I came to Spore to work in 1990 as a waiter at one of the leading hotels in Orchard rd....It was an eye opening experience for me as I came from a small town in Msia..Also this is the first time I was away from my parents & living alone...It was both a frightening & joyous occassion...Frightening coz have to take care of myself for the first time without my parents but was a joyous occassion coz finally I can live my life the way I want without parents nagging..I was only 20 at tt time...Luckily for me we were put up in a hostel with other Msians...Tt made my transition very much easier...We quickly became friends...There were a few guys & girls living together...We went out together in a group a few times to explore Spore...Still remember we went to catch the movie "Ghost" at Chinatown Point..Now this place is demolish aldy like other old things here lol..We treat each other like bros & sis...Not tt the girlz were not pretty but there was no "feel"...It was better this way as we all live peacefully without conflicts...After a few mths some of us began to date other colleagues...But I just flirt here & there with a few colleagues of mine but nothing serious...It was easy to befriend the girls as almost all of them were students wrkin part time to earn some pocket money...I was amaze to how easy it was to be friends with them lol...I was a allboys school so we dont have much gal friends haha..Working shift wrk was fun...7 to 3...3 to 11..11 to 7...Mths went by without anyone tt caught my eye...Of coz there are some eye candy temp staff but we nothin came out of it...Then one fine day when I was wrking the 3pm to 11pm shift, a new cashier started work...She was shown ard the hotel by the chief cashier & was eventually led to the coffeehouse which I was wrking tt day...& tt was the first time i saw M...

When I first saw her,she's just like a normal girl wz specs...Nothing to shout abt..Was intro to her & we just say hi to each other..Days went by & I didnt saw M...then one day while i was wrking the afternoon shift,I came across a photo album in the drawer of the outdoor cafe where I was wrkin tt day..It was picz of M while she was in Tioman...Ask one of the cashier when did she went there & she told me just b4 she started wrk here...from the pics she seems to be alone & so probe further & got to know she went there alone bcoz she was heartbroken coz she found out tt her bf was 2 timing her..So she pack up her thingz & book a trip to Tioman to clear her mind..When she came back Tioman she quit her job at Leica & join the hotel line...After hearing her storiees I somehow feel sad for her..But I didnt really have anny feelings for her watsoever...till few days later when I saw her minding the cashier counter...I ask her abt the pics..tell her tt she look pretty & all...From there we became friends..We seems to get along well coz we can talk abt anything..Suddenly while we were talking i menyion tt long time nvr went to the movies & jokingly ask her if she would like to see a movie wz me..jokingly i say i might hug her & hold her hands if she feels cold la...She smile & say its ok if i do tt but i know she was only joking...Then at nite while we were waiting for the co bus to sent us home coz we finish at 1am,i ask her if our movie date is on & she say why not...I was abit suprise she say yes but happy..So we fix a day & we went to see "Silence of The Lamb"...Purposely choose this show hoping she mightbe scared lol...So we went to see it but I didnt hold her hands like i said i would...First time went out with a girl dont knw what to do haha..we just talk only...Went for a few more moviez incl "Edward Scissorshand" & still i didnt hold herhand!!!...after tt show i suggest why dont we go for another show again at Prince cinema..It was a HKG RA movie...forgot the title damm!!!!...Anyone knw Hkg Ra movies shown in 1991 lol....movie came & gone & nothing happen...Then as we were making our way out of the cinema which was damm pack,ppl were pushing & then I grab her hand & walk hand in hand out of the cinema...i jokingly ask her if she wats me to let go of her hand & she shyly say NO...hhmmm...I was over the moon as we walk fm the cinema to City Hall mrt...saw her off in the west bound train & then I took bus back to Serangoon a happy man.....
