“Erm…around twelve.”
“Ok. Thanks!” She answered me then followed by a sweet ear to ear smile.
“So, who is coming to pick you up now? Your mum?”… …
There goes our first conversation, which I found it quite interesting and full of sincerity. It is her warmness and hospitality that have fascinated me and give me the guts to take the initiative to approach her. She is affable and somehow, I feel that she is a talkative person but when I start to know her better, I actually find that she is not. Quiet is the opposite of talkative but it’s not a really suitable word to describe her because she does talk when she wants to and she has to. She talks about anything to others and she seems like someone with no secret but this does not mean she is not a good secret keeper. In fact, she is. She would never let the cat out of the bag no matter how you force her to reveal others’ secret. I always like to talk to her because she can be a very good listener and sometimes a good adviser too. She is very straight forward in telling the truth and she only says thing which she means it. She hates to be insincere and she dislikes hypocritical person. However, sometimes she doubts her own judgement on these people because sometimes people hide to protect themselves. Therefore, she is always confused.
Day by day, our relationship actually climbs from a level to a higher level and I do discover more about her. If you know her, you can actually see her smiling, laughing all the time. She is happy and contented with her life all the time. There’re two reasons for this. The first one is because she is easily amused by simple things that occur around her. Occasionally, I find her looking at the ground and smiling on her own. It’s an odd scene for others but for me, it’s something that not much people nowadays will do. She gains pleasure just by observing the ants co-operate to move a dead insect from the corner of the gate back to their home. Secondly, she forgives and forgets about others’ wrongdoings very frequently. Unpleasant things will just disappear in her mind in a blink of an eye and therefore, she always looks cheerful. However, she feels sad for having such absent-minded mind. While the heart-trending moments vapourised very quickly, the same goes to the happy memory. She always needs people to remind her about the delightful moments she has before and she hates to let them know she has not much memory on that anymore. People will think she is insincere in any relationship and this makes her feel sad. Because of her forgetfulness too, she always mistakes people who have bad intentions as kind people. Just because of one good thing that people have done, she assumes her to be kind-hearted person even they did evil things before. This is really dangerous but she cannot help to move away from this kind of mindset.
Have you ever see your friends get mad on something before? I have seen this happens on her but I can tell you that she is the one who lose her head for the least time. She seldom loses her temper and it is very difficult to enrage her. Only very serious thing can drive her mad and crazy. She keeps herself in control very well and if she ever goes wild on you, then you have really offended her. However, there is one thing that will definitely fly her into a rage. She extremely hates people who smoke. She has labeled all the smokers as “selfish person” and she absolutely cannot understand why cigarette will ever exist in this world. It brings thousands of harm to the society and no even one benefit to the environment, yet there are so many out there who are deeply in love with it. I am totally agree with her and we always can’t help to display our hatred to them with obvious action, such as covering our noses with tissue paper, fanning the polluted air away from our healthy nose and move away straight away when they approach. However, we only dare to do that to smokers which appear less aggressive and no criminal looks. We are afraid of offending them but the truth is they offend us first! It’s really not fair!
After two years of knowing each other, we finally become the cannot-be-separated “couple”. We are the shadows of each other and we go everywhere and do anything together. Both of us have the passion to music. We listen to all kind of music and songs. Any song which has harmonious melody can be found in our music folder. We not only listen to the songs, but we practice singing together too. Of course, she can sing better than I and that is why she likes showing off about that to me but I know very well she is just proud of the sweet voice she has inherited from her father. She has thought of going for singing classes but she prefers to discover things by herself rather than getting everything from an expert because she enjoys the process in finding out the solutions. One more thing which she can do but I can’t is she can play keyboard and electronic organ but I can’t. She continues playing it even after she stops attending organ classes. She learns on her own and improves her performance by observing her friends playing piano and do some research on her own. She finds the chords for the songs she likes and she actually tries to compose song but for only once. She tends to give up when she fails to play the song she likes and too many times of failure actually cause her to start giving up on music. However, it’s the book entitled “The Last Lecture” that has recuperated her interest in music. “The brick wall is there to tell somebody how badly you want something”. This is the quote that she keeps telling me recently and she tries to keep hold to it whenever she feels like going to succumb to failure and challenge. Besides music, she likes many things else. She enjoys dancing, making handicraft, drawing, shooting basketball and also learning.
Friendly, kind, hardworking and tough, this is all I can describe about her. She seems like a perfect girl and seldom people see her weaknesses. She used to tell me that she is not perfect and her weaknesses are being too absent-minded and always have difficulty in making decision, even the most unimportant decision. However, when she tells others about that, people will just assume those are just the minor weaknesses and they do not really matter much. Are their words true? She tells others that she is actually weak in socializing but no one ever agrees with her. So, she is just a perfect girl? I bet that she would never believe that. Telling her the weaknesses she has is what she truly wants from all of them.
