That shoe. That shoe. Uh Uh. If it's a human, i believe i would be all over it. ho-ho-ho. I'm so gonna purchase it. This time i will (:Matching outfit + Matching shoes one day okay, girlfriends? (:
(Hmm, wonder if i have a boyfriend, definitely i'd FORCE him to wear that similar shoe together with me! he he. Okay, that sounds gay wooo)
Had a splendid reunion with them sweethearts over at Wendy's. Serene and boyfriend, please join in the next time round, alright? (:As usual, all the stories from each others' were brought up. All the back biting and gossips were too not spared. Very well, a night was all worth spent. Especially having them by the side. Gosh. It has been eons since this wonderful gathering happened. Ouh guys, never mind my nonsense that day. Heh. As always, i would be all hyped up with my nonsense. Pity those people who had to wait for my camera to snap before they could walk. hehe.
Seemingly the Tampines Wendy's was as though ours. Like hooligans, we conquered the place and ignored the surroundings. Definitely with our laughing and hilarious jokes of the day. Great. I like thaaat. Well, that has always been us whenever we're merge together (:
Love seeing them together happily. My girls are adult now. A step more to real settlement. Hehe. Told them that my time would only be when ive reached 30. Yes, THIRTY. hahahaha.Dee:
Aku dah settle down. Wats pon dah settle down. Tengok tengok adik kau pon dah. Kau je tu bile? Memilih lah kau!
Hahahahah. Hilarious. Instantly i burst out with laughter. Gosh, She's just so adorable can. Ouh dee, remember when i used to ask you for your hand back then? But you disappoint me with a damn No. And went away with a GUY instead. Tell me how am i to love again after being rejected by you? HAHAHAHAHAAHAH. Be with me for just a day, and ill show you the world! Better than your man, definitely! *Kening up up* Lalalalala~ Hee^^
However something touches my heart deeply.......
"Aku boleh tengok Saidil betul betul sayangkan Waty. Hilmi pulak kau sendiri tau berapa sayangnya dia kat aku kan? I will only give the green light for you to settle down if only i see and i feel that he deserves you.. and that is with his limitlessness love. Kalau tak, langkah manyat aku dulu," -Dee
Seeing how serious she is, and the sternness in the message she conveyed, i smiled to myself feeling all touched. Worry not girls, i'll definitely choose the right one. But now, time shall decide. Not so soon lah of cos (:
The 'notebook' inspires me. I'll talk about it soon (:
Anyway, i like the part about Lon, Allie's fiance.
Lon hung up the phone. He had called at seven, then at eight-thirty, and now he checked his watch again. Nine forty-five.I'll talk about the other man next. The one whom Allie had fallen hard for when she was younger, before she met Lon. Gosh. I'm dying to know the ending of the story.........................
Where was she?
He knew she was where she had said she would be because he had spoken to the manager. Yes, she had checked in and he had last seen her around at six. Going to dinner, he thought. No, he hadn't seen her since.
Lon shook his head and leaned back in his chair. He was the last one in the office as usual. That was normal with an ongoing trial, even if the trial was going well. Law was his passion, and the late hours alone gave him the opportunity to catch up on his work without interruption.
He knew he would win the case because he mastered the law and charmed the jury. He always did and losses were infrequent now. Part of it came from being able to select cases he had expertise to win. Only a select few lawyers in the city had that kind of stature. And his earnings reflected it.
But most of his success came from hard work.
He had always paid attention to details, especially when he'd begun to practice it. Little things, obscure things, and it had become a habit now.
And now a little detail bothered him.
Not about the case. That was fine. It was something else. Something Allie. But damn, he couldn't put his finger on it. Some time after her call, maybe an hour or so, something clicked his mind. The little detail. Detail... Something insignificant? Something important?
Think.... Damn what was it?
His mind clicked. Something... something.. something said?
Something had been said? Yes, that was it. But what was it? Had Allie said anything on the phone? That had been when it started, and he ran through the conversation again. What had she said? Her trip was good; she had checked in, had done some shopping. Left her number. That's about it.
He thought about her then. He loved her, he was sure of that.
Not only was she beautiful and charming, but she'd become his source of stability and best friend as well. After a hard day at work, she was the first person he would call. She would listen to him, laugh at the right moments, and has a sixth sense about what he needed to hear. He knew he should spend more time with her. But practicing law made limiting his hours impossible. She'd always understood, but he still curse himself for not making the time. Once he was married he'd shorten his hours, he promised himself. He'd have his secretary check his schedule to make sure he wasn't overextending himself.
Check?
And his mind clicked another notch. Check... Checking... Checking in? He looked to the ceiling. Checking in? Yes, that was it. He closed his eyes and thought for a second. What then? C'mon, don't fail now. Think, damn it, think.
New Bern.
The thought popped into his head. Yes. New Bern. That was it. The little detail, or part of it. What else, though? New Bern, he thought again, and knew the name. Knew the town a little, mainly from a few trials he had been in.
Stopped there a few times on the way to the coast. Nothing special. He and Allie had never been there together.
But Allie had been there before.
And the rack tightened its grip, another part coming together.
Allie, New Bern... and.... something a party. A comment in passing. From Allie's mother. What had she said?
Lon paled then, remembering. Remembering what Allie's mother had said so long ago. It was something about Allie being in love one time with a young man from New Bern. Called it puppy love. So what, he had thought when he'd heard it, and had turned to smile at Allie. But she hadn't smiled. She was angry. And then Lon guessed that she had loved that person far more deeply than her mother had suggested. Maybe more deeply than she loved him.
And now she was there. Interesting. Lon brought his palms together, as though he was praying, resting his fingertips against his lips. Coincidence? Could be nothing. Could be exactly what she said. Could be stress and antique shopping. Possible. Even probable.
Yet.
..... what if? Lon considered the other possibility, and for the first time in a long while he became frightened. What if she's with him? He made up his mind then that he would do anything to keep her. She was everything he'd always needed, and he'd never find another quite like her.
So, with trembling hands, he dialed the phone for the fourth and last time that evening.
And again, there was no answer."
Out to Ubi now. That 336 block.
