I Don't Believe in Fate- Or Do I?

Let me set this up:
I really don't like going to the mall, I do on occasion go there to meet someone or get some food, but I am by no means a frequent visitor. Yesterday, I was driving past the mall, it was 5PM and I had to be somewhere at 6. I decided to go to the mall to kill some time. As I'm pulling into the lot I said to myself " I bet I see so and so here." Not that this person is a mall rat, I havent seen them there before and I have no idea why I thought that I'd see them there. I walk around make my way to Best Buy, look at TV's, go out into the hallway walk down to Old Navy, look around in there 10 minutes and then decide to head out. As I reenter the hallway I see the person I somehow knew I would see, so we stand there talking for 20 minutes and I say nothing about knowing this would happen, totally freaked out that it did. Any takers on this one because I could use the help on this big time? Is there a cosmic plan?

Ok here is my idea,
you were not just thinking you would see that person at the mall, you were momentairly thinking about that person, not lingering mind you, perhaps even as simple as "It would be cool to run into that person."
So when you did, Your brain was like HOLY SHIT, that's strange I was just thinking that. I not one to go in for the whole plan / destiny thing, any more (I used to be). I just think things happen, good bad, and coinsidental. And things are usualy not what we think they are when we first observe them.
