A new page - new love story

31 July 2012, This date is going into history. In fact it could even turn into a story blot of a million bucks romantic screen play. The story of US. What a beautiful Tuesday. I decided to dress up and follow my friends to RMIT, intentionally plan to surprise you and secretly hope to see you again, in person. So here I went, searching for a cupcake at 8 in the morning. Yeah, most of the cake shops would open around 10 plus. So it happened that Cupcake Catwalk became the only store that stocked cupcakes that early. We ran their and I was given several option. Actually, they were all interesting combinations, Apple base with whipped cream topping / Orange base with poppy seeds topping/ choco base with coffee on top. So I picked the Apple base and happily walked out of the store with the letter “W” – personal touch from me, hopefully could help to sweeten up his appetite >v<

The school was big, and the waiting part was like eternity. From 9 til 10 something, I was dragging from the lab to the cafeteria, to the convenient store, with the cupcake moving from this chiller to another. Luckily, emoji app was there to accompany me – a recommended time killer it is ;) So by the time I ran out of patience, I stood up from the sofa of Building 1, next to Shop&Go, ready to grab the god damn cupcake and finish on my own; I walked through the elevator. And don’t know what’s in me that made me turn my head to the left, just in time to see somebody looked a lot like him waiting for the lift. I must say a lot like him, and it was HIM, indeed (duh!!!) I stared at him twice, like I could not believe in my eyes anymore (damn, why twice?!) And he definitely saw me, but not sure if he could recognize me =)))) I was in such a loud dress, in bright blue color with white polka dot =)))) He was wearing the spectacles in his avatar lately; black pants and baseball tracksuit. (so cute :-“) And guess what, I just walked straight to the store, no looking back, too afraid to do it, all the way to the back wall!!! And regain my breath! When I calmed down, I was like, Sh!t, what just happened? Why was he there, he’s supposed to be at the other building, right? And why the right timing, why did I turn left, why he turned left too? How could it be that we met the eyes? That was a real turbulence!


But soon I was able to track my calmness. So I rushed to transfer the cutie cupcake to Shop & Go, texted him to go down and take it. He’s having a meeting! T_T So around 10-15 minutes like that I was walking up and down in the store, aimless. Soon, my patience was down again, and I followed An to the cafeteria in building 1. We sat there for a while, when she chit chat with some -god -know –who girl. 11h, time slowly flied, right at the moment I thought to give up and leave, he called! I was like, wait, was it him who really calling!? So I picked up, and he was asking where the cupcake was =))) How cute, I rushed back to Shop &Go (damn, why are the places located so far from each other >”<) When I was about to enter the shop, as I spotted his hair from far, I caught a glimpse of Nam. They were together!!


Damn, so I quickly covered myself behind a skinny tree nearby. Well, that’s the only tree in the grass field, outside of the shop!! Right when they turned around and almost saw me. Actually, I didn’t even know if they had seen me, my dress was super outstanding =___=. But as they were stepping out, I gotta move to another tree, which was across the walking path!!! Who cares !! As they were talking about something fun (I bet the main character should be me Y_Y), I was constantly moving from this tree to another one along the road, even trembling myself (luckily nothing happen, or else I’d dig a hole and jump >”<) So by the time I reached the largest bush I could find, they were strolling down to the cafeteria. It’s humorous as the scene resembled Mission Impossible or some sort of Spy-inspired movies =))) I had no idea whether they knew what was going on, but it’d probably be a successful movie scene should it had a chance to be one. Heart pumping, close face-offs, you name it~

From that moment on, it seemed that peace came back to town. Not yet until I was wandering around the Sport hall, curiously pointing at those soccer players playing at the central stage. Right at the second I was looking at the very far left corner, and thinking to myself, how funny if those 2 guys sitting over there were them. Well, look twice again, THAT WERE ACTUALLY THEM!!! Now I really have admit, I don’t know what was happening then that there was a extrememly hight frequency of us to see each other in this 8 buildings area called RMIT!!! And why exactly at that time, that place, we met the eyes again!!!! Now this is getting really intriguing. An and I were rushing to the restroom and basically she tried to calm the crazy monkey with tons of butterflies in stomach- me – from jumping around, maniacally. I’m thrilled because this gotta mean something!!!

 The best has yet to come, he texted me, asking whether I made or bought the cupcake. I was bushing around, until he revealed that the Cakewalk store was at the vicinity of his crib!!! Now that’s gold in the sands of info so far. Guess what, I pass by that road every single day! So there should be a super high chance, we could bump into each other again <3

This should be a wrap for today, I can sense that there would be a lot more to come ^^

Before year of the Dragon

I met a dragon right before the year of the Dragon, now how crazy is that?

We first met at the Love Actually party and honestly, all the impressions i had about him is a guy who's good at mixing, and that's it, no further, no attention, just stop there. Soon then, we started to exchange a message or two on facebook, phone number, and today, a-date-out.

He, generally speaking, is just not my ideal type, but as I'm not ideal, why would I want to bother such luxury? It all began with a phone call at the middle of the night. A text came to ask how I was doing, curiosity killed the cat, my identification call took 40 minutes and resulted in a date out today. Frankly speaking, I don't expect anything, too many failure brought the fascination of finding the right one out of me. But I gave it a shot anyway. It turned out quite nice. We spent like 4 hours to talk and share thoughts, perspectives, advices and other no name stuffs. Standing tall and stick-liked, he's mature, easy going, open minded, with sensibility and great sense of humor. A good partner for never ending conversation of all kinds. We actually found a number of common interests, mostly in entertainment. Both love Barney in HIMYM, 500 days of Summer. He likes yellow and me going for navy. I am the first child when he has older bro and sis. Both enjoy studying abroad and in the end getting a job in here. He planned to live in NZ, well soon...

Then we share our believes, our jobs, stress causes, family issues, a bit of relationship matters. Quite compatible, he seems caring, worry-free and understanding. We wrapped it up with a bowl of rice noodles in crab gravy.

There were laughs, and joys, and moments when we met the eyes.

This looks prospective but I can't tell if I am ready. I have moved on, but I don't know if I could trust my feelings again. I'm afraid that things will fall apart, that little happiness could hardly last long, afraid that high expectation comes with the risk of disappointment. Saying I want to live for the moment, but deep down feeling doubtful about the consequences. Wishing that I just leave all behind and get away from those silly sentiments, instead of facing the brick wall to be broken. Couldn't it be more lame that I'm secretly crying for a hero, though self-talking nobody else would save me but my own. Trying to be brave, just to realize how easily the mask could drop. Telling myself to resist the fantasy, yet unconsciously looking for the unreachable. Wondering if it is human's nature to be forever selfish and insecure ...

Enough with the dark, time to turn off the light. good night headaches...
