The One Memory That I Will Never Forget: He Asked Me To Be His Girlfriend

10th July 2001

Dear Diary,

It was during the holidays, on a Thursday that KC asked me to be his girlfriend.

It was at the pondok in front of the boys' toilet.

We were 'walking' and then we stopped at the pondok and it was SO stupid. It's like he has never said it before or like I never knew that he liked me.

He asked like this:

Him: I like you.
Me: Okay.
Him: Do you like me? (Damn stupid!!)
Me: Ya...... (What do you expecT? No?? After what I said to him the night before???)
Him: Can you be my girlfriend?
Me: I don't know....

Oh, when he asked me, he put his hands on mine. However, I pulled away. I think.

Oh god, I could feel him shaking. He was seating so near me. I was shaking very hard too.

And he kept staring at me with this goggly look in his eyes. I felt so so weird. I said that I needed to talk to my friends about this.

So I ran off, just as CW and Mindy approached(they were cycling around the school compound).

I cringed for two whole days. On Friday night(the next day) I saw him online and he took the chance to settle it once and for all. So I told him about my "Friends can never be more than that" theory and how much I enjoyed my freedom.

He understood me quite well. And I was SO happy. *huh!* Then the next day I saw him online again and he said that he can't wait for school to start so that he can couple with me. Yup, his exact words. I was sooooo crapped up.

"Didn't you get my meaning yesterday?!" ..then I can't remember what else I said.

And he was like, "Okay, I understand. I am very heart broken now. I know you don't like my looks etc..etc.. Goodnight thatdiarygirl....goodnight."

You can't imagine how very bad I felt!! So I sent him a long email that my decision has nothing to do with the influence of my friends, him or anything else. Just that I still enjoyed my freedom and stuffs. I pressed on the fact that he's got a nice body.(tip#: when turning someone down, try to dish compliments.)

To add a strong point to the reasons, I just told him that I still liked JT even though he doesn't like me at all. I thought he'd never talk to me ever again......


Then he replied me email the following morning and said that before Mindy and CW got together, he already liked me. And he said that, Yes, he likes me and he likes me alot. So he's still my friend.

However, the only problem is that I keep running away from him whenever I saw him around school. I even told my friend E to drag me away if I happen to be talking to him for more than 6 minutes. Anyway, like that lor the story.

On Friday(this week, last Friday), CW told me that Victor was looking for me. THen when I met up with Victor after that, he asked me if I liked lollipops....I was like, "Okay laaaa...why?" and he said, "Do you like lemon then?" and again I went, "Okay laaaa...why?"

I was repeating myself on purpose. :)

Then he passed me a lemon flavoured lollopop and said, "Nah, for you,".

I was like, "oh...thank you!" Hmm....sweet!

Then the next day was my school's IU day and Victor's sister passed me a note from him. I thought it was some sort of love letter or something. But it was actually about how sorry he was about not being able to attend the event to support me. And in the message, he asked me to tell him about everything after the IU.

The paper and the envelope was very "love-oriented".

Okay, let's talk about the IU instead. Me and my girlpal A stayed up until 2.30am. making the souvenirs for the guests. It was so sleepy-fying. So yeah, she stayed over. So as we all know, I was the head of the ushering committee. I was acting all hyper. Ushering a group of guys up the elevator and talking and all. I must've looked good too I guess.

KT was like, "Thatdiarygirl!! You look SO cute together!" I was like, "Thank youUu!!" and then he said, "Now give me a hug la....." I was like, "Oh com'ere." and I swear that his hand was on my bum!!

Then this form1 guy called Victor Yeap(another Victor!) kept trying to make conversation with me. He thinks there's something going on between me and my senior BS. Hehehhee. So we got inducted as directors and went on the stage one by one. We did our performances. Damn embarrassing.

Anyway, that's about it. Gotta go, liao. Byebye!

One night at the end of 2005, KC and I were sitting at a bar in KL. While lying in each other's arms, we talked about the events that followed soon after he asked me.

We laughed so hard at my then response("Er...I ask my friends first.").

Hahahha. KC said, "Yalah!! So embarrassing you know when I went back to the volleyball court.. your friends were all staring at me."

"I know, I'm sorry. But oh god, I was such a kid," I said, feeling rather embarrassed at my 14 year old self.

..... and that very night, we had our first real kiss after dating for a year.

In 2003, I clarified with KC about what really happened when I said no to him online. He admitted to me that our friend HK was using his ICQ to help him to tackle me. But HK is very shallow and he has this very gangster-ish way of talking. So I should've known that it was him whom I was talking to when I had to turn "KC" down for the second time. The first time round I was talking to a very understanding KC which was very much like the KC I knew.

Stupid HK!


Oh, and the KT I mentioned in the entry was like 2 years my junior so he was only in form1. Like wtf right? So young also know how to touch people's backside already. LOL LOL LOL.
