Dear Diary

Dear Diary,
Hello everyone in Malaysia. It must be sunny over there. Is getting really cold here and I had a fever last week. I couldn't find any doctor around. What am I talking about, I can't expect any clinic to be open at a moment like this. Thank god that my beloved mother packed a huge amount of medicine, I think if i stay healthy those medicine can last really long.

I suppose this my only way to contact my family and tell them, their baby Steph is really safe here and I am married, and please not to worry he is a very kind person. There is no ceremony or anything, it was done in a rush.

I really miss home. I wish I am with all of you.

Dear Diary,
Terrius, my husband finally found a job and we have moved to a better place last week. It was a miracle to get a job at a time like this and most importantly, he is not a local here. The place we are staying now is at a suburb that is quite far away from the city. The place is bigger and air is fresher as well. The only reason for moving away from the city is for safety reasons of course. However, Terrius has to wake up really early to get to work in the city.

I wonder how's everyone home doing. Must be really good eh? I received a letter from my mother and it was opened. I guess the people in the post office checked the content in it. No matter what, it was really great to received letter from home.

Dear Diary,
Autumn is almost here. Is getting a little cold now. We went shopping for some clothes yesterday. I bought a lot of them as I didn't even notice how long did I took in the fitting room. I felt a little bad after paying that I only realized it was half past three and we had not have our lunch yet. However, Terrius didn't complain anything about it. In fact, he was surprised that I smiled that much while shopping. That's what a girls does isn't? For a girl like me who has trapped at home for 3 months, and first time ever went shopping for that long, of course I would smile like crazy. :)

Btw, Happy belated birthday, mother. I am not sure did you receive my letter, but i am sure you wil be able to read this. I love you.

Dear Diary,
I am working now. I am getting some part time graphic job from all over the world though internet, Yes, finally, we got our internat fixed. After for waiting for so long from the old apartment to this house. I have set up a website on doing all the graphic stuff to kill some of my time. Surprisingly, most of my client are from Malaysia and I found it very comforting.

After both of my parents birthday month, this is my birthday month. We went to a Turkish Restaurant to celebrate. It was a very nice place, even though is not the best Turkish ever, but is very clever of Terruis to found such a nice place during this time. I was very happy really.

Dear Diary,
Hello Malaysia! Christmas just passed. Did you manage to booked your tables or turkeys yet? I recall that Isetan always have very nice turkeys and not to forget Sun Moulin's cakes. Talking about cakes, which bakery do you prefer in Malaysia? San Terri in Bangsar Village or Sun Moulin? Both of them are my favorite bakery but if I really have, I mean really really have to, I will go to Sun Moulin's fruit cake for sure. Nevertheless, San Terri's green tea cake is a bomb as well. Aww... I am missing those wonderful pastries now.

We bought a plastic Christmas tree. It was my idea to get a plastic one because it is cleaner and it can be use again next year. Terrius had no object on this since I am the one who cleaning the house, so plastic wins.

Merry belated-Christmas everyone.
Even though most of us are not Christian but I know most of us celebrated Christmas in Malaysia. Me? I am a buddhist with a Christian husband, so is a must to celebrate.

Dear Diary,
I had a wonderful time this month. It has been six months in here, it seems like the most frightening time has passed and everything is getting back to normal. Since the city seems to be safer than before, shops and restaurants are getting back to their business as well. Nowadays, we eat out more frequently compare to before especially on weekends. We saw the news on the paper that international workers are allowed to register for lost passport, I can't tell how happy was us. We immediately when to our own respective embassy to apply for it. We have submitted the form but the officer from the embassy told us, there is no promise when could we get it.

Dear Diary,
It has been a year here. I have got used to the country lifestyle. Last week was our first anniversary. We never plan to celebrate it, after all there was a secret between it. Both of us was well aware that it has been a year but we didn't mention.

At late night, I was alone drinking beer at the balcony and Terrius silently joined me. We didn't talk. It was a very awkward day for both of us. We didn't talk much on that day. However, is very obvious that there was something bothering us. After his third can of beer he hugged me. It was the first time, we were so close to each other that I could hear his heartbeat. Unwillingly, I teared. I know what did the hug meant and I was very delight. everything happened so quickly and both of us are not even prepared. We been thru a lot.

It has been a tough year. Hopefully, it will be a brighter year ahead.

