3 am

She could not concentrate on her work, there were too many thoughts running wild. Giving up, she picked up her phone and ear plugs. "A walk would do me good," she thought. She made her way down the stairs, and the metal gate made a metallic thud after her exit.

His train of thoughts was disrupted by the sound of the metal gate. "Who will be going out at such an unearthly hour?" Setting aside his notes, he stared out of the window, and saw her.

He knew her. Sharing a common friend, they knew each other briefly in their early university years. She was beautiful, but not pretty. It was a quiet kind of beauty, with a certain charm.

She always noticed him around, but talking to him was difficult. When she first knew him, he was forthcoming with words, but the words were always empty, devoid of meaning. He was not willing to share, and had built an invisible wall around him.

Intrigued by her late night escapade, he decided to follow her. "It is too dangerous for a girl at this time anyway, and I'll just watch her for a while," he said to himself.

He left the room quietly and followed her.

It was a chilly night, the sky was pale, with stars scattered across the sky. Her small hands were tucked inside her jacket, and her hoodie pulled over her head. Taking small and light steps, she seemed to be enjoying the breeze and the music.

He noticed the occasional heaving of the shoulders, as if she was sighing. Was she?

As if sensing his thoughts, she turned.

She was surprised to see him. Unplugging her ear plugs, she walked towards him.

"Do you happen to like late walks, or were you following me?" she joked.

Running his hand through his hair, he answered nonchalantly, "I was curious."

An awkward silence hung on the air like a veil, then suddenly it dispersed as both of them laughed.

"Let's walk together," he said.

As they walked, their voices were lost into the night, their footsteps taking them away from the world momentarily left behind.

3 am in the morning, they looked perfect together.

"Will he be happy?"

"Yes," she lied.

Korean food

Just last week, my manager brought us out for a treat (on big boss's tab). I would say I liked the food, and was eating heartily... Quite embarrassed to admit it, but I wasn't really full. Haha!!

Here are the pictures:






I liked the kimchi steamboat. The soup base is really tasty, but I find the crab meat and mussels overcooked.

Anyhow, I'm feeling a bit sian. Boo.....
