Hmm... He seems so shy and reserved when I saw him, I took a immediate liking to him... quiet guys have an aura of mystery around them. Although he was for...

for one and half day, her heart was hers again until she had news of him. unbelievable, some tears fell again. why? she questions herself and she prays "please let this be a mere infatuation."

this heaviness around her heart, the clutching of it that she feels the pain and tears welling in her eyes, she doesn't like it. how long has it been when she has last felt anything for anyone? suddenly, feeling nothing doesn't seems that bad afterall. it sure is better than these feelings of jealously and possessiveness mixed with uncomprehensible yearning.

Ouch!

Pain stabbed through my heart like a blade through paper. Sad

As I look at him again lying on that hospital bed, my mind went on another roller coaster ride again.

And who's that bitch beside him? Mad

After so many years, he's still such a cassanova... I guess it's in the blood, wonder why I will fall in love with such a bastard anyway?

Approaching his bed, he seemed so eager to hold my hand. I walked to the end of the bed and stood there. He totally ignored that woman's presence and started telling me how he got into hospital.

Designer drugs. Ha.

Commit suicide. Ha.

Happy to see me? I smiled weakly...

Why wun he let me off after so many years? maybe it's just my emotions...

As i was about to take a sip of fresh yet vaguely bitter coffee,I heard a melodious and sweet voice float on the cool August breeze from behind me.Turning my head around casually so as not to evoke any response from my friends at my table.I saw her,sitting at a round table chatting with her group of friends.Although I could not make out what she was saying above the din in the canteen,but the sight of this angel on earth and the sound of her sweet voice suddenly made me realise that love at first sight does exist,even for a sceptic like moi,I almost made an involuntarily smile at her,but I was stopped short by a sudden warm yet pleasant feeling that was rising up to my face and culimating in my ears.Almost on cue,my friends noticed the sudden redness in my face and began to whisper among themeselves while i forgot my cup of coffee and my eyes focused on this angel on earth

hehe Very Happy

------------------
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you on my plate,
I would eat you up and pray the Lord, i put on some weight
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you drop onto the floor,
I would call the waiter over and ask for 1 more.
If I knew it would be the last meal before i go to sleep,
I would sleep soundly knowing you are in my stomach deep.

August. 3pm, right in the middle of a hot summer's day. It's been a whole afternoon since we were out. As I slinked into the comfort of one of the coffee joints couch, I couldnt help but think to myself for a second God knows how dirty this is! Look at those coffee stains! But I didnt care; I was tired and flushed from the scorching sun outside. Shining down mercilessly on our little island Ah thank God for air-con!

Sipping my little cup of iced mango juice (or is it slush?), I was disappointed that it didnt quite turn out as I had imagined it to be. But what the heck! Its chill was enough to snap me out of my drowsiness already. Looking around me, the café was fairly crowded for a weekday afternoon. Probably because NDP was coming up real soon and there were lot of preparations going on at the nearby Padang. Chuckling to myself, I wondered how many of these people were taking an unscheduled coffee break from their jobs

The laughter from the next table jolted me back to reality. I couldnt hear what they were talking about, but it was in a language that I couldnt be mistaken about. An accent so strangely familiar yet comforting. Yes its been a long time. I smiled to myself and turned to my pal, who had been complaining about her drink and the service from the poker-faced server at the counter for the last few minutes. What about, Ive no idea. Interrupting her, I said: Sure feels good to be home again and she stared in confusion. Then she smiled. It was a common sentiment we both shared. No explanation needed.
-------------------------------------------
November. Late fall. The trees are bare now. Staring into my computer screen as I typed, I wondered how many more days before I'll be lounging in that coffee joint again.... how many more days before I am home again. Summer... Surely it ain't that far off?

NaiveGirl SG

Here I am again, sitting in my room with my mind filled with many question marks. Wanting so hard to find the answer, but yet can not. A sigh released...

????? Isn`t it an ironic world that we live in ??????