Hi, I am Stephanie Tee. I worked for The Moon, a respective Malaysian newspaper. I submit my monthly diary entry to and they will publish it at the Moon Metro section. I am originally a Malaysian. Four years ago, I was trapped in Middle East and I am married to my husband, Terrius Dryburgh, who is Scottish. We are now settling down in Melbourne, Australia. My husband is a lecturer in Monash. and me? I owned a very unique cafe at Spring Street.

Below shown was my last entry to The Moon:



Dear Diary,
Finally, We have booked our air tickets home! I can't they you how thrilled I was the moment I got my passport from the embassy. There is someone I really want to thanks and if it wasn't him, I don't know where would I be now or will i be alive. He is my husband.

Thank you for telling a such a huge lie to those people for not taking me away. If wasn't that lie, I don't know where will I ended up be and I will not know what will I be doing right now and will I be alive.

Since this is my last entry, I will tell you the secret that I have been mentioning all over my previous entries. I was a student at that time. I came to Middle East with both of my lecturers (Terrius and Bradley) and Bradley's wife for a competition. The country was in peace when we was here and suddenly things changed for some political reason. We never expect for this to happen and the airport was shut down. We were trap in the country and there are a lot of snatching and robberies going on at the time. Both of our passports were missing.

One day on the street, a middle aged man spoke some language I don't understand and brutally draged me. At the moment, Terrius stopped them. I didn't know what ere they talking about and all I heard from Terrius was "she is my wife". The middle aged man stopped and stared at Terrius and asked for prove. Bradley qiuckly added "They are suppose to be married in two weeks time". The middle aged man insisted us to get married on that day or he is going to bring me to some horrible place so we di what he wanted, that's the only solution of that time anyway.

I have never dream that we would be married and not to mention how much I hated his classes. I always taught that he has a horrible taste and is one of the most boring tutor/ lecturer ever. Yet, we are now married and it has four years.

Sorry to be a bit wordy this entry. This will be the last from me for sometime. I hope all of you will be happy forever and best of health.

ps. A very happy Chinese new year!

A sweet escape

"Pink or baby blue?" a girl with pony tail cried

"What do you need this time?" A women replied her, and looked at the girl with pony tail and cried "Oh my god! For heaven's sake where on Earth did you get all these?" The women was instantly shocked by all the labels she saw on the girl's table. "Versace, LV, Gucci, TopShop, Zara, Cotton On, Cotton On Body, Nike, Romantic cue? From Exclusive brands to affordable to sporty and some random brands. How long have you been saving all these?" She was so impress at her sister's labels collection. She didn't know that was she impress because its were so awesome or how can her little sister keeping all these rubbish for this long.

"Since high school, sis." The girl replied "Awesome eh?"

"Guess so." The women replied "What are these for anyway?"

"Valentines present." The girl smiled

"Ohh, that's sweet but will he likes it?"

"Of course!" The girl said and smiled very sweetly. She was so in love at that moment.

pause. Here it goes, I was that girl. I was trying to frame something really cute for my ex-boyfriend. I was trying to create a huge page of scrape book and frame it, am I creative or what? Oh right, by the way My name is Zoey. not Zoey101 but just Zoey. right I know cut the lame joke, you don't care.

"White frame or the wooden one?" I asked myself while listening to my Ipod.

"It depends on what are you going to frame, I guess." A voice told me.

"Which one is cuter? White! But he is a guy..." I asked myself again.

"Wooden one should look more vintage while the white one might ended up looking sweeter." The voice said again

"Maybe I should get it later when I make up my mind." I told myself

"The white one suits you more." The voice said again

Now, I am feeling really freaky, I mean should the voice be the other me? I looked around and I saw a guy was right beside me! I didn't realised that I actually talked to myself instead of just a thought. That was really embarrassing.

"Oh my god!" I cried, embarrassed.

"Is okay" he smiled. "So which one are you going to get?"

"I don't know, Maybe I will get it later." I said "Good bye."

"Bye." He replied
____________________________

"Zoey! you are so embarrassing." My sister burst into laugher when I told her what happened.

"I know. So, which one do you think I should get huh?" I asked and lying on the bed

"I don't know, I am not as artistic as you." She said

"You ain't helping!" I protested

"Hey, I am more interested on how did that guy look like?" She said

"Tall, fair? blonde, but I am pretty sure he is an Asian just like us." I said

"Oh come on, most of us looks horrible with blonde coloured hair." She said

"Since when did i mention he is handsome?"

"Oh fine!." She said and continue her make up

"But you know, he is not bad looking." I said in blue "He doesn't looks like a local. Something different, I can't tell where was he from but not local"

"Mystery guy huh?"

"No so, just someone I bump into."

