Today is a Monday. A day that I planned to visit a few places. I need to remake my identity card, driving license and safra membership card as i have them stolen last Decemeber.
It took me half a day to get my identity card and driving license remake. By the time I reached Toa Payoh station, it was already 7.15pm. I purposely planned to make my safra membership card last as i knew she was working around the area. I wanted to meet up with her, to let her see me. Unfortunately she decided to stay till eight pm. An workaholic indeed!
Tire of travelling the whole day, i decided to meet up with her some other day. On the way to the train station, i saw the Popular book stall and went in to check if the next release of my favorite japanese manga - Death Note and Naruto were out. Just too bad, I found non.
Time passed fast. I checked my watch and it was already 7.40pm. While going down the staircase towards the direction of the station, I saw long queue at NTUC supermarket. The country was having lottery fever (about 6 million cash prize) at this time of the month.
I joined in the queue in hope of winning that 6 million dollar. At least i had some exiciting news to share with her if i won it. Ten dollar was spent on quick pick. I checked on my watch again and it was already 755pm. At that moment I was thinking of calling her to let her know that i was still around.
In the end I didnt do it as i thought I might add pressure to her if she was not yet done with her work. I purposely dragged my feet to slow down my pace. I was hoping to see her in the station.
"May be she is now on the way to the station. She told me 8pm she is leaving. I should slow down to see if i can walk into her at the station." With that thought, I missed the first train on purpose.
6 minutes later, came the next train and i knew my thought would not happen. I boarded the train......

I didn't sms her the last two days because I was kinda tire and sick. After almost two years without getting a M.C, I finally broke the long run record with a half day MC on 08/02/2006.
With a good rest at home, i was ready to go for my first "Aikido" lesson on 09/02/2006. I thought i could go with kerry, my colleague. But he broke a new to me that he could not go for aikido lesson because of other commitment. Well, he was the one who introdced this fantastic self defence martial art to me after all.
The weather was good when i went out of the office. However the sky became dark and soon I realised that it was dizzling. I was worry of getting wet as I have just recovered from my sickness and also it would not be nice to get wet when today was my first lesson.
So I sms her to see if i can borow an umbrella but she did not reply. I waited for a while and then decided to walk in the rain. I would rather get wet then to be late for my lesson. It was dizzling by then and i was not so wet after all.
At the dojo, i went straight to the toilet to get change. Kerry was not here. I was not sure if i was wearing the attire correctly. What was worse, I could not even tie the belt. Fortunately, a senior was there to help me out.
My class started. I was doing the basic technique, forward and backward roll all alone but with instructor - Michelle guiding me. lt was so tiring after the lesson. Might be because I had missed out my lunch and dinner.
After lesson, I thought I could have dinner with her since she was leaving her office also around that hour. Sad to know, she choose to go back with her friend despite learning that i was very near to her office. I was kinda heart broke.
She called me about 6 min later. Her friend's transport came earlier than her bus. I pleaded her to join me but she refused. I didnt insist on that but changed topic to find out her program during the weekend. After putting down the phone, I felt even more tired. The kannina feeling kicked in. I found myself stupid and disappointed. I just wonder why am I putting myself in such a state.
When I was about to reach home, surprisingly, she sent me sms to check if i have reach home. I was a little overwhelmed and stupidly replied her of what I thought - " I didnt contact u for the last 2 days but it seems such a long time to me."
She didnt reply me. However I had let her know how much i had missed her. I felt better by letting my thought out. Yup.. even if she didnt reply somehow i still felt the joy.
When I thought that everything was doing fine, she gave me a shock the next morning with this message, "You are too nice to me... I can take good care of myself. I only want to remain as friends." I was kinda missing a heart beat when I read the message. I was not sure how to reply her. I tried to pick myself up. There was a dying, loosing hope kinda feeling that was torting me. I tried to hard to get rid of the feeling. I numb myself by concentrating on my work. Yes working real hard and keeping myself busy through the days and weeks.
It was not easy....
