Fifth installment

HongKun sat down on his wooden chair in his room. What should I write to make her happy yet making sure she will not throw away my present? HongKun was looking desperately for inspiration. As he calm himself down, words started creeping slowly in to HongKun's head. The note goes like this….



"Hi, my name is HongKun.

My class is 3 doors down ur classroom.

I stayed in Ang Mo Kio,

My friend used to call me Pinocchio.

Because I am very lousy at lying,

Just like I am at courting.

But I hope we can be friends,

It may not be until the world's end,

But at least it will make my world a better place,

If I can talk to u face to face.



HK."



HongKun folded the note and place it together with the strawberry lollipop into a small box which he had bought from Prints. He liked the present. He hoped that Meifeng will feel the same way too….



3 days have passed since HongKun placed the box inside her locker. "what if someone else gets it before MeiFong does?" "what if MeiFong threw away my present?" HongKun can't help but worry about the fate of his present and MeiFong's reaction when she sees it. He was so deep in thought that he could no longer hear his economics teacher's voice in the lecture theater. His thoughts were broken when everyone starts to stand up and walked towards the exits. HongKun quickly tug his pencil box and notes into his bag, stood up and walked up the stairs towards the exit. Due to his shy nature, and his habit of looking at the floor, he noticed a pair of legs wearing lacy heels. "Who would wear this type of shoes to class?" HongKun thought to himself. As HongKun looked up at the owner of those legs, he was shocked to see MeiFong. She was standing there all by herself, and as their eyes meet, she smile and waved at him. HongKun felt as if he had just been struck by lightning.



"Hi, are u HongKun?"

"yes…"(his eyes trying to look everywhere else but at hers)

"Do u take XX301?"

"yes I do"

"would you like to walk together to class?"

"of..of..cause I do…"

And they walked to class together, chatting along the way…

"o ya by the way I quite like ur poem. And how u know I like strawberry?..."



Ever since then, they have been attending classes together… HongKun felt that MeiFong is actually a very nice person to talk. Although she always looks so perfect and cool, MeiFong likes to joke around and always stain her lips with chocolate whenever she eats the Chocolate dip from Ya Kun.



Days that have passed turned into weeks and into months, before he know it, HongKun and Meifong have been friends for close to 1 year. HongKun felt that maybe its time for him to pop the question. What should I do to make it special?



1. Bring her to a nice restaurant and ask her over desert.

2. Buy a small necklace and make a note

3. Buy her Chocolate and ask her over the phone
