Broken Wings

Was at the Fullerton... again for dinner. This time around giving a farewell treat for C. Was not aware that One Fullerton was undergoing major renovation works. Got all vulnerable with C and told her my life stories in a nutshell, sans the intimate details of course. She'll probably be shocked out of her socks if I gave her the absolute truth. The stories were true alright, except for the gender. Sighs... Why couldn't I just tell the truth, plain and simple? She been through so much in her love life, and yet emerged a picture of poise and dignity. I'm dysfunctional and have a knack of attracting dysfunctional people, I poured out. And this youthful granny known for her cool demeanor blurted out, I'm just as dysfunctional! We laughed and laughed at life's eccentricities. I will miss you, C... I also wish to migrate one day, just like you.

Returned home and was reading the papers and suddenly saw CT's face peering at me on the front page. Could not recognise his image at first til I saw his name and company. The pictures did not do him justice though. Well, it has been what... nearly 10 years since our short-lived courtship. Still recall the first time I laid my eyes on him at a forum. Went through great length just to get his email, thanks to Br... haha... Alas, it was not meant to be. Sent him a lengthy parting email (think I got a tad too emotional then). Anyway, never thought I'll see him til... we breezed past each other several times but never once acknowledging one another except perhaps for the glint of recognition in our eyes. He's always with a group of friends that are rather cute. He's doing very well now... well enough to drive a Jaguar. He's blessed indeed, and I wish him super-abundance.

Funny dream last night... Was treading carefully on a trail that had bird wings (big and small) scattered all over... Wonder what happened to those poor birds and why were there so many broken wings. One of them looked something like this:



It's a very strange world we live in, master Jack.
