AT LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The A levels examination is OVER!!!
Over~ Over~ Over~ I¡¦m so happy that it¡¦s finally over. I raced
all the way from school to the National Library to meet Wee Teck.
We had agreed to meet and celebrate together the end of our A
levels examination.
I spotted Wee Teck from afar. Haha¡K Actually it wasn¡¦t difficult
to spot Wee Teck at all. Being almost one head taller than most
people, it was impossible to miss him.
His face lit up at the sight of me. I practically flew to him and
grabbed his hands. We like two crazy person jumping, screaming and
laughing outside the National Library. *Exam is over. Exam is
over.* Only when other people started to cast weird stares at us,
that it dawned on both of us that we have just acted
insanely.
When we finally calmed down, we were breathing heavily and still
holding onto each other hands. Feeling awkward, I immediately
pulled my hands out of his and looked shyly down on the ground. I
could feel heat slowly creeping up my cheeks. I must have looked at
the ground for quite sometime, cause Wee Teck said:¡¨I didn¡¦t know
that the ground actually has the capability to hypnotize a
person.¡¨
Upon hearing that, I burst out laughing and lifted my hand to slap
Wee Teck on the arm. It was at this moment, he caught my hand and
held it tightly in his and looked deeply into my eyes.
¡§Poh Choo, I¡¦m not very good with words but there¡¦s something
I¡¦ve been wanting to tell you. During the exams period, I didn¡¦t
get to meet you at all. But images of you would float into my mind,
your mesmerizing smile, the mischievous twinkle in your eyes; I
even hear your voice in my sleep. The whole time I was so afraid
you¡¦ll forget about me because I know in this lifetime of mine,
I¡¦ll never be able to forget you. Will you be my girlfriend? Will
you, Poh Choo?¡¨
¡§Ouch!¡¨
¡§Huh? What kind of answer is ¡¥ouch¡¦??¡¨
¡§Ouch, cause you are hurting my hand!¡¨
¡§Oh!¡¨ *Letting go off my hand* ¡§I¡¦m so sorry, Poh Choo. Are you
ok?¡¨
¡§Yes¡K To both questions.¡¨
¡§What both questions? Are you sure you are alright?¡¨
¡§Yes, I¡¦m fine. And Yes¡K to the first question you asked me just
now.¡¨ º
¡§The first ques¡K¡K REALLY?! You will? You will be my girlfriend?!
I love you so much Poh Choo!¡¨
¡§Hahaaha, yes I will, Wee Teck. Cause I like you too.¡¨
We went to the hawker centre and celebrated the end of the A levels
examinations and the beginning of our new found relationship on a
bowl of our usual ¡¥tau huay¡¨.
¡§Uncle, why did you add so much sugar syrup in my ¡¥tau huay¡¦
today?¡¨
¡§Where got? It¡¦s the same lah. I always put the same amount of
sugar syrup one. Hahaha, must be today got girlfriend already,
that¡¦s why exceptionally sweet issit?¡¨
