she had alighted the MRT and now was pushing her way through the crowd at orchad CitiLink. she was late for her date. again.

meaningless faces flashed by - lost in private thoughts, wandering gazes, blank stares into nothing, chatting.

then, her eye caught sight of a Stranger walking in the opposite direction. The intense stare ensued even was they walked past each other. Time slowed down and the noise dampened and the crowd faded into the background. it was only them for that few seconds.

necks craned.

finally, the connection broken was broken as she tore her eyes away from him.

A tentative backwards glance.

He was turning back! A breathless request for her number. numbers exchanged on scape paper; a napkin for her, a reciept for him.

then, he disappeared back into the crowd.

a surreal meeting, over in a flash. did that really happen?

on that date; she was inattentive. playing that moment in her head over and over again.

She didnt get his name.

they're now married with two kids. i was like O_O!!! when my chinese teacher told us that story. just the gist of cos(they met. they got married. they hv 2 kids). i made up/imagined the rest.

i've always been sceptical of fate. this story kinda blew me away. dare i believe in fate? i still dont really....

this song so discribes the moment.. except that he doesnt get that gal. his voices take abit of getting use to but i'm listening to it on repeat hee.


You're Beautiful Lyrics James Blunt
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

fate? destiny? i dont know.
