Sweet Memories

If any one of us has never been through a broken hearted moment in your love relationship, then you better get down on ur knees and thank the good God for excluding you from this test of life. For those of us less lucky ones, I think you will agree with me that the hardest part of breaking up is the sweet memories that remains. Many a time I wish I could rip out my brains and remove those sweet-turned-bitter memories, but alas, it is meant to stay to forever torture my soul. I started out wanting to write a guys-bashing article, but decided that's not me today..so instead I'm gonna tell you about the 5 sweetest memories I ever have with all my exsssss. Yeah there are plenty of them until I can't keep count (** based on this my mum says my Maths is LOUSY **)

1) In Form 6, I got a call from a guy and before I realised anything, he and his bunch of friend starting serenading me with "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"..very loudly too I must say. Honestly it was embarassing at that time coz my dad was sitting just next to me obviously not too pleased that some bunch of nutcase were singing off-tune song to me. It ended with his best friend saying to me "Hope you understand his heart intention". At that point I was already tomato-red and contemplating banging down the phone, so all I said was "Uh..ok..bye". Hahaha, that must have tore his heart...but no worries, he went on to become my 1st bf :)

2) As me and my friends were frolicking in the waters of Redang one day, our sight chance upon a group of divers preparing to go out to sea. My eyes zeroed in on one cute looking dude (thank God for contact lenses else I would have missed him!!) and there was instant chemistry between us. So busy was he looking at us that he stumbled and fell but quickly arose with the sweetest looking smile. That night we met again, and alone together we sat on the beach under the stars - 2 strangers who ironically comes from KL but meets in Redang. The stars were especially plenty that night, and the sound of waves beating on the shore was calming. The sweetest thing that night was definitely his voice and his smile and the laughter we shared. Awwww....one of my best of best memory ever. Needless to say, he became my 2nd ;)

3) There was a period when I was working real late into the nights. BF #5 who was not my bf yet at tht time once called to ask if I wanted anything to eat for dinner. I was really busy and not interested with food, so I told him no need. Not long after tht I got a call from him again asking me to meet him outside the office. Feeling tired and irritated, I was gonna go out to give him a piece of my mind but before I can open my foul mouth, he handed out a bag containing Choc Milk, sandwitch and candies. "I don't wanna bother you and I will get lost after handing these to u. But u gotta eat something or at least drink some milk. I'm worried abt ya". So foul mouth became melted heart....(women are so easily conned dun u think!)

4) I once had a guy that stirs my drink for me when it's hot to cool it down for me.That was adorable. Then he would laugh at how bad I handled my chopsticks, and scoop my noodles up and fed me. That was captivating. When I worked late at a customer's site, he would purposely work late too so he could remain online and mentally support me. When it's over, he would come pick me up for dinner. That was supportive. When we were at a park and it started to rain, he carried me into the rain, and dance with me. That was wet......

5) And my all time favourite memory of all...drum rolls...when my Sony Ericsson K700i fell, he picked it up. What's so great u may ask? Haha...the problem was that it fell into a public toilet. Not a sitting toilet, but a squatting one. The type where the hole goes straight down. This particular hole was small and surrounded by suspicious looking brown gooey stuff. I could see my mobile blinking light somewhere below..as if calling out "Save me from this stinking shit hole!". I tried to reach for it, but the smell and the sight got me gagging. Urrgh..the thought of it makes me wanna vomit all over again!!!! YUCK! Seeing my wretched face, he kicked me away from the hole and did the hole-digging himself. Conclusion : the phone was rescued but did not survive, and I "died in the hands" (literally translated from cantonese) of him - my mobile saviour.

And those were my 5 sweetest memories tht I can remember. As I said, those memories never remained sweet. But anyway, thank you to all the guys tht added a piece of bitter-sweet memory to my life. Doesn't matter who was the jerk - u or me, what matters is that we once shared it and we cannot ever erase it.
Moral of the story : Appreciate the good things that you share with your partner because u never know when it will be taken from you. The next time u have an argument, think only of the sweet things and surely ur heart will soften and a useless argument avoided. As my pastor said today "The Best Has Yet To Come". (Hoho...surprise surprise I actually came up with a good moral to my story heh?!!?)
