Hi, I rarely do this type of blogging so please give me a chance and let me share and show some love to my special one which I have known him since I was 14.
We were schoolmates, never talk nor smile to each other. I remember him being the loud one in school and every girls would hate him because of his loud mouth and he's the one that always made fun of other people's appearance. When I was 14, my favorite type of boy will always the one with fair skinned, spiky hair and the quiet ones. Looking back at all my high school crushes, it seemed to be the opposite. Dark-skinned, very mat-ish looking and not even close to good looking. I wasn't considered the popular girl in school but I remembered talking to different guys each day on the phone. Some were weird, like asking me what was my favourite subject in school and if I had a cat at home? Afraid of being labelled a bitch, I just continue with the conversation.
Before Shahrul, I was with 3 guys, I don't know if I considered them as my ex-boyfriends because one, we never go out as a couple but we double-date. Two, we never have this intimate session going on and third, our relationships were always about talking on the phone and pretended not to know each other in school. That's it. I was only 14. One of them even gave me a limp bizkit CD to show his 'love' to me. When I decided to ignore him and somehow 'ditched' him, he went berzerk like playing pranks on me, spread some shitty rumours, ganged up with his close buddies and embarrased me in front of the class. Yes, I get that alot.
Then it was my 14th birthday celebration. That was the first time I talked and laughed with you. I remember what you wore on that night. I've gotta thanked my dad for the lovely pictures. We can still looked back and laugh to ourselves. Since that night, you started calling me and asked to hang out with you and even asked if I can help out with your D&T projects.
One fine day, you called me and asked if I would like to join you for a movie. I asked, there's many girls out there you can ask, but why me? Still holding on to his ego, he claimed that he have asked every girls in his class but everyone reject his offer. Oh well, except me.
Our first movie was Men In Black:II. Watched it at Plaza Singapura because of the couple seat. We had dinner at Macdonalds all the way at Eunos because we can get discounts as Razin(yes, that dude!) was working there. We shared either a 6pc or 9pc nuggets meal because I was shy to eat a burger in front of him.(But eventually I found out that he barely had enough for 2 meals, aww... ) Then came the last part, he planned that we should walked from Eunos all the way to Chai Chee so that we can have a long conversation along our journey. It was funny because the whole area was fucking dark. Thank god, nothing happened to me but I remembered my parents went hysterical because I wasn't home at 8pm. Yup, my curfew was 7pm, then.
On 26th July 2002, he asked if I want to be his girlfriend, I was 'What? Huh? I don't know?' and I swear my heart was beating so damn fast! He called me again and said just forget about the whole issue. For two days, we didn't meet or talk to each other. I was at my sister's house over at Jalan Bahar while he worked his ass off at Burger King.
Then on 29th July, I agreed. You know, just give it a shot and yup just follow with the flow. There were a bunch of his friends which doesn't seem to like us being together and his ex-girlfriend who always gave me this bitchy look like as if I snatched him away from her but luckily she didn't bash me inside the girl's toilet.
Still remember how you kissed me on the cheek, still remember where we held our hands and I still keep the neoprints that we took together!
Looking back, we have seen each other grew up, our honeymoon period, stupid fights, some random girl trying to break us apart, parents disapproval of you going out with me, crushes which leads to huge arguments, who's our real friends throughout,brought me to gigs, your first bike experience, NS period, break-ups and I'm glad that we overcome all this together.
I hope this entry made you smile like I did because it brought me alot of sweet memories and no one knows how it feels to be us. ;)
Someday we will get married, have cute kids, grow old together and we can share this story to our children.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Shahrul for being such a wonderful friend to me. You were my confidante and my life booster. I can never thank you enough for what you have done for our relationship and the sacrifices that you have made just to make me smile. You're one of the most important people in my life, ever in my world. Thank you for accepting my flaws, and love me exactly for who I am, when I'm in good mood, bad mood, in my ugly state, being late all the time, not knowing how to play sports properly, when I refused to exercise despite you giving me the proper gear cos I keep complaining, not having any talent in particular, being klutzy and the pms-y moments.There's just something about you that I'm scared to lose because I know I won't find it in anyone else.
Thank you for being you. :)
