10:20am. I had arrived early. I sat at the see-saw, watching the little children around me jumping around the playground as I eagerly anticipate the girl of my dreams to appear really soon. The only anti-climax was seeing my mum hiding behind the pillar at a nearby block, eyes fixed on me like the FBI.
I paced myself across the playground, left hand gripping tightly on the $50 note which is used to save my girlfriend, right hand busy wiping the sweat off my forehead constantly. It was a cool morning, but somehow the excitement and anticipation of meeting her just makes me perspire profusely! Tick tock tick tock.... those 10 minutes felt like 10 months man!
How would she look like? Long hair? Short hair? Spectacles? Tall? Short? What's the first thing I should say when I meet her? ... These were some of the many questions fluttering through my mind then.... DREAM GIRL HERE I COME TO SAVE YOU!!!
Just when I was engrossed with questions and picturing of me as a knight in shining armour saving the damsel in distress, I felt a tap on my left shoulder. I froze on the spot and I gulped.... This was it! I am one turn away from meeting my girlfriend! Using one second to adjust my already neat "curry-pok" well gelled hair fringe, I turned around and.......
ARGH!!! To my shock, it was a middle age guy! And he immediately asked me.. "Are you EeJay?". For a good 10 seconds, I was dumbfounded without an answer to him. A tsunami wave of shock, disappointment, anger, humiliation overflowed me. Getting hold of whatever was left in me, I replied "NO!" and quickly turned my back and walked off towards the block where my mum was hiding. Adding salt to the wound, my Mum was sniggering and gave me a weird smile when she saw me approaching... :(
I was just very sad. My girlfriend has just become a boyfriend! My dream has become a nightmare! My past months of time and effort investment in this online relationship felt like being flushed down the toilet bowl! It was a humiliating experience for me.. to think that I had actually committed my emotions and fought so hard to defend "her"... all along, the "her" was actually a HIM!
