From French Fries to Butterflies....

Posted by Mr.Keropok

(continued from previous post) .... I "went steady" with my first girlfriend at 17 years old, and I must confess, that really was out of companionship sake.

It was hard to express how I feel.. Confused, but yet also delighting and sensational feeling... *strange & puzzled*

A week later, I decided to pluck up my mousy courage and to ask her to "go steady" with me. I still remembered that whole day I felt like I was having butterflies in my stomach, totally nervous! Then the moment came.. I sat down opposite her in MacDonalds and told her..... (to be continued)
