Sunday, May 08, 2005I brought Alfiean because it was time he met MY friends for a change. He met Joline and my HGS friends - the very important people in my life. I was a little worried he wouldn't be able to relate to the crowd because we're all 4 years younger than him but he behaved really well and even managed to get along well with the ex's friends who were there too. -_^ So we arrived at the pit and I was so touched because the minute Inez and Farhana saw me, they came running and we were all in this giant, screaming, bear hug of sorts. Farhana then turned to Alfiean and said fiercely, "Do you know that I love her?" Awwww. I heart you too Fana baby. <3 Kesh&Charlie, Hana, Inez, Mariam, Natalie and Amy were there and we spent alot of time just laughing and reminiscing about silly days back in HGS. The funniest being that back in primary two, I had confided in a close friend that I had started growing breasts. Perhaps she was in denial but she broadcasted the news to the whole class and soon after, I was cornered by my entire Malay class who demanded to see my breasts because they couldn't believe that I started growing waaaaaay before them. And you wonder why alot of girls in single-sex schools turn out lesbians. But I digress. I met most of the ex's friends who gave me weird looks upon learning that I was "Md Noh's Nadiah". Alfiean was a little insecure too because he thought I had already been labelled as someone else's. Then we decided to take a walk by the beach. The atmosphere was perfect because we were by the shore and the starry sky was above us. The nearby Full Moon bar was also playing slow songs. I knew he was about to ask me the question. But wouldn't you know it. His ex called. Millions of times. When he didn't answer her calls, she issued him an ultimatum, "Call me back now or you'll never hear from me again". So he did and by that time, the moment was lost. He left the party early in a sulk because he was angry I was talking to fana's brother's friends and I was angry he was still so worried about his ex. Because it was far too late for me to go home, I slept over at Fana's place where again we reminisced about Haig Girls' and the teachers. Mwahahahahaha. They're almost impossible to wake up, the bloody bums. I spent like an hour screeching at them to wake up then gave up and read Sophie Kinsella's Can You Keep A Secret? Then Alfiean sent me an sms. "If you really do love me, meet me within 24 hours" He knew under normal circumstances this would've been impossible because I live in Bedok and he lives in Bukitfuckingpanjangwhichisgodknowshowfar. And so, I had to cancel my trip to JB with Miss Loo which I had been planning for a bloody long time (I'm sorry Serene). I was bloody exhausted because it seems to me that every time we take a step further in our relationship, he finds some stupid excuse to yank me three steps back. I called and we argued further but he remained firm that I meet him if I wanted him in my life. Ashraf sent me to Bukit Panjang that evening even though it was out of the way. So me and Alfiean talked for awhile. And then he brought me home. No, not to do what I know what you guys thought we were going to do.He brought me home to meet his parents. And his dad seems to like me because he complimented the way I spoke and said I came across as an "educated girl". -beams. His sister seems to like me too because she smiles at me conspirationally every time me and Alfiean argue. How about his mother, you ask? Ah well, you win some, you lose some. But nevermind, because this long and seemingly pointless entry has a happy ending. In his room, he finally asked me to be his. And I said yes. I know it may sound like he's too sensitive for blunt, tactless me. But he makes me laugh. Besides, you can't have everything the way you want it. So. Goodbye singledom. Hello newly-attached-me. I hope the euphoria lasts because I haven't been this happy for a very long time.
