My Blind Date's Adventure

My first and last BLIND DATE -.-


It all started with a simple message to my WhatsApp on the fateful day, 30 Jan 2012 at 1.59pm.

Friend: Yong Wei, are you attached?
Me: No, any girl to intro?
Friend: Yes, I am thinking of setting you up with a friend.
Me: -.-''' OK. Let me know then.

So, my adventure begin. My friend exchanged our h/p numbers and me, as a guy send SMSes to her to arrange the location, date and time for the blind date.
On that fateful day, as nervous as I am, I remind myself that this is just a simple meet-up with a new friend. Seriously, I am so friendly that I don't think I cannot handle this meet-up. How wrong can I be.

The whole date took less than 1 hour. We met at Parkson entrance and decided to go to Fullhouse for lunch. From the first impression, I can see that she is a very quiet person, shy and timid. But seriously, if a girl agree to go out for a blind date, at least she is ready to communicate. But then...

During the date:
1. My questions came back with very short answers.
2. There is no eye-contact between us. Tried but she seem too shy to make eye-contact.
3. Awkward silent when I am not initiating communication. There are moments when I don't talk to make her talk more but she just look at her foods and keep eating.

At that moment, I prayed for the date to end as soon as possible. So, when our foods finished, I signalled for the waiter to bring the bill and pay the bill. Walking out with her from Fullhouse, we say goodbye and walk the opposite ways.

Conclusion:
This will be my first and last blind date. From the start, I am not expecting anything. As far as blind date is concerned, I don't even need to know how she look like. So, to go in a date and feeling this awkward until I am speechless, I start to doubt my communication skills. Not putting blame on others, but me; seriously, to be speechless, you are the FIRST person to do that.

This day last year 709 (9th July 2011)

Image
Recalling back this day last year, I remember it was a very historical day for Malaysia as a whole. This is the day when Malaysians as a whole, coming out in forces to rally for a better future of Malaysia. This day also culminating into me deciding to join BERSIH 3.0 on 28th April 2012 and get into war with Malaysia with hundreds of thousands of Malaysians. However, what I did on 709? On this day, I lost a friendship. I remember I went to watch  Transformers: Dark of The Moon with one of my close friend. And the first time I ate at WENDY's . Hahaha ~_^ This event etched into my heart because this is the last time I watch movie with her and since then, one year have passed and our friendship deteriorating until almost non-existent. From the times when we can talk and messages each other everyday, but now, I don't even know her present situation, present life, and present work. To be fair, I know that girls do this to friends when they get a boyfriend but then, I still

I Miss You, And I Never Even Had You; Guy's Version

Image
I lay on my bed thinking of you now. I lay still in my bed, trying not to fall asleep, crossing the barrier from “awake” to “dreaming” . I listened to sad, heartbreaking music, all about missing someone, someone that get away, someone they had once loved. " What is the word for missing someone, for knowing there is something missing from you because they are not there, when you have never had them to begin with? Does that word exist?" I touched your hand, trying to hold it. I don’t think you know I did, but I felt it. It’s little things like this that I miss, the tiny bits that make up a whole imagined life, something we could have had, if we were two different people. Sometimes I stare at you, and I wonder what you are thinking. You have these soft, kind loving eyes, and sometimes I imagine that they are only this way with me, but I know that can’t be true. I am sure that you look at me just like you look at everyone else; captivating, smart, but ultimately uninterested

My 1st Pacer Experience in Malaysia Women Marathon 2017 Half Marathon

Image
30th January 2017 The journey started on chor3 when I coincidently bump into HuiXian in Genting . As we catch-up, we talk about running and as she is thinking of joining half marathon in MWM , I offer to be her pacer and we decided on 2:30hrs as our target. 1 month plus to go before the race, we make a pact to run more to prepare for the race. As soon as my running sifus know that I going to pace HuiXian, I get warned that to be a pacer, there are a lot of things that I need to take care. It's not just about running at our planned pace but to prepare for any eventuality that will happen on race day. As soon, as this feeling sink in, I actually get jittery because I worry that I will not be able to become a good pacer. 19th February 2017 To prepare for the race, we plan to train for at least a few times but we are unable to find time to run together. Finally, 2 weeks before the race. we manage to run together once by joining the MWM running clinic in Sri Hartamas . Pacin
