Many many months ago I met a very special girl. She was small but cute and she had this really bubbly personality coupled with a very contagious laughter. She laughs about almost anything, you really hardly even have to try.
You could even drop a pen on the floor or mispronounce a word and that would be enough to send her bursting in laughter. I never really thought much about her though. We exchanged contacts because she needed some help with something and we spent the next few months merely talking on MSN.
In those few months we realized that we really really clicked and we quickly became really good friends. Friends who talked to each other about everything from work, TV, movies, music to even the relationships we were in. Fast forward to a few months later, we both ended our relationships ironically for the same reason: Long Distance.
Both single for the first time in a long time, we started to hang out more and just a few months ago, I began a relationship with her.
Since then I’ve been through the wildest ride of my life that drive me to do the craziest things sometimes. One day I was walking around and I saw a cute little Hello Kitty balloon they were selling at Memory Lane. It reminded me so much about her because I knew she loves Hello Kitty.
So I bought her the balloon and surprised her at her office, showing up right behind her workstation to the teasing of all her fellow colleagues. Not exactly something I do.
Then another time I was out for lunch with the Nuffies when I happened to see this really really big but really really cute Hello Kitty stuffed toy.
I bought it straight away without even thinking twice. Then just right after work I rushed from my office in KL all the way to her home in Subang to put this in her room so she would see it when she got back later that night.
Upon entering her room… it was a big mess. HUGE MESS. So I decided to help her tidy it up a little. I started hanging up all her clothes which were thrown around her bed, including 3 tops, 2 shorts and 1 bra.
Then I cleared her bed of the 100 other stuffed toys there (especially the ones from her previous ex-bf *grumbles*) except for her favourite childhood one and I left the Hello Kitty right in the middle with a note from me.
And these two things that I just told you is just the tip of the iceberg of the crazy things I’ve done! In fact they both happened in the span on 7 days… gosh I wonder how I keep finding myself doing stuff like this.
Though the good news is that it isn’t just me… one day I opened my wallet only to find this little card inside.
In the card it read.
There is no better feeling in this world… than loving someone and having that someone love you back.
I know it’s only been a short while but I’ve never felt like this before… I think I might have found the one.
Cynthia who saw me like this once asked me if I had lost my mind. She asked if she could take me to a temple to perhaps clear any spell that the girl I’m so crazy about might have put on me.
Maybe she’s right. Maybe I am under a spell.
But I’ve never felt happier before in my life.
If this is love… it truly is the most wonderful thing that men and women are capable of doing and so much more refreshing than all the hate that goes around this world.
In the past, people have always asked me what I look for in a girl and I always answered the same thing that I’d imagine most guys would’ve answered: Beautiful, smart, cheerful and someone I could talk to for hours and hours without feeling a hint of boredom.
I ended up getting so much more than that. For months I’ve found it hard to find the words to describe her but today I learned the perfect words to.
She is to me… a little drop of Heaven.
