Boy Meets Girl














After a good night's sleep, I woke up early in the morning to the beep of my cellphone. I opened my eyes to find Lily's message, "sorry that I fell asleep last night, keke! Alright, I'm free today."

Within a short time, I was out of bed, ready for the day. I probably hadn't felt such joy in a long time, in fact I couldn't remember the last time I felt so good because I, had actually managed to date Lily out! Later in the evening, I spent a good few minutes trying out the wardrobe, not wanting to embarass myself. Half an hour before our meeting time, I was already waiting at Bugis MRT station, my heart beating uncontrollably fast. After a short 10 minutes, I grew anxious and decided to take a short walk before I drive myself crazy.

Half an hour later, I walked back to the control station, still feeling nervous. The last time I felt this way was when I first met my ex-girlfriend, but this time I was waiting for someone else, constantly wondering if she would turn up. It wasn't until 15 minutes pass the meeting time when she finally arrived, dressed in a white cotton blouse, short black skirt and white sandals. Lily looked beautiful that night. I took her to a restuarant for dinner and we had a good time together. After dinner, we walked down to the Esplanade where I took her for a boatride around the Singapore River, literally touring her around, sharing bits of history I know about my own country.

Then by midnight, I sent her home. It was an unforgettable evening for the both of us, and we decided to meet again some other day.