"Then stop talking about him."

"Just to tell you that he is not ugly, in fact I think he looks very cute in blonde hair. like an albino baby." I smiled

"albino is not cute! stop being cruel Miss Zoey!"

"I am not! He is cute!" I protested loudly

"Why are you screaming?" My mother walked in

"She was saying she met a really cute guy at Ikea just now while shopping for a photo frame for Steven as a Valentine present." My sister said

"Oh that's what I am going to tell both of you." My mother said "Please make yourself available on this Valentine's day. Your cousin is getting married."

"WHAT!?" I cried

"Oh yes, be good."She said and walked out the room

"So, what are you going to do?" My sister asked me

"Aren't you celebrating with your husband?" I asked

"I am fine actually." My sister said

"I don't have a choice then." I answered
__________________________________

The wedding was small, warmed. This is actually my cousin's second marriage, the first one was huge but this one was small, only some family members and close friends attended. The bride was young and pretty, my dad told me that she is not local, she is a Thai. She was lean and have a tan skin tone with really nice body figure. in short, she is hot. yes, mad awesome hot and friendly as well.

Well, whatever is it, I am just not in the mood. I broke up with my 2 years boyfriend. I can't stop thinking about that day he told me about breaking up, I felt beaten. I should be the one who break up with him but why everything turned upside down?

"Stev, you know I won't be free on Vday." I Said softly

"Hey, we should talk." He said

"Yea?" I asked, wondering was he angry about what I have just said

"We should have a short break, girl" He said "We are different. I can't and I don't think I will ever be the one you are seeking for."

"What do you mean?" I asked

"I love you Zoey but this is not how it should work. You should be with someone better than me. Someone that can provide you what you need. I am feeling very tired being with you, you made me feel that I am so useless."

"ZOEY!" My sister cried

"Huh!?" I looked at her direction

"The bride and groom is entering the room! stand up!" She said

"Oh okay." Didn't they just entered just now? whatever.

Everyone was having a lot of fun during the dinner. My cousins were snapping photos all around with their blackberry, Iphone, Lomo, and etc. Me? I was sitting there alone. To be honest, I never enjoy this kind of gathering. I am scare of people, when it comes to a lotsa people, I feel scared, is a kind of phobia that I can never overcome.

"Why are you alone here?" A familiar voice said

"Huh!?" I turned back and I saw that guy from Ikea! "You hair.."

"I dyed it just now right before the dinner." He said "It's chestnut brown now."

"Ohh.." I said "You look better now." I said and quickly added "You look really cute before, is just different and I like this more."

"Okay." He said and sat at my sister's seat "Did you buy your photo frame?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Is not a need any more." I said and smiled "Are you related to the bride?"

"Yes, I am her cousin." He said

"You look different from her." I said "You are so fair."

"I am her cousin not her direct brother." He explained "My late grandfather was a German."

"Oh.." I said

"I heard you are not a pure Malaysian-Chinese?"

"No, One of my ancestor was Russian, Thai and Austrian. But those were old stories, I dont think it affect any of our look"

"You look very much like a Thai." He said

"I know, when I was in Bangkok, most people mistaken me as a Thai." I smiled

"You don't look happy. Did you miss a date because of this wedding?" He asked

"Nope, There wasn't any date."

"That's weird." He said

"How about you?"

"Haven't met anyone that serious enough to spend my Valentine with." he said

Both of us were silent and I felt really comfortable that he was beside me.

He was staring at me and I can feel that he was scanning every inch of my face. I pretended that I didn't know he was staring at me and looking at the entrance.

"Oh god!" I cried

"What!?" He asked

"The golden bag!" I pointed at a women who passed by the entrance of the ballroom

"What's with it?"

"I wanted to buy it form Nine West the other day. Actually it was 6 months ago but my sister stopped me from being a shopperholic." I said "I spent too much"

"Come, I am going to bring you to a brand new magical world." He rose and pulled me away
________________________________

"Here we are." he said and stopped his car.

"Where!? Nine West!?" What on Earth is going on!?

"Wait in the car." He walked into the shop and walked out after 10 minutes with empty hands.

"What's going on?" I asked

"This stop is not magical enough for you." He said and moved on

"You are crazy." I said and looking at his handsome face. Hoe could I not realised how good looking was this man when I was at Ikea looking for the stupid photo frame? His captivating eyes that will turned into a crescent moon shaped when he smile and his straight nose with a sexy thin lips. isn't he the prince in almost every girl's dream?

