at first, it was decided to go marina south for steamboat cum bbq. so only i have the luxury of going back home to bathe before the dinner. hence, since it's marina south, didn't wear too nice, 3/4 pants and a sleeveless collared tee, with slippers, tied up my hair in a ponytail as well. marina south mah, no need so nice.
then guess what, when i go and fetch my hubby, he told me they change to suntec city, the steamboat there. i was like, "why didn't u say so earlier?" it was like this attire is so unglam for the venue.
went anyway, i was already in town already and we were already late, they have started the dinner, so no point going back to change. so after we reached there, we sat down and proceeded with our steamboat buffet.
then the thing happen. i was like eating my food, then this guy from the other table stood up and he had to walk past our table to go and get the food. as he turned around, (so dramatic) i saw him. i was taken aback, becos he definitely looks familiar, he has not changed a single bit at all. i knew it was him, Eric Yeo.
i think he saw me too. he slowed down as he walked past our table. but he continued walking past. i knew we both knew what. then the qn popped into my head, 'should i go and call him?' 'what to say?' to some, recognising an old fren is like a perfectly normal thing, juz go and say hi. but i think my jc frens, especially my good fren, Baohua, will know why it feels awkward to say hi to Eric Yeo. pardon my rudeness in putting his surname, cos there were at least 6 Erics in our JC then, so we need to identify all the Erics by their surname, so it was quite natural to call him this way.
on reflection, i think both of us just lack that little bit of fate. in Chinese, they say 'you yuan wu fen'. ok, anyone can read my blog, can't be too frank. i mean i think there were a few opportunities when we could be together, but somehow, we didn't. we just lack that little fate. chemistry, yah, i could say that we did have some chemistry, in fact, more chemistry than the first bf i chose to be with. i dunno how to express further. you know i actually took 15 mins to write this paragraph. ok, to sum up, put it this way, if i could turn back the clock to JC time, i would have made another choice. did i regret? of course, a little. but then again, if we had been together, then i would not have met my present husband, then i would not have married and have two lovely kids. guess that is life, this is fate. who knows? maybe next life, we may be fated.... if there is next life.
but it really feels funny to see him again. it was like i've been wanting to meet some JC frens, but the more i wanted to meet them, the less chances i have of meeting them. so last nite was totally unexpected. and the thing is i'm so unglam, totally unglam, totally ah soh last nite. shit! so paiseh. he must be thinking, 'oh gosh! how come she become so fat, so ah soh?' haha. still laughing now. nvm, i'll get over it. i guess that's life again.
in the end? well, in the end, we didn't greet each other. in fact, i very much wanted to at least say hi before we all leave the place and get his contact number or at least get his namecard. (my dear husband, if u r reading this blog, dun mind hor. just my honest feelings) but then husband sitting beside me. anyway, we were one of the last two tables to leave. i think from the corner of my eye, he seems like wanting to say hi as he walked past our table, but my head was turned, because i was engaged in a conversation with my friend, so it's very rude to just turn away from my friend and looked at him as he walked past. guess that's another lost opportunity between us. after ten long years, we are still missing out on opportunities.
life is funny. ( and i took 50 mins in all to write this blog, one of the longest writing time)
