Hi folks ! I've been away quite a while eh ??? It's past midnite and here am I again busy tapping around on this lap top of mine whilst the rest are asleep . Well , life was indeed full of drama , action and more . To be honest with you , I was actually in the midst of planning my wedding !
Aiks ! It all started some months ago , well to be exact some nine months ago , while I was busy working on my assignment and at the same time having the internet explorer on from an online dating website , I receive an online chat invitation from a stranger . And so I opened up to the invitation and started chatting away with this stranger who somehow looked like a foreigner to me . Along the line of chatting , I discovered that he's a fellow citizen but from mix parentage . After a couple of hours , we decided to exchange handphone numbers and immediately I receive a call from him . We had a good chat and subsequently , there were more chats and smses that followed in the following days .
THEN , came the moment of truth , the day to meet him for the very first time face to face .
Whilst
waiting for him
on a warm
Saturday afternoon for
lunch , my
heart was thumping
fast , pacing
the walkway across
the LRT station
, just wondering
what his reaction
or my reaction
will be seeing
and meeting each
other for the very
first time .
No though he
was a couple
of minutes late
and not knowing
which side of
the station to
exit , I
called him up and informed
him that I
will be waiting
in front of
Macdonald’s . Heart
thumping again with
my hawk eyes
looking across the
street for that
smart looking pan-Asian
guy . Then
, there he
comes with a
mega-watt smile on
his clean shaven
face and a cool looking
Rayban shades .
Instantly knowing that I was
the one and
that he was
the one ,
we instantly embraced
each other on
the spot not
bothered for anything
or any one who was
staring at us
at that moment
. A moment
that I will
never ever forget
, a moment
to be cherished
! Immediately ,
we walked hand
in hand to
the Indian restaurant
nearby ( which eventually became his
favourite ) and
had lunch there
that I wish
would never end .
We immediately clicked
so well and left
the restaurant after
3 solid hours
of chatting and of course
eating as well
( my longest
lunch appointment ever ! )
that he walked
me home hand
in hand again
and waited and
only turned to
leave till I
reached my doorstep
. A real
gentleman indeed . We
met up after
that almost everyday
either he coming
over to my
place or me going over
to his place .
We were indeed
inseparable . It was THE
most best time
of my life that I
had ever experienced
. The feeling and
all the undivided
attention from him
, made me
feel so blessed
and the feeling
of “ I’M
THE LUCKIEST WOMAN
ON EARTH “
kind of thing
. Wherever we
went , we got all the attention
and stares because
the differences of
our race and
his natural demeaour
with people ,
his politeness and
his ability to
strike up a
friendly conversation with
anyone . I
remember vividly on
one occasion , when we
went to purchase
a pair of
shoes , he
became so friendly
with the salesgirl
that she told
me straight to
my face that
I’m really lucky
for having a
man like him
as my companion
! I was
beaming with pride and
joy - believe
me it felt
really good . I
could see the
glow in his
eyes and hear
the excitement in
his voice each
time he introduced
me to his
family and friends
. I even
overheard a comment
that someone whispered
to him “
you are a
lucky man “
- I guess
this is referring
to him introducing
me to his
friends . I
not only felt
lucky but I
felt blessed too
because I believed
in both of
us and in
this relationship that
he and I
shared . He
even introduced me
to his pastor
as the love
of his life
- the more
I was filled
with awe .
We
did little things
together like watching
the stars at
night , chatting
for hours our
blues away ,
going out for
a movie ,
hanging around lounge
and listening to
the performing band
for the night
, walking hand
in hand from
one end to
the other end
of the city
and just enjoying
each other’s company
. The flame
was just burning
so brightly in
this relationship .
Sadly
, in the last
couple of weeks
, the flame
became smaller and
eventually died out . We
worked hard to
revived it again
but we failed
and eventually came
to a decision
to go our
separate ways .
This was the
most painful part
for the both
of us because
to me ,
this is my
very first time
falling in love
and it just
faded away with
time . I could not
get him out of
my
mind what more
my heart . For I
know that if
this were ever
happen to me
in my younger
days , I will not
be able to
bear the pain
and sadness of breaking
up . I’m still
on the road
to recovery .
Thank you for
that experience of
a lifetime ,
to fall in
love .
Are those your eyes, is that your smile
I've been lookin' at you forever
But I never saw you before
Are these your hands holdin' mine
Now I wonder how I could of been so blind
For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin' back at me
Now I understand why love is
Love is for the first time
I've been lookin' at you forever
But I never saw you before
Are these your hands holdin' mine
Now I wonder how I could of been so blind
For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin' back at me
Now I understand why love is
Love is for the first time
PS/: I still miss him .............. ;(
