Dearest..

Once upon a day in August we had a truly enjoyable time making our first foray into the magnificent Macritchie reserve. Can vividly remember the excitement the night before and fetching you up before the break of dawn. Seeing you walking to my car is such a delight in a morning. But the story here is how that day was a major turning point in our RS.

I recalled there were no parking and we have to parked somewhere in a private estate. And we started along the windsor park connector and explore the place like two avid explorers on an adventure trip. At one point we decided to bash through a forest to get into Macritchie. As we go in further there were lots of trees and branches and I had to help you along. Holding your hand ensuring you don’t trip or get cut my loose ferns or branches. Holding your hand was both a protective and lovey dovey feeling to me. On hindsight it was somehow foolhardy for us to cut through the forest for fear of wild boars!

Certainly the humidity in Macritchie is brutal as the morning sun starts warming up the canopy above us. However there wasn’t any physical discomfort as we basked in each other company and heat is not a concern at all. We sprinkle our wilderness outing with lotsa of bantering and jokes.

Then we finally reach the treetop walk which is the highlight of the trip and was shocked by the long queue to enter. We made the right decision to press on and will join the queue as we realised the treetop walk was closed for renovation. The queue was quite long but I truly enjoy having you next to me and passing time while chatting away. We were not together yet at that point but my inner me wanted to hug you and hold you close to me so badly while we queue. The urge to be physically with you was very strong. I should have been braver and pulled you in at that point. Only I can turn back time.

We continue the rest of the morning in the forest and reached back to our car. We proceed to find a place to have some refreshments and you mentioned beer a few time. I thought it was a joke as it didn’t occur me to that you were serious. As I drove I was cracking my brain on where to go and lo and behold I turn into Seletar cluster of restaurants. I brought you to a dog cafe and said let have tea and muffins and you said let check other places. We went to a western joint and there is BEER! We tucked into some nice mains and we had some craft beers from Japan. Finally the real deal you wanted. What tea and muffins..so LAME!

As we were driving back home after an enjoyable hike and lunch and I played some nice mandarin love songs. At some point you were humming to the tunes and then at the corner of my eyes I saw your dainty hand stretched out. I look back on the road and look back with side glances and the hand is still in the direction of me upon final confirmation. I nonetheless knew this is my OPPORTUNITY and I quickly reached out with my left hand and hold your hand tenderly. Strong current seems to flow through in the eventual special connection. Then you softly seek request to give me a peck on my face and i gave some excuse but you eventually planted a few kisses on my left cheek. The moment to me was like eternity and froze in time. You continue to hold my left hand and was not letting go and was stroking my arm until you alighted the car.

I was left in an stupid intoxicated stage for the rest of the day and many days after. This episode stays with me forever.

Lovingly Yours…Wanna Be Oppa
