Life and Dots of Daniel

Me meeting her

Me meeting her was an incident least expected in an unlikely place some more. I was in Perlis at that time inspecting one of the dams owned by my department. Being such good friend, Seng, told me that there is this someone who happened to be in Langkawi that I should meet and that he had arranged a dinner.

We do have another dam in Langkawi to be inspected. My colleagues and I, having done our job in the morning, took a ferry to Langkawi from Kuala Perlis jetty. It was holiday season, the cabs and car rentals are making good business by imposing higher prices.

I tried calling all the numbers I got in the jetty but luck was not on my side; every time the person over the phone told me that all their cars had been taken my heart melt faster. All the economical cars like Proton and Perodua had been taken. Those left are Nissan and Toyota, obviously much higher than my budget.

Dinner was supposed to start at 830. The sun has set, yet I still could not get a car. I prayed very hard to God. In my private conversation with God, I said, “God, if she is the lady that you want me to know, please make sure I am able to attend the dinner.”

Bla blac bla... Long story cut short; miraculously I managed to a car but with an extra charge.

So happy I was. During dinner, I managed to catch some important points. She is a Kuching born and bred Catholic. After dinner, the three of us went to grab some duty-free chocolate and wine. Since she was going back the next day and with the quota of liquor imposed, she could only bring back only one bottle of wine.

I offered to bring another bottle for her when I got back to Kuching for Christmas. Without any hesitation, she agreed to let me become the delivery boy. In Kuching, I managed to catch her up for a lunch in Chicago 7. Since then I have not seen her anymore even though she is here.

My radar is not sensing any signal yet, therefore unable to confirm if she has any interest in me. My heart seems to have been touched by an angel after seeing her. This radar inside of me must be rusty because the last time I sensed someone liking me was two years ago.

Something is best left said the least. It would be better like this.
