I AM a procrastinator. This entry was meant to be posted more than a week ago..
So, here goes.
I decided to clean up ma room.. yes.. Cleaning up as in, massive clean up. So ma rm is in a MUCH better condition. No more little stuffs lying around. I was clearing away a LOT of stuffs. I've finally thrown ALL ma secondary sch textbooks that are more than a decade old. Bt I'm keeping only e literature bks. A subject that I found a bore in sch, bt find it e most interesting one now. I wish I had taken it for ma 'O' Levels.
I've discarded most things, along with e unpleasant memories too.. bt the gd ones, still fresh in ma memories..=D
Amidst the things, I came across ma diaries. I was reading em one by one, (e reason y I took more than 2 days to clean). Ma fave, e 1999 diary. Was only 17 then. A lot of things happened that year. (On second thots, every yr a LOT of things happened..) A mix of bitter n sweet. That was e time when I got to know my dream guy.
Ma perfect dream guy to be exact. Hehe.. I'd always been (still am, I guess) picky abt who I like. He fitted e bill perfectly.
So e 17 year old naive gal's criterias list was as follows:-
at least 2-4 years older
rides a scrambler
plays football
eldest in e family
no sisters
prays
at least a diploma holder (or taking dip at that moment)
has a 'Z' in his name
compatible horoscope
deep, husky voice
non-smoker
And e most not impt thing...
lives in Bedok Reservoir
Looking at these now, I can't believe he was that perfect.
he's 3 yrs ma senior
he was riding an XR.. a scrambler. Ma only reason was because ma bros rode em too at that time. I wanted them to have e same interest.
he was playing for a club then. He told me abt his position bt can't recall now.
he is e eldest of 3 siblings
the best part, he has no sister!! Hehe..
Will be talking when, we'd be excusing ourselves..
When I knew him, he was in 3rd yr in IT
So that, his name sounds like mine? Hehe.. Funny part was, when I told ma mum his name, her response... "Apa?? Pizzahut??" I cldn't stop luffing!!
He's a Pisces. Supposedly, ma star sign n his is a perfect match.. But I really doubt that.. N I think Joy agrees wif me too.. Hehe..
I just love hearing his voice.. (when pager, voicemails were in)
I wasn't a smoker then.. =D
I had a crush who was staying in Bedok Reservoir..bt till today, I can't find e reasoning y wld I want ma guy to be staying there too.. Haha
We'd be having late night conversations. Or morning.. afternoon. Long hours of conversations. It's not abt e duration. Bt e things we talked abt. We'd talked abt family, school, life, ambitions, his adventures (he's an outdoor person). And ma fair share of complains towards e ppl ard me. He was a very good listener bcos I did most of e talking.. Hehe.. Bt he never complained of cos. Well, at least not to me. Lucky for me, we didn't talk abt love n sortz. That was a plus point for me.. Hehe.. He didn't talk abt gals. N at sum pt of time.. I thot he was gay.. Hehe..
When he didn't call, I felt as if time was going very slow. All seemed so dull. Bt when I heard his voice over e msg, everything changed. He'd update me of his activities n sortz. Like if he's gonna be away n all..
There's just so many things I can go on with. typing abt him. Bt I guess.. I'd just spare u guys e details.. =D
We made plans to meet, bt never did. E funny thing was, neither of us asked for an exchange of pics. Until 3 years ago. I dunno wat took us so long. When I saw his pic, I cldn't believe wat I saw. He was so alike to e imagination I had of him. Except for e smile. By then, bof of us were already attached. I last contacted him 2 yrs ago. Last thing I saw at his profile in Friendster, he's already married. And I am truly happy for him.
I guess ma case was a classic example of fear of rejection and disappointment. I ponder sumtimes. As much perfectness I saw in him, he must have his own flaws that I will never or want to discover. Like, maybe he's a playa.. He smoked.. He was already seeing sumbody else.. He's a gd listener to many other gals other than just maself.. He cld be lying to me abt his going away.. Maybe as a bf, he's nt that perfect afterall. He'd be a changed person.
Looking back, to think how easier back then to be holding to sumthing wic is nvr in front of u, bt it kept u going anyway. The faith n dream. Although, ma 'Happily Ever After' isn't wif him, bt e experience was indeed a very pleasant one. =D
On the other hand, back then, I wasn't aware of e problems in relationships. All I knew was, how I'd be perfecting ma rship. How I'd be perfect for that sumone. How I'd deal wif problems wifout knowing e consequences. Sumtimes, I believe, ignorance is indeed a bliss. I wasn't afraid of falling.
Till then, I'm on a hunt for that next perfect dream guy.
Who will eventually, be a reality for me to live with..The criterias have changed of cos.
Likewise, I shall fit into his, perfectly.
