Singapore True Love Stories - A Box of 101 Roses and ..... [part 1/2]

june reminded me of romance, holidays and money. romance blossomed and romance withered.  holidays after a hard-boring exams. money earned from odd-jobs. june means a beginning of a new semester of course in poly.  it also means freshmen orientations. i was very involved in TP school activities till the extent it nearly jeopardise my diploma. the last orientation is also my last relationship. yes, the last one which left me single till now. this is probably the most detailed regret that i ever had( refer to archives). detailed 'cos i kept a journal of it. but i wrote a brief one.  yes, this is my love story.

i started keeping a journal of this relationship when we are together for about a month. it all happened that night after TP's 10 anniversary celebration on 30th March 2000, i was dancing in the triangular garden (if you can remember there's this pathway that looks like a airport runway at night) when the music blasted loud through the stage. this girl came up and asked me if i could helped her video-taped something.( she saw me video-taping during the GL camp.) let's called her, D. initially i thought it was a joke. but i agreed.
it was aprils' fool day when we went to changi to video-tape the lifes of changi. Interviewed a few people, took some pictures. not to mention we had the famous nasi lemak for dinner. poor D. she was bitten by alot of mosquitoes. We went walking through the famous Ah Gua backlane and carpark, holding hands( hey~ i was rather timid by ah guas). it was very late by the time we took a bus back to her place. yes, xiaoqiang never lets a girl goes back home late alone despite that singapore is a very safe country. i was chased by stupid stray dogs on the same night.

2nd April,
i was watching a japanese drama, Long Vacation that's showing this scene where the female lead is thinking should her call the male lead. and the male lead is thinking should him call the female lead. ..bla bla bla.. i was thinking the same thing,  D calls me. you can say it's pretty coindence, but we ended the conversation pretty fast. this time round i called her again and went beat around the bush before asking her out to Changi Airport( what a dumb place to ask a girl out, at least this what i think now).

"You wanted me to go?" D asked.
I wanted to say yes. but in the end, i was at the Changi Airport myself, studying for exam............ D turned up unexpectedly in the end.
the next day saw  a Burger King's ad that says 50cents for a breakfast meal if you are a M1 subscriber. what a bargain. and i called  D and asked if she would like a BK breakfast as i am on the way to school. I was never on the way in any sense. there's no BK along the way either. the nearest BK is the one in tampines. bought her breakfast.  Feel so great. and since
then, we have numerous phone chats all the way till wee hours. we meet almost everyday. it was amazing that we can engaged in several topics to talk. anything......
