A Sense of Devaju

I have plenty of friends; some I met over the net and some I met at some functions or perhaps we went to the same college or high school. But one thing that makes me feel great about this experience is when i finally take the plunge to meet up with an online friend.



Yeah, i actually experienced that for so many times. But this one was different. I met her in a social web portal after I page hopping from one profile to another. I saw a photo of her and she looks cute. So we exchanged messages a couple of times and the topics were getting better and better. Later it became a habit to write to her almost on daily basis and sometimes I got reply from her on the same day itself. That’s how I learned to know about Australia. It happened in just one or two months. I think it was in October 2006. Then I thought, since she was coming home for holiday, maybe we should exchange our telephone numbers. That thought stayed idle for a couple of days till I decided to make up my mind about it.

And so we talked over the phone. First time I heard her voice, I was a bit disappointed because her voice sounds like Lisa Surihani’s voice - if you know what I mean. So that isn’t a selling point. Hahahaha....but anyway I managed to handle my disappointment well because it wasn’t a major one anyway!

I’m not quite sure how long it took for us to finally meet but all I remember was that she sent me an sms telling me that she was planning to come down to Kuala Lumpur for a shopping trip. I was thrilled.

So we finally met at Midvalley Mall. I can swear over my mother’s name that the moment I saw her, I felt the time was stopped. My eyes were fixed on her. Everything around her was just negligible. She was in black jeans and black three quarter long sleeves t-shirt with cyan color of cardigan covering the t-shirt. She put black and white veil to cover her hair. I can also swear on my mother’s name that I remember till today where exactly she was standing when we first exchanged the glance and where she brought me to after that. I guess that kind of moment won’t come easily to our lives, would it?

Hahahaha...amazingly how the waiting for such moment was finally coming to my life. Unfortunately we didn’t have a great ending except for suffering emotionally, especially for me. Anyway, the whole experience made me of who I am today. A bit evasive when it comes to relationship and women.

The whole reason why I wrote this entry is because I’m watching this soapy movie called “You’ve Got Mail”. Hahahaha, yeah, I am sucker for romantic comedy and easily indulged myself in the moment. Like this one!
