Have you ever admire somebody to the extend that you think you are in love with him/her before? Did anything stupid that you would grin and laugh at your own stupidity every time you share them out? Well, been there, done that. And the most interesting is that I have a buddy who is a partner in crime and a love rival at the same time.
Hmm..Nice Shoe...
It was this girl that we both met during our Form Two/Three (forgive me, my memory do tends to fail me lately). Well, it’s not exactly that kind of met where you say hello and shake hand. This is where you- saw- somebody- for- the-f irst- time- and- feel- like- want- to- know- her/him- but- never- had- a- chance kind of met.
She was praised by the tutor because her composition for Bahasa Melayu was very good and the tutor has shared the composition with us by reading out loud. I remember seeing her smile and blush at the same time. At the exact moment, my heart skips a beat. And when I was going to share it with my buddy next to me.. I found him having that kind of lovey dovey look..well..more like a love rival look.
Yeah, yeah, i know. It’s the hormone raging, and for some of you, this is what you call puppy love. Well, I wouldn’t call that by the way because I don’t think she even know there’s two moron in her tuition class that’s in love with her anyway. But one thing for sure, since that day, me and my buddy has been very motivated to go to tuition class.. 
As the time pass… then come the Valentine. It’s my first time getting something for a girl, and my present come in a series of recorded love songs in a cassette while my buddy decided to buy a box of chocolate.
Of course not this box of chocolate..
Our plan was to intercept her during her walk home and gave her the gifts. And unfortunately, although we both cycled and followed her from far, we didn’t have the guts to confront her. And what these two chickenshit did? We throw the gifts into her house front lawn and sped off. Didn’t even wait to see whether she came out to retrieve the gifts or not.
I don’t quite remember what happen after that but I think she no longer attend the tuition classes a few weeks after that. Kinda heart broken.. me and my buddy. However, i think experience like this is what make us feel that our teenage years are sweet. And we still laugh at ourselves for chicken out that day.
Welcome to the chicken club!!
Well, the reason I’m posting this because I found the girl again through the friendster network. I’m glad she is living a normal life with a boyfriend now.
And no.. my heart didn’t skip a beat this time. Because my heart has been dug out by my own Bosslady for her safekeeping.. (but i think she already cooked and ate it. hehe.. just kidding)
And buddy, if you are reading this.. thanks for being there all these while. Cheers mate!
And to the girl, if you happen to read this.. not sure how many gifts you received before and whether you still remember receiving a cassette and a box of chocolate many years ago, just hope that we didn’t spooked you from that time long ago…
