3 years ago, on 23rd apr, i was on my first bilateral game overseas. And it was Langkawi..... little did i expect that, that gonna mark my new journey with someone i'm in love with till today...
3years ago, on the morning of 24th apr, heading towards the game centre, i boarded a bus, chartered for all players, only to realise that there ain't any empty seat left for me. embarrased and a little lost with many guys on the bus, someone stood up, and offered his seat to me and my snr player. didnt even say thank you for the seat offered, i moved in to the seat by the window, and looked outside throughout the bus-ride. occasionally listening to the conv between the person who offered the seat to me and my snr. as i alighted from the bus, and preparing to carry my backpack filled with timers and all, the same person offered to help. declining his help but conversation between us continued. as he conversed in english, i answered in malay..... walked side-by side, till we parted for our different game room... no names being exchanged....
couldnt deny that, my thoughts were still with him, a quick looked out for him after my game ended as i did not take the bus back to our hotel.... and so, the matter rest......
dinner at the eagle parade. enjoying the scenic dawn. taking pictures in between passer-by, i saw him again. this time a little distracted as he commented while my picture was being taken. blushed. i walked behind him, as he spoke to my another senior, basically just being reserved. exchanged smiles and short conversations, we separated again to our different dinning table. but, it wasnt long. the queue to the drink area, started it all again. mischieviously telling him not to cut queue, only to realise, there wasnt any cups left.... haha!!... i was being teased, eye contact, smiles, when i walked pass his table to get my food....
what hit it all, was the photo i took when he took his medals. that is where, i asked for his name, when conversations happened again in the sheltered area while waiting for the prize-giving. teasers in the bus. until, the exchange of email address, to enable me to send him his photos. and the night ended for us.
in the morning of 25th apr, which is today, 3years ago.... i looked out for him during breakfast, but, he only acknowledged me once, probably rushing to get his stuffs down. and at the airport, he was busy attending to the luggage check-in, while i only observed from far..... while waiting for check-in, as i enjoyed my drink and cake at starbucks, i was approached by him again, this time for a photo together "can i take a photo with the scrabble players?" the rest of my team declined, except for one, and i felt saved at that moment... i could feel the blush on both of my cheeks. a pleasant surprise i would say. (turning my head to the left now, looking at that photo) *smile*
as we board the aircraft, a candid photos were taken between us.... and gotto admit that, there is a little attraction towards him, as i will occasionally glanced at him..... and so, the "honeymoon" at langkawi ended....
his photos were e-mailed to him the very same day i got home....
26th apr....
he started the conversations between us through yahoo messenger. and it lasted the whole 8hours..... including arranging for a lunch date. and it continues till today; many lunch dates, one day date, half day date...... and hopeful for many good years ahead.....
and i am so in love with him, the one who thought that i'm a filipino. which explains his conversation in eng with me at the beginning. the one who thinks i'm a snob, for not thanking him for the seat offered. and also the one, whom, i feel his love all these while. who pampers me. who is always there most of the time when i needed someone. who patiently entertains my nonsenses. who is my everything and stays in my heart all this while.... thank you dear.