I harbor the valid fear that I may never meet someone who "loves me for who I am". Someone that will accept my idiosyncracies, laugh with me during my "blonde" moments, and share my embarrassing secrets. In a way, however, I do this to myself. I sometimes hesitate to reveal my true self while hiding behind my ideal image of myself. I want to be loved unconditionally, yet do I truly love myself?! Do I accept myself minus the shopping marathons, make-up, and all else that is superficial?! The world around me can be as superficial as I make it to be. Sometimes amidst all of this craziness - I tend to forget who I truly am - and though outer appearances do matter to a certain extent, (the cynical truth) what is it about me that truly make me a unique and a special individual? I have always been concerned about the state of my appearance. Can I truely be as passionate, grounded, articulate, intelligent and beautiful (inside and out), I idealize myself to be?!

And yet another meaningless question mark on my mind....

Its funny how conversation always turn into girls when two guy friends meet.

"Wah lao, that one very pretty."
"Nah, not my type. Twice my height man."
"Siao lah, pretty means pretty leh. Some tall girls like short guys."
"Yah, and I am a porno movie director."

With a good friend, words come out easy. And you don't have to say that much to bring your points across, no matter what we talk about. Work, girls in the workplace, life in general, girls in general, relationships, girlfriends (his), relatives, girls they know, other friends and their girlfriends.

Funny that I haven't seen him in a year, and yet there wasn't much news. No marriage, no jail, no one night stands. Hehe, I love asking him about these things. I guess boring people just have boring friends.

"What about that one? Ponytail wor, your favourite."
"Wow, sibeh sui. Her boyfriend also sibeh big. Oh shit, look away. I think her boyfriend caught us watching."
"Aiyoh, scared what, look look mah. Jealous then don't bring out lor."

Thats the pal I know. Bold and streetwise in his ways. Many a time he inspire me just to live a little, to let down whatever little hair I have. It was he who showed me this nice little coffe spot. Good for people watching he said.

Time sure passes quickly with good talks.

"Hey, I siam first. Its Grace's birthday today, and I want to surprise her today by cooking dinner."
"Wer lieao... you can cook or not? Need my help?"
"No. Even you help, any reward also must I get. Don't talk coc lah, I cook better than restaurant."
"Yah, and I'm the Chief of Defence Force."
"You not meh? I call you next time I come here."

"UNCLE! TEH PAO DAI!!!", I almost blurted out. Damn. That was close, nearly just embarrassed myself in front of a whole cafe full of people.

Ice-blended coffee, Mochacinno, Frappacino, Crappacino... I was bombarded with a variety of choices. I was thirsty. And my friend wasn't here yet. He had *elevated* himself to the elite kopi drinkers club, graduating from our usual kopi-tiam.

How I missed our usual nonsensical banter. An unusual mix of nonsense, jokes that only we understood and or dreams and lives. Its almost been a month since we last chatted.

Just then, the petite waitress flashed a warm smile and said, "Can I have your order sir?"

"Uh........ Teh Pao Dai?" I said as I grinned sheepishly, lost in my thoughts.

Dear forumites,

I am very pleased to see my thread growing like some mutated potato on a genetic diet and it heartens me to know that not only is it edible, it taste goddamm delicious too! Writing is such a therapeutic experience and frankly, I am sure a lot of us around would prefer to contribute to something more on a ethereal plane rather than offering our 2 cents worth of opinions and arguments.

When I first started out this thread, it was meant to be a sparring match between me and tet, in that our protagonist in the thread will write about our thoughts vis-à-vis the Pacific Café Company while referring to one another. And guess what, we did started off writing there. Thus, it was no fig of imagination when she mentioned that she was typing furiously away and the waitress giving me the evil look. It was pretty cool (to me at least) to indulge on such flights of fiction fusion that this thread was born.

Originally, this thread was supposed to be a continuation of sort. We are free to write about coffee and others but I would insist on a link here. For example, Madman and Pacman had just demonstrated a very good example of what I called a fiction fusion tied up with a link. For Madman, his link is seeing me approaching tet and ticking her off. For Pacman, his link was referring to the 3 of us, Madman, tet and me. However, that does not diminish his thoughts and contribution in any other ways.

