The odd one out
Ever since she got together with him, those two would be seen together 24/7 every single day. I never fail to spot them with each other, whether in the college compounds or outdoors. These days, she only has eyes for him, and she hardly mixes around with anyone else in the college anymore.
I used to be quite close to her. To me, she was a sweet and a friendly person and we would always be chatting nineteen to dozen whenever we are together. Saying “hi” when we pass each other in the corridors used to be a very common thing and we would make plans to take the same bus home whenever our classes end at the same time. She used to amuse me, especially the way she was addicted to “Pocky” cream chocolate biscuits. I used to ask her whether she would ever find her suitable one, and she said, “Nobody in TPJC seems suitable to me, and I want to remain single”.
However, after she found him, we stopped keeping in contact. Gone are the days when we would be happily chatting and giggling with each other. Not a single SMS would be exchanged between us as well. We would only greet each other occasionally whenever we run into each other in the corridors. Otherwise, she would simply ignore me, as well as everyone else she knows when she is the companionship of him.
That is why I am constantly telling Keisha never to get a boyfriend as I have realised this particular trend. Once a good friend finds someone suitable for her, a close friendshop would be gone with the wind and you would hardly see her as often as before. This has happened to me once too many and quite a few of my close friendships had been broken up because the other party had run away and eloped with someone else. However, I must admit that they make a cute couple, and half of my classmates agree that couple would qualify as the “Most Lovey-Dovey” couple of the year.
I have also noticed another strange phenomenon which concerns this cute couple and myself. Why am I constantly bumping into them wherever I go? I never fail to spot them at the bus stop, in the bus, in the foyer or in the canteen. Wherever I go, they would always be there. There are so many times when I would end up walking behind them in the corridor or on the footpath outside my school even though I am not trailing them. It just happens and I bump into them for no reason…
There was one instance when I wound up sitting behind them in the bus and I felt so “extra” in the presence of him and her. Just like how the big guy feels in the following photograph… Sigh…

i face this kinda shit too lol. so crap. especially if the guy is someone whom i’ve a fancy on.
of cos i remember you!!! heehehe.
lol.. It’s terrible to be the lightbulb lor.. so paiseh. =X But again, i’m sure not all people are like this.. at least my friends have proven otherwise :) tt it’s possible to maintain a good balance between spending time with ur other half and with your good girl pals hee :)
I’ve never had such an experience, so i can’t rightly judge; but it must hurt a lot for you…. =(
Kerri >> It is not very easy when your friend is too attached to this particular person… Once she is with him, it comes automatically to her to neglect everyone else… :X
i’m not like that :P haha anyways the pic is.. kinda funny.. but yea.. what you said isn’t very true. bec i know many friends who, after finding a bf, still stick to me and the others :) *hugs*
i cant think of any friends who change so drastically after gotten attached. but i get a weird vibe from those who juz bcame attached. its like, a feeling of ‘you dont belong here anymore’ kind of arrogance… tho my intution could be wrong… whatever the case, im sure ur fren still loves u at heart.:)
Bing >> Haha.. quite true…
interesting blog.. hmm i guess i will feel sad too if my friend is attached.. because some people DO change after being attached.. and this is weird.. i mean.. we all understand this point but most of us still do that… hmmm wonder what the world is coming to :P
oh no, i know how you feel… tt;s v. sad. my fren used to seem like that, until she read my old blog and realised how she was hurting us(her other friends). Maybe, she might realise tt soon. but maybe it’s a bit awkward on her part too? tt’s wat happened to another fren of mine… =)
haha.. lamppost.. so extra hor
LOL! U mean kevin and pei ling izzit? aiya… those 2 r like lovebirds… inseperable! and i know the lamp post in the pic is U!!!!
