CHAPTER FOUR

How Minnie Met Mickey ?

After taking one year and a half time to recover from the broken-hearted relationship, here in this unexpected trip with a friend of mine had pretty changed a part of my life. I am not that lonely anymore. This is when I met Him – that I call Him my baby.

In that trip, I used to be a very silent girl not more or less like an “alien” in the whole bunch of people. Not more than two or three people that knew me or even heard my name before. They might obviously or not been observing me through the trip. I don’t really care what others think of me but I am pretty glad to know some new friends there. At the same time and here the time passes by, honestly , I have been observing a guy. It did not happen as I wish to, but it happens naturally and pretty much out of my realization. I did not get to know his name until I came back from that trip. I started to feel the attraction from him even though He did not do anything purposely to catch my attention. Sometimes I might have tried to get near to Him so that we could talk or maybe slightly “bumped” into Him. Unfortunately, He seems like trying to get away whenever I get near to Him. I don’t know why. That made me felt like I am disgusted Him or I thought He might disliked me perhaps. It’s okay ! I don’t give a damn.

And I start to draw me attention towards Him away. A kind of frustrated feeling suddenly pop out in my mind. However, who knows, He talked to me for the first time. The first sentence that come out from his mouth was “Do you want to eat?”. I am damn shocked that time so I shake my head as a reply to Him. My heart suddenly beats very fast as that I could hardly hold my breathe in a second. It was like ……WoHooOOOOO!!! Man, He talked to me!! Haha.. I have a great feeling that I want to know this guy more. I don’t have this kind of feelings for more than two years ago. This kind of stroked-heart case happens again. At the first night of my trip, I am kind of – not really bored. So, I had text Nic, a friend of mine to chat, in case he might know what I can do. He told me the guys in the trip are his friend and he had asked me to choose if there is my Mr. Right, who knows? Loll...I still remembered that I replied him with extreme energy! “No! Never ever! They are not my type”. This is how I told him. Well, it seems I had another way round. I am actually falling in love with one of the guy in that bunch. What goes around comes around. Then I asked Nic for a late friend of mine in the past few years in my middle school that we had been tuition together for a period of time. I used to name him, Hi-Ta-Chi. I felt it was fun to get to know him back again as he was lying in front of me at that moment. I’m kind of bored so I text him and he replied but guess what? He had forgotten me. Well. Some people are pretty absent-minded. They might have perhaps don’t even remember what they ate in the past few days. Nothing much that we had chat. The second day I came back from that “unexpected trip”, I text Mr.Hi-Ta-Chi. I wanted to get a guy’s cell phone number which is now that I called my babe. Who knows? When I’m asking for the number thing, my babe was actually beside him. It makes me LoL until now. Jeez… The most embarrass thing in my book of record! Well, forget it! I still can keep my “thick” face for that. Just for you, my babe. X.O.X.O.

I also added Him on the social network – Facebook! Our story had much “blossom” on the net actually. Thanks Facebook! But..Not every guy in the social network can be trusted. Mine is “special case”! hahaha! I don’t use to know new friends on the net unless I know his/her friend. It is extremely dangerous because we can’t predict what might happen to us and what kind of act people nowadays might do to harm us. Conclusion, the most important is SAFETY FIRST!! We should love ourselves more! No one else can protect us at the first place except ourselves!

Then , we chat like what other ordinary new-friends did. However, at that time, I’m getting this kind of clue that I want Him to be more than my BFF. The feeling is just totally different. I can’t describe them in words. If I could, then I would. Thinking about the end of December was just around the corner made me feel lame. One day in the last week of the month, I have come out with an idea to make my holiday to be more exciting and fulfill. Well, what I meant was not about going for a vacation, camping, hiking, shopping, or a trip again …..but it was a working-month plan. Sounds great isn’t it ?? But ….It wasn’t that great as it was to be except for the moment when my love story began in that working-month plan. I need companion to do the working together. It would be bored and dull if I did them alone. So, I have asked and persuade it to some of my friends. I have also asked my babe if He wants to work anyway. He was finding a job too at the moment and maybe because of that, He agrees to consider about the job I’ve told Him. At first, I thought that the plan might fail but somehow, it turned out the way it should be. Just FOUR of US ! and I’m the only flower among the bugs. I hope you guys won’t mind that I have been describing you like that. Well, I don’t mind if I am the only girl. I never thought of it till the day we went for the interview. I still remembered what I have told Mickey the night before the interview. He told me that he was kind of anxious and I told Him “天塌下来由我定”. I realized that He was the first guy that I used this kind of words on. Till now I still love to use it. – Just towards Him.

But before that, FIRST = the transport to the interview place was a problem. I have almost turned out to cancel off the interview because I really can’t get anyone to bring us there. It was the eleventh o’clock. However, at this moment, I have learnt some value. Friends are easy to find but to find friends in helping us when in trouble, it is damn difficult. I started text to every single numbers in my phone which I thought could help me out. I’m sweat whenever new message was sent in. With shaking, sweating hands and fast heartbeats of mine, I opened up and I get rejected one time and another. Finally, my parents found a guy to give us a ride. Luckily!

We passed the interview with flying color even we have to make choices on which job to take. It was in my expectation. I am not arrogant or what. It just that every place needs worker at the end of the month probably. Four of us had our dinner near a place named Gurney Drive, you know, with many stalls and were crowded. It was not more or less like a long air-free food court. The moment that I remember the most was the time when I was waiting for the food, only left my babe and me. He just sat nearly opposite to me at that time. I can’t see His face that clearly because the place we sat was kind of dark. He didn’t say anything but just nodded with smile towards me. I don’t even know how and what to react – just nodded back with a surprised and numbed look. Gosh! Who would know that my babe was going to look and smile at me at a sudden? You can’t blame me! No ONE! Hahah~
