Let me tell you all a story.
____________

Once upon a time there lived a girl and a boy named John who studied in two different schools. On several occasions, she had seen him with his friends and similarly, he had seen her with her friends. She knew who he was, and he knew who she was, but they never said 'hi' to each other.

One fine day, she found that she had some problems with her Math, and so she decided to take up tuition. She began attending lessons at a tuition centre. A week later, John also found that he was having some problems with Math and also decided to take up tuition. By sheer coincidence, he took up lessons at the exact same tuition centre as her, with the lessons scheduled at the same time. Here's what happened on his first lesson.

(on entering the room with his friend)
(teacher busy in conversation with the girl and her friend)

Teacher: hello, you are...?
John: Err... John.

He looks around the room and sees the two girls. He finds one of them familiar, then soon links her to where he knew her from. However, because they had not known each other personally or talked to each other before, he felt a bit shy to say 'hi'. He wanted to, even almost about to, but the word never came out. One of the girls ( the one who knew him from somewhere as well) seemed to recognise him, but because he looked as if he did not know her, somehow, she did not say 'hi' as well. As his eyes met hers, they seemed to linger there for a little longer than necessary, as all this was passing through his mind.

At the next lesson a week after, as he entered the room, she was earlier than him, again. He tried to catch her eye, and hope that his courage would do the rest. Strangely, her eyes never met his that day.

A week later, as their lesson was coming to a close and as she was packing up her stuff, she turned round and looked around the room. He was so sure that in that few moments she would have seen him. He was looking down at his stuff, initially, but when he felt her eyes on him, he looked up at her. For a millisecond (or maybe it would have seemed longer), his brain was already telling him: say 'hi'!, and for another millisecond, the word was already on its way down to his mouth. But sadly, two milliseconds were too long. The very next moment, she turned away, leaving that awkward moment in both of their memories for another week.

Very often, people may think of a lot of things in their head, but because they never vocalise it, others never know what they are thinking. Communication can be such a beautiful thing, yet the lack of it could also lead to awkward moments. And so John learnt something that day.

And so I went to watch Secret with my sister just now. It was nice! To me, that is. haha. actually, a lot of movies I see in the cinema always seem nice to me, maybe because of the big screen and comfortable chairs and drink to go along with it. Oh yes, the atmosphere and the audience plays a part too. =) The girl whose name was Sky was quite pretty, some might say prettier than the lead actress? However I feel that if she were to act the role of the main actress' maybe it would not have been that nice. Ahh crap. What matters is it was a nice show with some nice songs to me. =D


Oh yes. Happy Birthday Mum! hope you like the blouse we got you. x)












Pretty.
