Dear Blogger,
I have never expect that the first meeting with Zaki Amirul on the 5th Sept, lead on to the other date..he sms and ask me out again on Wednesday,on 10th sept... i was very reluctant at first..afraid that i may have to join Hidayat and others for 'berbuka' and had to disappoint him..but luckily, the dinner with the gangs was cancelled due to some of us, who was down with bad flu and cough...
So, i met up with him at Orchard Paragon Coffee Bean and had a light meal for "Buka" and off he went for prayer at the nearby mosque,while i wait for him at Paragon..at the same time, a friend whom i have not met for a long time, came over to me and say "Hi"...and we chat a while. Glad that she is now working for another airline and very happy with her "Ang Moh" boyfriend..i am not prejudiced and neither am i, revengeful against that person but i learn to appreciate myself and proud of myself. And if i put myself i her shoe, at that time, maybe i am able to experience what she went thru at that time.
Soo..after around 15-20mins, Zaki came back and we both decided to have proper dinner at Lucky Plaza but due to the influx of tourists crowds(one thing i have learn about him, he hates crowded places..same as me)we decided either Newton or the open space kopitiam near Cineleisure...we headed there...
As for his name, he ask me to either call him Amir or Zak..he find Zaki is like calling a school boy...and Amirul is like calling a "Budak Kampung"..his brother name is Zakir Fatin....now that's interesting and his cousin name is Zaki Zullaiham..wow..turn out his dad is a teacher(ex) from an old school..Siglap and he favour(the dad) literature..no wonder for all the interesting name..guess what is the dad name......Zamirul Hamzah..but i realised all the names have a strong meaning behind it..
Family names is one of topic of the conversations and other than that, we included favourites movies and songs and some intellectual discussion, especially on the younger generations..just few tables away from our tables,are some ex-students of his from the primary school and what a nuisance they are. Either he is not a favourite teacher or they are just some irritated monkeys..they keep on calling him..."Cikgu Zak...kakaka....cikgu kikiki..."But in the end, they stop over at our table and say hello...they are funny bunch of kids..
We left the place at nearly around 11.45pm and he send me home till my block. I advised him earlier not to drive as Orchard will be congested. He send me home in a taxi but i am touched. From CCK to Hougang, the taxi fare is very expensive...but he doesn't mind at all.
I really enjoy going out with him but that's all..i mean there is no special feeling develop yet and i don't want it to be happen yet...maybe i will explain in more details in my next blogging.
