Dream-like

Dream
Something that you wake up from
Something that can seem to be true
But actually not
It can be beautiful
It can be otherwise

Dream-like
Something that is happening
Just that this time
It's entirely true

Joy, Happiness, Worries
They can all happen together

Of course, being myself
Joy and Happiness are the majority
Being older, wiser and practical (I hope)
I had my fair share of worries too (But diminishing)

This dream-like situation
Is knowing and being with Hui Han
The girl that I've never even dreamt of being close with

Our encounter goes way back to 3-4 years before
While I dreaded going to CCK as a full fledge pharmacist
It turned out to be a pretty good stop at that point of my life
Colleagues are nice and kind
Almost the best workplace in my opinion
If it's entirely rated based on co-workers only (haha!)
And then, the girl aced her interview and become a PT
Ms Liew liked her, she thought everyone would too
And turned out, Hui Han is truly a likeable girl
And I had the chance to precept her
No special feelings back then
She paid attention, took notes, improved
And I certainly enjoyed the process to witness her growth

Fast forward to 21st July 2016
A random thought while having dinner in one of my favourite Jap Restaurant
Why not go look for my dear colleagues in CCK?
Who shall be the one I contact?
A few names popped into my head
But this special one is the one I chosen in the end
A simple Hi!
A simple reply, started this dream-like interaction
And I smiled before, during and after my sleep ever since

Never thought would meet someone that thinks so alike
And guesses each others answers correctly
The feeling of finally meeting someone that knows you
Joy, amplified

My 28th birthday was awesome
A lot of effort was put in by Hui Han
And I've never been so pampered for such a long time
Lunch @ Saveur, Gold Class "Train to Busan", Singapore Flyers, Dinner @ Kanshoku, Cedele Choc Cake, 7+1 gifts
A fine day planned out, someone was still worried that the birthday day might not be pleased

Mankind are fearful of the unknown
Few brave ones chose to charge ahead
Some failed miserably
Some succeeded, momentarily
Some contented
However, ALL do not look back
All had a story to tell

I chose to charge forward again with her
Believing this time is better

Fix what is broken, not throw
Be kind, generous and resourceful
Give and not expecting to be paid back
Love, get hurt and love again
Live, do good and be content
Be trustworthy, keep your words and sleep well at night