Of course, we are still free to post in whatever the devil takes charge of but I would love to see more links in subsequent post. I know this sounds confusing and I apologise for not stating my stands earlier, thus, I hope this does not come too late. Tread this thread like a big virtual community who loves drinking coffee and penning down their lively grey matters.
That aside let me thanks the following contributors to my humble abode,

1) NaiveGirl

For once, you showed that being pretty comes with a brain as well. Or let me rephrase that, when it comes to love, none can quite equal you in expressing it. Give me a link baby, and I will give you a kiss.

2)Lexelle

Keep it up Lex! I have seldom seen you post such stuff and it really knocks me over when I see your posting! Come on, flaunt it and dont hide it!

3) Moose

Glad to see you pal, and not in some war or political threads at that.

4) Dangerguy and Undecided

You guys (or gal for the latter?) really make my day. Pray continue! Love to see more of you chap around!

5) Stingray.

Wei, write more leh!

6) ECK

Bravo. Your dry wit is what this thread is looking for, as well as the localism flavour!

7) jubilee

I damm near wept when I saw your nick. I feel so honoured! Do post more in here.

Cool colette

now that your love one is in here, shouldnt you start to drink coffee again?

9) Both Man

What can I say? I love you guys! And dear paccie, we must meet up one of this daysyou never know when you might need free consultation, ...err...i mean me!

Quick venture out of the topic:
Mr Hata-san:

If you are
1) pretty
2) have a nice pony tail
3) know either coco, elva, buffy, kristen swanson, christy cheung, norika fujiwara,

I might just be able to fit you in my empty schedule.

Just kidding. Thanks for the thread. Its a nice one.

moose,

my ego is as fragile as the next person's, i have insecurites and i get hurt too.

talking of fragile egos, to the one who usually goes: "u there? or wake up colette!"

you're not the person i'm talking about. Smile
neither am i talking about the puppy who's kind of fluffy, nor the shady grey kiddie. only to the guy who used despo to describe me a few times.

My *Teh Peng*(actually its ice blended tea) in hand and a blushing face, I hurriedly slunk back to my seat.

"Quite an interesting place, this cafe," I thought to myself. I surveyed my surroundings as I made my way back to the seat. Some guy trying to study.

A long haired lady with a somewhat frustrated look banging away furiously at the keyboard. And a muscular, stoic chap yakking away with his companion.

"Then again, maybe not so interesting," i murmured to myself.

I plonked down on my seat and quickly withdrew into my own little world. Taking out a pencil and sketchpad from my bag, I decided to draw a sketch of her while waiting for my friend, oblivious of what was about to happen around me.

Hata-san: Thanks for the compliment. Love this Coffee company you have set up here in the heart of the forums Smile

I have long given up being able to be in a cafe all by myself, like what I see in those Japanese serials, where the main character gets to sit alone and be moody while looking cool. Or those European quaint cafes in old postcards, with furniture just old enough to appear well aged but safe enough to sit on.

Back in the army days I had enjoyed being on duty. I was able to walk everywhere in camp by myself, no high ranking officer or even worse, sergeant, to holler at me. I like the feeling of being awake when everyone else is asleep. I like the feeling of total privacy in a public place.

No such luck here. The cafe wasn't crowded, but there were enough people to remind me that this is still a place for other people to hang around as well.

I have never gotten used sitting alone in places where there are others about. Which is why I would take my hat off to the guy scribbling on something. If I had a hat. Must be some guy trying to impress girls with his artistic skills. Whatever works mate. By the way, real man drink coffee. Full caffeine, with or without full cream.

Across over to the window sat an odd couple. Wait, maybe they are not a couple. If I had such a stunning lady sitting across me I would have talked more you moron. Sitting there like you are too cool for words. Wearing that tight T shirt like you have anything to show for. Not that I was going to tell you that in real life of course. At least you are drinking coffee.

Damn, all these hostile thoughts. Its supposed to be a place to unwind and relax. I think I failed in that aspect because I didn't do enough work to warrant relaxing. I better leave.

As I walked through the door I tried to sneak a glance at what the artist was drawing. Hey, not bad, not bad at all. For a tea drinker.
