sell it to a random bookstore tomorrow. Jonathan writes his number on a five-dollar bill and she gives it to a street vendor. If destiny means them to be together, the book will find him, and the five-dollar bill will find her.

Enuff with the clues.. now back to reality.. well.. I got one friend.. lets call him Mr. T.. Hmmm.. he's still single and available.. bad experience with girls made him kinda not aggresively look for one.. for him.. the best yet to come.. One fine day, he met a girl at his client office and all the sudden, at first sight he felt she could be THE one.. However, for some reasons, it took him six months to write one liner email to ask her out.. The best thing is, on that day, his zodiac reads "Do something different and you will find yourself involved with someone or something new, that will give you much happiness":

Mr T keeps his finger crossed waiting for her reply.. however.. he couldnt access the internet for the whole day since his company havent paid the internet bill.. hmmm.. what a bad sign ha.. Should I call this a serendipity or should I rephrase it as just pity.. heheh..

As for you guys.. have you ever come across to this co-incidence that bring you happiness.. Do you believe in such things? Should we sit down and hope for the thing to well work-out by itself.. let time send your soulmate to your doorbell? Like Dharma & Greg who got married on the day they met.. Or you prefer to make things as the way you want it to be.. Like Ed Stevens with his shining armour, video clip and writings on the sky..

Share some thoughts..

ps : I know somebody who heard a name over the radio.. then she met a guy.. the guy mentioned his name.. she remembered THAT name.. straight away, they became close.. and now happily married ever after..
