A Different Christmas Eve

24 December, 2003

Bought tickets to watch LOTR: Return of the King with him. There was a office party on that day, and I was babysitting Ryan. Felt bad about abandoning Ryan to Wendy as I was the one who pestered her to bring him. But she told me to just go to the movie with him. Why are these memories still so vivid?

Didn't realise he doesn't have his car that day. Had to take bus. Was nearly late for the show, but made it, and didn't miss the opening, though he did as he had to go to the toilet. His mobile was flat and had to use mine to call his boss, and he felt bad about leaving his boss behind at office.

Walked me to the MRT station after the movie as he had a church function to attend. How time flies. It's been five years.

The first-leg of the Suzuki Cup final takes place tonight. As I had to come in tonight, I stayed at home and didn't turn up for work in the morning. Lester called in the afternoon. We have been eating together for the past week! And he said he wanted to meet me for lunch.

Knowing him, he called me later at 2plus, and he was to meet me at Causeway Point. Told me to bring my laptop along and he could show me who is the mysterious girl. After lunch at pasta mania, we sat down at Starbucks and went through each other's Facebook, laughing at our childhood photo and friends.

Eventually sent him home at 7pm and I prepared for work.
