Mr. P

A man gets off the mrt, with a bouquet of roses in his arms. I imagine who his lucky girl may look like....

 As I sat down in the mrt, and then I see a man on my left, sitting right in middle of two seats, hogging both of them. Then I see a ring on his finger and imagine what kind of unlucky girl he got hold of.....

I got an email today, a colleague from the chocolate factory. We used to have big times back then. Drinks almost every weekend and partied hard in every occasion. We did some "off" stuff together too. like going to watch the cage fighting right up at front seat, going for a drive to Wanaka to see the Birds over Wanaka (a warbird air show), and trip to bluff oyster festival. I won't deny that I did have a little crush on him back then. But we were to much of a

"eeeeew workmates????"

to give it a chance.

Just plain "P" is what we used to call him. It def helped me cos his full name was too hard to pronounce when I first heard!! And how awkward/funny it was to work beside him when he became my manager, and how hard it was to not call him "P" at work anymore.... Good memories though.

The OompaLoompa and I used to give him crap about how he gets "beer goggles". His lady of his dreams were a tall slender model like lady, high demanding to keep him company and tall enough to match his height. But with the goggles on..... Yeah, no comment!!

I knew he had a serious gf before and we even spotted him with her over and over with her even after they broke up. And he used to say

"there is nobody in the world like her, she is the only person that I ever wanted".

He def loved her with all he had. Minus his love and devotion for his work which ruined their relationship!

But yes, this man called "P", I was so happy to receive a news that he is getting married. And getting married next month!! And so typically of him to decide to invite me when it's only 2.5 weeks away!! Only if I was still in Singapore it was before I booked my departure flight then I would have given him a straight yes!!

He is one heck of a great man (and nice looks, and god damn on my spot perfume preference!! And how torturing it was to have meeting with him in a small room!!), and I can't be happier about this great news.

Yet I feel a little sad for the sake that another one of my ex-always a free spirit single friend is going to be on a leash....!

Def not a jealousy as such like "I wanted you!!" but more like a girl who got her teddies taken off her. I do love him, but def 100% as a good friend, and it feels a little lonely to know that he does have his own life and he's going forwards!!

Either way, CONGRATULATIONS Mr.P!
