The lights were shining brightly and beautifully on Orchard
Road. The number of Santa Claus' plying the streets though few,
added festive cheer to all those around. For me, it was just going
to be another lonely Christmas. No, it's not that I like this type
of feeling. Nor am I used to it. But that faithful day, one year
ago, I suffered a break up with my ex-girlfriend.
I wasn't really looking forward to another relationship until
someone proved me wrong...
It was a Christmas Eve, I was with a couple of my best pals
chilling out and playing pool. We were having a good time. There
was James, Matt and Leon. Even though, we didn't have plans to go
party, it didn't matter as long as we were having fun. Then she
came in; she was dressed casually in red shirt and denim jeans. She
was with 2 friends. I noticed that she put her name on the waiting
list, as the tables were all fully booked.
I decided to concentrate on the game. But my thoughts held
different plans. I liked the way this girl carried herself. She
exuded a certain sort of confidence in her. No don't get me wrong
not the arrogant type. Her silky, long blonde hair looked great on
her. Frankly, I think that her skin was also great and it
complimented her overall appearance nicely. They say that the eyes
are the windows to a person's soul. Well in this case, the 'light'
in her eyes was what captivated me most.
Slowly, as time passed, I noticed that she was just opposite of our
table. Ours was table 6 while hers was 9.This time, I really
couldn't play the game. I missed many shots. Leon noticed my
"absence".
"What you looking at man?" He turned to look in the direction my
eyes were fixed at.
"Oooh, chio bu ah." He smiled mischievously. "Hey guys, look who
Clint is looking at." Leon pointed.
"Huh? Oii don't lah. Make people pai seh only." I tried to divert
their attention but wasn't successful.
When we played till our hearts content, we booked out. I hastily
paid up, placed my IC into my wallet before I caught up with the
rest. Jovial laughter and chatter filled our conversations. The
festive season was here to stay! We decided to head to the food
court to grab a bite. I ordered a drink and was about to pay when I
discovered to my horror, that the IC I had placed in the clear
plastic cover of my wallet wasn't mine!
Nevertheless, I quickly paid up before heading to the table. I
thought that maybe I was dreaming. I rubbed my eyes and blinked a
few times to make sure. But I wasn't dreaming! The face was that of
the girl I was admiring! Then again, she looked so sweet; I
wouldn't mind keeping her IC alittle longer. However, my conscience
worked on me and I knew what I had to do...
