It's Valentine's Day. Well, it is not yet as at the time I wrote this entry. But I didn't want to wait till then, so I decided to forward time and pretend that this entry is posted on the actual day. Ha ha.
I am no expert in love, and I admit I am really lousy in controlling my emotions. Direct is my preferred mode of expressing. But from my previous experiences, I can tell when I have a crush and not just mere physical attraction. Probably you have figured out that I was rejected plenty of times, and hurt many times before. All that is behind now lah. So I can sit back, relax and tell you what are the "Top Ten Signs That You Have a Crush on Someone". Simply put, signs which imply you should take meaningful steps to achieve some fruitful outcome. Here is my list in no order,
#1 You are all too happy to do whatever she wants you to, even tho' that is the only time when she will talk to you. Eg. Help her buy her favourite breakfast, say da bao or chee cheong fun. Or roti prata?
#2 You start to think that she looks very cute even tho' none of your friends think or openly say she is pretty.
#3 You smile to yourself after every glimpse of her.
#4 You heart beats abit faster during that couple of seconds when you see her.
#5 You spend most of your waking, idling time thinking of her. Eg. While you are on the bus, watching TV, attending lectures, etc. Sometimes, you even dream of her.
#6 You start to find every possible reason to give her presents. Eg. Christmas, Valentine's Day, her birthday, Hari Raya, Deepavali, Chinese New Year, Labour Day, National Day, etc.
#7 You suddenly become interested in engaging those activities that she likes although you have never done them before in the past. And of course, she has to be there everytime you participate in those activities.
#8 You are fascinated about knowing her better. To do that, you try to ask her out tirelessly despite being rejected numerous times.
#9 Despite giving you the cold shoulders or making you angry, you simply forgive her and think the world is a better place once she makes contact with you on her own. Eg. Sms you, call you, IM you, etc.
#10 You want to project to her a wonderful picture of yourself and tell her all the grandmother stories about yourself. Eg. How you play a pranks on your teachers back in sec school days or how your bobo buddy caused your whole platoon to book out really late on Chinese New Year's Eve.
In fact, I think there should be a #11 to the list. That is you are dying to tell her these top ten things that is happening, pinning high hopes that she will like you too, despite knowing that will happen only in your dreams!
Treasure these moments, it can be the beginning of greater things to come, also known as love. Otherwise, if love don't blossom due to situations or no mutual feeling, your crush for her could be the sweetest feeling you will remember between both of you. The good news is, if things don't get ugly, it could also mean the beginning of a great friendship. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have friends who like you and seek to understand you well? No matter you wanna reciprocate the feelings or not, try to accept those feelings and put in effort to be good friends. Sincerity is what matters. Well most people don't take it too well, so don't have high hopes!
Yes, that is crush. Now, love, is a totally different story. Personally, I think having crushes is something natural that will occur many times and anytime in life. It's a game of fate. Right people right time, right people wrong time, wrong people wrong time. Love, on the other hand, I believe, is built on crushes, something that takes a leap of faith and time to nurture. I want to share about it too. That will be on another day.
Happy Valentine's my friends. I love you my darling. =)
