Mel, My Dream Boy

two days ago

i went for evening walk

with Ah B and dad

*

Coming out of Carrefour

I saw Melvin, coming to my way

It’s him.. it’s him

I have not seen him for so so long

*

He is not in tie and long sleeved shirt

first time see him in shorts and tee

*

he passed by me

going into Carrefour

I guess

*

if i am not with dad

maybe i will turn back and follow him

haha…

*

The first time i saw Melvin

is the 1st day i went to work in the mall…

*

He was smoking at the backlane

you see, the feeling is different

if a Ah beng is smoking there

compared with a guy in smart tie

and long-sleeve smoking

he looked so cool

*

i told myself

i must find out where is this guy working

The answer is easily available

he was working at the optical shop

opposite the stall i was working

I can see him everyday

*

it’s so exciting

when i met him on

my way to the wash room

*

walking past his shop

i will try not to hunch

if he was standing outside

*

if carrying something

will pretend it’s very heavy

hoping he will notice

and come help me

*

when he went for lunch

wondering what he was eating

*

then i noticed how sophisticated

he closed the door

and felt so proud when

i told my colleagues about it

(i m not the only 38 working there)

*

you know those automated door

so after he turned on the switch

he had to slide out really quick

or get stuck inside

imagine you are watching MI or Bond

i am sure his plump colleagues can’t do this

*

and he is the one holding the key

oh.. cool

he must be the manager

or the supervisor

*

then one day we were thinking

what kind of bag was he carrying ya?

don’t tell me he was carrying

a Nike shoulder bag

*

to my relief…

it’s  a black leather carrier

then later i change to carry a black bag too

i don’t know…

*

he did not wear those black leather shoes

with pointed head

his shoes were perfectly normal

*

i found out his name ……

one day he was on his way to lunch

i took our sample cookies

and asked him to try

he didn’t

but his smile was so sweet

*

and i was so near that i got

to read the tiny name tag on his chest..

he got quite well-built chest too

“Melvin”

*

we called him Mel..

as if we had known him for ages

*

we found out he got a car

cause he walked up from underground car park

everyday

*

one day we will pretend that

contact lenses got stuck

and ask him for help

then i found out more about him

from his ex-classmate working nearby

*

but i wouldn’t want to

fool around with this guy

just because i want to get to know Mel

*

it really lightened up my day

to see him again

*

forget about those good for nothing guys

who fong me fei kay….

they are nothing compared to ah mel

*

It’s such a fun to pretend

you are a secret admirer
