Delivery finally came, my ice cream and packets of ice lemon tea. Yay! I went back to sleep. Then, I had a dream that the service crew at my workplace was crying. Don't know why.
My landlord woke me up to ask if I'd wanted to have lunch, fried rice with salmon and cabbage. It was nice, another round of homecooked food. Ma said that the maid was beginning to play tik tok with my brother. I did not approve at all.
I got a giant bubble tea, oreo crush. It was massive. After that, I went to catch a movie with Ash. The movie was Spring Song. When we met, I was surprised by what he was wearing, so bright colors. Contrasting to what I wore, a black dress with black leggings and boots.
Spring Song was nice to watch again, especially Ash did enjoy it. Not much to say, except the fact that Ash snuck in pretzels to eat without telling me. No fair. We then head out to Tangs Plaza, my old workplace, Providore.
We talked about different stuff, but that wasn't the highlight of tonight's events. We went over to the cafe, met up with my old workmates, and got dinner and dessert there. Ash kept teasing me, asking since when I ate vegetables. Haiss... I love that man.
Next, after we got chased out, I wondered where to go. He said he was okay to stay out with me, so he asked me where I wanted to explore. He said he knew some bars at around Clarke Quay, and I haven't been there. Bingo, that's where we went.
We talked so much and I saw so much of my own country that I've never seen before. It was so nice. It was like a dream. I'm so happy that I got to do this with him. We walked all the way to Tiong Bahru, getting some mackies there.
During our walk, we talked about our past. About how others didn't like me since I was different. He was the same as well. He mentioned seeing his ex-girlfriend again. And told me about how she had to suffer from her ex.
It was like free counseling, learning how to accept myself, and choose the path that made me happy. He showed me what others did in their spare time, what the world can offer other than just dark clouds. I then asked him if we can explore Kembangan.
He then straight up asked if I wanted him to walk me home. I shyly nodded, he laughed and agreed. I was so happy but I was blushing since I didn't expect him to jump into that question. So, after ice cream, we went to my area.
I told him what happened in my primary school, about me stapling my thumb. About how we celebrate national day, and how it affects students' lives since it's always so noisy.
"Brother! I want to sleep sia! Listen to this, so freaking noisy!" "Huh?! Cannot hear you ah bang, firework so noisy!" He laughed at all those stories, a big smile was on my face the whole way.
As we got down, I got myself some coke zero and a lighter from the near 711. After a few minutes of walking towards my place, Ash asked me if I was just finding an excuse to hang out more with him. I, once again, shyly nodded, after playfully pushing him.
I really want to spend my time with him, when I can. Because I may never get the chance to, once he leaves the country. I think I would break apart, to be alone all over again. He was the first person that is willing to do the things I asked. And he reads me like an open book.
And I may never feel as happy as I am now if he goes. Sure, we promised to be in contact but it won't feel the same. Despite all that, I pushed the pain away and focus on the present time. Because I know it will hurt. So why let it hurt now when I am supposed to be happy with him?
He also asked if this was what it's like, having a younger sister. To which I asked him if this is what it means to have an elder brother. He walked me all the way, and we parted ways. One last awkward silence and he asks if I wanted a hug. I nodded. He gave me the best one yet.
Happy girl signing out,
