They say curiosity killed the cat.....
I hope this one lives.

Just the other day I was in the canteen,
and somewhere, over the beautiful rainbow,
over the sea of greasy heads bobbing about,
I caught sight of my galpal's beautiful gleaming hair.

She was waving and gesturing wildly to me.

okkkkkkayyyyyyy~~~~~is she having a fit?

Naturally,
like a good fren shd,
I rushed over to her.
Her eyes were gleaming.

She bent and whispered excitedly into my ears

"That's him!!!!"

It took me a moment before her meaning sunk in.

u mean....that's HIM?

OH SHIT!

Excitedly,
I walked around the tables hoping to get a good look.

I only managed to catch his side view before he disappeared into the crowd.

Disappointed,
I looked back at my galpal.
She shrugged in helplessness.

Nevertheless!!!
A girl still has to eat.
And after being denied something that seemed like it is well within her grasp,
it is understandable tt she loses all apetite

:(

So I got myself a pot of soup that was strongly recommended
and then on my way back to my seat....

In chinese we call it
"huang tian bu fu you xin ren"
In english we call it
"perseverence pays off"
In singlish we call it
"wa kao!!! Heng gao lao sai!"

But whichever way u choose to call it,
lady luck was smiling at me.
And he came back.

This time,
he was walkin in my direction,
probably for utensils,
but who the hell cares for the reason anyway?

God can whisper to him to retrace his steps to look for a stray strand of hair on the floor
for all I care.

All that matters is tt it was a full frontal view,
of the person behind the brain tt has kept me highly amused.

**Yelp!!

And he looks like an adorable elf!!!

I was sorely tempted to walk right up to him and ask him to
pass a message to santa that he is quite a jerk,
making me promises of beautiful surprises and joy,
promises that he never kept.

Probably cos he's too old and senile.

*smiles

Somehow,
I thot he would look something lidat.

She says that he is intimidating.

I used to disagree,
when I used to read his thoughts and opinions on cyberspace
when they were available.

But then,
after that day,
I suppose I can't help but agree.

Like an elf perhaps.
Approachable facade, only to hide the real distance beyond.

Or,

Cold facade, only to disguise a humorous, uncommon mind,
capable of making the most neglected observation of the insignificantly significant.

I cld never figure out which is which.

Currently,
I'm entertainin the thought of stalkin him to discover the truth.

It cld be quite fun

:X

LOL!!

And that will be the day the cat exhausted its 9 lives.

Me---ow!!

I guess somehow,
there's this unspoken pact tt dictates a certain level of distance
That somehow,
interaction shd be restrained to cyberspace.
And I guess somehow,
that will be the way it will be kept.

Cos more often than not,
reality always falls short of expectations.

Cos expectations,

will always be beautiful,

always untainted,

always

perfect.
