Faces In The Halls

If you hadn't met or contacted me in awhile or have not seen my facebook profile, you might as well read this post and finally learn that yours truly has found himself a girlfriend. (unless of course you are the girlfriend reading this post: Hi love! I know your reading this... *giggles*)

Who is she? She's the spunky, interesting, individual who's gone by the name of Ms. Wahidah.
Such a pretty name ain't it?

How i met her?

It's funny because the chances of me meeting her for the first time was like the umpteenth number you can think of to one. It was at the Fall Out Boy gig this March. The story thus far is that I was supposed to go to the gig with my cousin, Alicia and my sister, Gadis. I had a Young Co. meeting the previous morning and afternoon before I prepare myself for the concert so our timings were not coinciding well with each other. Apparently, my family relations going to the concert couldn't wait to get to the concert so they left me behind to get there early.

I had to make my own way there and i had to say that I was pretty pissed about it cause it felt weird going to a concert on my own. I had to do something to make myself comfortable about it and I know there's bound to be a lot of people out there who might have been on their own, so I went by this idea that if i just made friends while waiting in the cue, I could just keep myself amused and meet up with my cousin and sister in the venue itself.

I don't know why it had to her but it was Wahidah and her friend, Priscilla whom i went up to when i went to the concert. I had a packet of cigarettes and a great hair do. I could have joined the smokers outside or talk up to any other person in that concert hall filled with snotty tweens who have gone passed their freaking bed times. Anyways, I walked up to Wahidah and made friends with her and them telling me that they were gig virgins, i told them to stick to me and i promised them a good time. I hope you guys did.

That was our first meeting. Me and Wahidah kept in touch soon after. We went out, watched movies, had lunch and such. She has watched every show that I've been involved in and that honored me a whole lot. She showed me this beautiful abandon airstrip and it was a piece of heaven that fell off and landed near her place (Lucky...). She has taken my breath away more then once every time I've seen her and I've never had anybody take my breath away like she does.

Come 1st December 2007.

It was my only free day before Urinetown, Lasalle's Musical Theatre show opens so i decided to take the time to go out with her and having the lack of cash at that moment in time, I tried my best not to spend any money at all while going out with her and the only free man's entertainment was to go to the library to read, so we decided to do that and since she's never been to the Jurong Regional, I decided to show her around my neighborhood. We ended up watching Hot Fuzz in the Library because we got bored from the books and the DVD I had was the only free movie that was available.

Here's how I initially wanted Wahidah to be my girlfriend.

I had sketch pads with me on that day, on hopes that i would do one of my final assignments before I officially finish the school year. I had this idea of passing notes because as the good boy that i am *ahem*, we are not suppose to make any noise in the library, and perhaps it'd be interesting if I did popped that question by passing her notes. Seems like a good idea so I thought i went ahead for it. But that idea went on a halt for one reason only.

I forgot to bring any pens or pencils to the library. How dumb is that? I forgot to bring any form of writing material to the library so I couldn't go ahead with that idea. I felt like a total idiot when i realized that. sheesh.

We got to IMM after the library and we head out to the western region of Singapore. We were at Jurong Point, at the Toys 'r' Us and we were checking out the price of a rubik's cube.

Here's how I got her to be my girlfriend.

We got pretty tired from the Saturday crowd and from the looks of it, there is no chance in hell of finding a nice quiet place away from the afternoon shopping spree. Wahidah, being her interesting, adventurous self, found a small alcove on one of the cupboards and we sneaked into that small, tight space, just so we can be away from the crowd. After admitting that we are really kind of but really ridiculous to be in that small alcove and no more words were to be said,

I told her how much I really liked her and that after all the times we've went out, I've fallen for her.
She told me that she felt the same way too.

Then I asked her if she would be my girlfriend.

She was hesitant at first because she was afraid that a relationship would ruin the friendship that the both of us shared before i popped the question.

I told her that I will always be there for her when ever she needs me, regardless of me being a friend of boyfriend, for I am willing to be the best that I could for her.

and as you've guessed, she said yes...

It's weird, ain't it? Interesting it might be but I cannot believe that I asked for a relationship, tucked away from a shopping crowd on a Saturday afternoon in a cupboard/rack at Toys 'r' Us. I could have been more romantic, maybe perhaps at the soft toy section or something but the crowd was too distracting and the moment didn't came on any of those places while i was with her. That moment had to come at that point in time.

But all is well. And I've never been happier after a long time.

I love you Wahidah, and i know you've heard these sweet nothings a number of numerous times but I have never met an individual such as you who is so jolly. sweet and warm. You take my breath away every single time like the sky and I'm grateful, thankful that I have met you and that you are in my life.

I'm going to miss you while you're gone but we'll both look at the same moon every night while we are apart knowing that we are together every time we look up.

I stole her away from the faces and told her in the closet my true feelings. She smiled, I smiled and we got lost together within the faces in the halls.
