那天在马路上
就是我们幸福的开始

Trip down memory lane.

Had a dinner with my ex-gf, the one I was with for 35months a few years ago.
She's still the same, perhaps even slimmer. Girls nowadays. You'd think they eat grass for lunch.

It was also the first time we met up with each other since we broke up. I recall meeting once in a group but I was still terribly depressed (and some anger I admit) over the whole issue so I did not speak to her then. But today, as both of us have matured (critics will point to me saying it's me who has matured because she's the same), we both realised that we can be good friends, hence a dinner.

Here's my original plan:
Get her a flower. Stay determined on the plan.

I then asked around and the general consensus was the only florist nearby was the one above orchard mrt, and for those of you who don't know my bashfulness with flowers, there's no way I'll carry one and walk from orchard mrt till far east. So I failed in my determination, something which I thought will persist and allow me to get those flowers. I then went far east to get her a little handphone chain with a doggy symbol. She likes dogs.

She then apologised for not having prepared a gift but of course no worries there. We had nice noodles but the waiters and waitresses kept shouting some japanese lingo upon customers' entrances and it's so irritating.

Irritating.

So we talked about the usual stuff and reminisced a little. And it was time to leave. On the way to the train station I asked why didn't the bf wait for her usually after work to go home together, since he finishes work earlier and they both stay in the east. She wilfully replied if only he's so nice. I then did something I now reflect as a bastard thing to do. I told her if it was me I'd have waited for her everyday to dismiss from work and go home together. And she said "I also think you'd."

That was nice of her.
But I think I shouldn't have said what I said. What I said has no link whatsoever, and serves no purpose. I wasn't looking for any particular reply. But no big deal here.

I also volunteered to send her home because I seldom did that when we were together, but she said her bf (the doctor) was waiting at the orchard mrt already. So we got there and I shook hands with him and I left.

On the bus back I thought of the memories and had to control myself from tearing.
Those were nice days.

She said she quarreled with her bf last night. And just now was the first time they are seeing each other since the fight.

I then smsed her something like "Didn't finish what I wanted to say. Wanted to tell you that I hope to be your best and only ex-bf. Cherish what you have with him."

She replied that's sweet and she had a good time. And that it's her turn to treat dinner the next time.

I had a good time too.
