I'm typing this out partially to ease some of you all's concern and curiosity and partly, because I want to.
Might be a lil' infantile so you can forget about reading my story if you don't wish to...
First up, the meeting with (let's call him... alamak, his initial is "J" leh.. but I got too many friends with that initial so I shall deem him as "H") H went rather hokaaaay despite it was rather a short one. We were supposed to go for supper (which I already planned to see him eat cuz I dare not break the greatest taboo of dieting) but was eventually cancelled. Read on.
H was actually my childhood playmate, alongside with another boy named WJ. I got to know these boys when I followed dad to his majong den. H and I were 10, WJ were 12. Them, like me, were the kids of those majong khakis.
WJ being 2 years older then us, was the big brother. He will be held responsible should anything were to happen to us and of course, he had his fair share of bullying us too.
Fella got v bad temper but was nice on the overall lah. H was always shielding and standing on same border as I. And oh, he never sabotages me when playing games whereas I was perpetually supporting him whenever he and WJ were in any games.
Think partly because H is always making use of me to do his chinese homework. =_="'
Am not stchupid my dear, I made him did my science and maths homework. Hiak hiak.
And there's this one day we were so bored WJ suggested we should play "share secrets". Stupid game was to tell one another if we had someone in mind.
Apparently, all 3 of us had a crush on somebody back then lah. Speaking of early maturity.. WJ said he had a crush on this particular classmate (who's cares??!) of his where H and I refuse to say ours. So WJ said, ok then, you all whisper to me respectively. We go into the room. You all take turns to tell me.
My gaze followed the boys when they walked into the room. Full of jealousy already. H was a honeypot with dozen of bees bugging him and I was the ugly duckling whom who knows will turn into a swan or not.
I was sulking when H came out and WJ asked me in. Tmd this feels like some appraisal thingy leh now that I think of it.
WJ was grining. As told, I whispered (in room liao why still need to whisper ah? bo liao right?) to him my crush.
He's eyes went enormous. The rest I need not explain I guess. 3 of us sat down in the hall, WJ "announced" the secret...
================================
The initial plan of H was to have dinner and movie on Sunday. Sunday leh! Siao. I'm too rational to know that I have to work on Monday and no way I'm gonna stay out late on Sunday. Afterall, I hardly go out on Sundays too.
You know what? I'm actually starting to regret why didn't I choose to meet him on Sunday instead...
=================================
So, fella called me when he's on his way lah, huh... And again upon reaching. All was blurry cuz like I've said, I was overwhelmed with anxiety.
Kukuberd stood until so stylish, leaning against the front of his car, hands in pockets and facing towards the direction when I'm heading from. Chao turban. See him only I is blush.
Me leh. Lady Jinxed. Blush? Uncalm? Siao.
But all and all, was undeniably true. He was the very first boy I had a crush on. Even before my life was tainted in any way. He remained by far, the most immaculate memory amongst my many nightmarish ones.
"Haaaar-looow, long time noooo seeeee~" (yes, he spoke with that amount of dragginess)
Me: "alamak, this feels so awkward leh"
===================================
Whole damn time I was playing with my pouch, drawing and undrawing the strings. Sign of being nervous no. 1
Back was ruler straight when I was in the car. Sign of nervous no. 2
I reckon he wasn't hungry because he'd just came from a friend's bd party. So I demanded for ice-cream in return for him making me wait so long.
Dared not look at him when we talk. Sign of nervous no. 3
Only managed to take short glances at him which I realised, he too, dared to take short glances at me only.
*damn awkward*
And then there's this complete silence.
*largi awkward*
Me: "Say something leh, very weird leh!"
H: "Why have you stop coming to the majong den?"
Me: "Huh? Oh, haha.. eh.. because we advance to secondary school liao mah!"
H: "Secondary school cannot come meh?"
Me: "haha.. haha... erm... no point mah! You know, because you boys were always running about by then and couldn't bring me along as you all were too young to take care of me because I'm a girl!" (wtf.. I actually said that???)
H: "Hahaha. Rubbish.. Anyway let's ask WJ out and have dinner someday."
Me: "Sounds great~"
*silence again, wah rao.....*
Me: (OS: say something. Think! THINK of something to say you bodoh-bell!)
"Well, I'm suprised you remembered me! Been 10 over year since I last seen you!! Haha.. ha.. haha.."
(I bet none of you people has seen me in such state before. I'm usually quite calm. Even when I'm lying)
H: "Why wouldn't I?"
Me: "Hahahaha.. erm.. haha.. I dunno?"
*continue eating my ben&jerry's*
WHY LIDAT AH?!?!?!?
================================
Quit probing. This fella childhood sweetheart of mine, albeit managed to make me nervous and butterflies in my stomach, he is not anywhere a near target of mine. Very very very good catch I must say. But that only applies to the unrealistic part of asset and good looks. At least I think he is good looking. Not sure about the rest.
He hasn't work before. He wakes up at 6pm. He parties henceafter. He's got a ready VP position waiting for him to take over. If he's keen, that is.
Thus, I bet he's got many Fiona Xie lookalikes around him.
So period.
