OHPALIN™: September 2010

I remember the first time our eyes met. Hawk Centre, Jurong Bird Park. It was my first time working at JBP as a Photographer and you was a Falconer. A few days passed by, I was assigned to go for Hawk Show photography and there, we first met. Initially, I thought you are a Malay dude. But as soon as I spotted your name tag; Frederick. I believe, you're a Filipino. I find you cute at that point of time. I know it sounds absurd but that's a fact. At the end of the show, we stood nearer and I said a random 'HELLO' to you. And your respond was, a cheeky smile and you were blushing. I still remember those moments.

Months passed and I was really busy with my responsibilities and I hardly bump into you in the park. However, sometimes, I saw you approaching near to my counter. Your intention was to see me but I know you pretended to be talking to someone over the phone. That's so ironic but cute at the same time. We had a short chat and that's it. We still have not exchange numbers yet.

You and me were normal friends and we're not so attached with each other at that point of time. I regarded you as a friend and not more than that. Soon, you began to flirt around with me. Yes I still remember. Those winks EVERYTIME our eyes met in the park. You never fail to wink at me. And the flying kiss when I'm going home.. I thought you're only fooling around with me. One fine day, I was assigned to do Hawk Show. At the end of the show, we had a short chat. You asked what time I end work. I said 6pm and you said I'll see you later then. So, I waited for you at coach bay. We walked to the bus stop together. The Pole. You remember the pole we stood beside each other? I do! We had a random chat; how are you, where you live and whatnot. Abruptly, you wanted to exchange phone numbers. LIKE FINALLY after 4 months I'm in the park ok! So ever since that day, we contacted through mobile. Getting to know each other more. We began to get closer and closer. You were so caring towards me. But I know, I broke your heart once. I remember you said you love me and wanted to be my partner but I turned you down, drastically. I have no feelings towards you at that time. But you did'nt give up. Every lunch time, you will get me water because you know I'm dehydrated. And you will buy lunch for me. We went home together. We hang out with Regie and TJ together. You send me home without fail. How can I not fall in love with you for all the effort that you did for me?

15th September 2009; we had Swensens for dinner after work. We were laughing and had so much to talk about. After which, you send me home. We walked and walked till I had muscle cramps and you massaged it for me. We had a pit stop for awhile at a particular void deck to rest. There, you asked me if I had a final decision to accept you as my partner. I was reluctant to tell you at first but you persuaded me for an answer. And finally, I whispered to your ears a YES!! I still remember the look on your face right after I said that one word! You were extremely elated and you were feeling on top of the world! You promised to take good care of me and you will be by my side forever. You even bought me a Purple Adidas watch which I'm still wearing it to date as a gift for accepting you.

But, things did'nt go as what I wish for the first week we're together as one. My heart was shattered after I get to know something really shocking! I burst into tears and could not believe what was happening at that time. You consoled and was sorry. Initially, I wanted to end the relationship but you begged for a second chance to prove your love towards me. You kneeled down for forgiveness. I decided to give you a chance after all but I still can't forget what happen till today.

Event though it still hunts me, I never regret having you as my partner. No one can love me the way you do baby. Even if we're having a war, we will find a way to solve it. Through good and bad times we're always there for each other. I'm sorry for all the annoyance I've caused.. I know I can be an irritating monster at times but you know me well bby. You know how to handle me when I'm not in a good mood. That's why I love you so much. I'm really glad you accepted Islam as your new religion now and I hope you believe in Allah. I thanked my parents for guiding him and Alhamdulillah, you know how to recite the Syahadat and perform prayers. I really respect you. I hope you can be a good Muslim. Insyallah

I know life is hard on you but I will always be by your side to help you always. You will always be my baby, Miko Fazriq Ferrer! Till death do us apart!

Thank you for the gorgeous purple rose and my favourite chocolate that you surprised me at work. I'm touched! And thanks for the dinner treat st Pizza Hut. Not to forget the blouse from OP. In short, thanks for everything bby!

HAPPY 1st YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
