NUSWhispers – Confession #11702

NUS has been the silent witness of my entire love story. I met the love of my life in NUS, married her, and finally even lost her while being at NUS all over the span of 10 years. Curious ? Read On. I met her in the science canteen in the year of 2003, I was from the faculty of science and she was from school of computing, if you remember SoC used to be just across science then. I saw her in 95 almost everyday getting down with me as we both went to school. Sometimes i would run into her into the canteen, I never knew who she was, I assumed she was from SoC as she took the Calculus lecture with me. All i remembered was her face when I when to sleep at night, how could I be so close to someone I was falling in love with, yet never managed to go and talk to her ? I must do something. I should be able to talk to her. Summer of 2004 came with the exams ending and the school emptying out day after day with vacations slowly on the way. I knew I have blew my chance, what if she dropped out of school or SoC, lot of people did after their first year. It was June, I was at Borders, yes the one at Orchard Road before capitalism aka Facebook ended everything good and pure on this earth. As I walked in looking for my Superman comics, I saw her. She was standing at the Literature section leafing through some book. I knew that God might have given me another chance to talk to her. This is it. I sidled up to her (I know not the best way). As she looked up at me ..I could manage .."Hey You are from NUS right ?" To be Continued.. (I eventually married her)...#palemandiaries