"here!" he passed a huge paper bag to me. " Do not peek until we get to the magical place."

"I don't know anywhere magical in town." I said

"I am going to bring you there today and you will be my princess." he said and smiled

"YOUR princess?"

"Yes, mine." he said

"I know it's the bag. isn't?" I asked

He gave me a quick glanced showing his dissatisfaction and said "Can you don't ruin the surprise? It's really annoying you know?"

"I knew it." I said "I will not accept anything from a stranger"

"But you are on a stranger's car." He said "Open it. I pretty sure this was the one the girl was using."

"yes, it is." I said "I love their new designed label"

"What label?"

"This." I showed him the paper label written the word Nine West on it. "I have a huge collections of labels at home"

"This is interesting." He said "I would like to have a look at it"

"Of course you would." I said

"I used to collect buttons." He said

"That's funny." I said "I have a collection of buttons as well, but i think labels are more interesting."

"Do you like the bag?" he asked

"Love it" I smiled like a 6 years old

"it's just nine west, how would you smile if it's a Hermes!?"

"Is not about the price you pig head. Is about how much effort did one put into to get you a gift!" I corrected him

"Really?" He said "What do you think about hand made gifts then?"

"How about you? Can you tell me first?" I asked with a slight hope that he will like it.

"Erm, it really depends." He said "however, I will really appreciate it."

"That's very nice of you." I said

"Here we are." He stopped his car on a private park.

"I been here many times." I said "I thought it was beautiful but never magical." I said

"Wait here." He said

He walked away and I was staring at the lake. I sat done at the bench and was thinking I must be dreaming, I just have a sweet escape from my cousin's wedding?

"Zoey." he cried and ran to me

"How do you know my name?" I asked "Your sister cried it out during the dinner, remember?" He said

"Oh crap!" And I saw him with a bunch of pink balloons and roses. the roses weren't nicely wrapped but just tied its up with a white ribbon with a butterfly bow on it.

"Roses, Balloons, oh no, chocolates..." He said

"Hey! Is okay.." I said

He hold my hand that was holding the roses and whisper "You know I never believe love at first sight, I thought it was all bullshit. Especially a girl who was shopping for a photo frame for her boyfriend."He looked at me closely "Do you want a new boyfriend?"

"Are you going to introduce anyone to me?"

"Yes, myself."

"Lamer! This is the lamest way to go after a girl."

"Is okay, as long as I got my girl." He said and hugged me.

okay, i know you are craving for the ending now. it's simple, we argue and fought a few times and we eventually got married on a Valentine's day. We are certain about how many people is going think that we are selfish and etc, but seriously, we dont care.
end.
=D

Can you be crazier than this? Special

I opened my eyes and touched on my left cheek and I felt my warm tears. That dream was very annoying, in fact it was so annoying that I can't even explain it in words. I dreamed that 'he' was happily dating Wendy. I mean, Wendy, oh yes, the bimbo Wendy.

'he' was the only reason I am working so hard and giving up almost everything in my life and 'he' was happily dating the bimbotic Wendy in my dream? for heaven's sake, give me a break! I mean please, she is one of the the the.. okay fine, I am not going to say anything bad about her since she is my only friend here, but still this is wrong.
___________________________________

"Today's class is going to end here. Thank you." The vocal instructor said and walked out the room.

"Dianne, What are we going to have for lunch?" A girl with a tan skin tone asked.

"Erm, I dont feel hungry, I dont think I will be joining you." I answered

"But babe, I am gonna be alone." She asked

"I am sorry, I don't feel like having anything right now." I said

"Well, okay" and she walked out the classroom.

Looking at her back and I thought, what's so special about her? She ain't pretty, don't even mention about body figure. Why? Why her? I know I might be taking my dream too serious, but still, I don't get it! I stop thinking and walked out the classroom.
_____________________________________

Can the weather be colder than this? This is madness, I can't feel my ears! My nose is gonna break soon. I was standing at the entrance of the building of my future entertainment company. Oh forget to mention, I am a trainee now and I am expected to be a singer in 10 months time. I looked around and I saw Wendy was talking with someone. I didn't bother until I had a closer look... What the hell!? Is that 'him'!? Why are they looking so happy? damn it! Fine, is not like I am going to die without him, I will be much more successful and...

"Ahh!" I scream when someone touched my ears.

"Hey, why are you standing alone here?" 'he' asked

"What do you want!?" I asked sharply

"Come on, why are you angry?" He asked and took out his ear muffs. He placed his ear muffs on my ears "Your ears are gonna break soon." he smiled

"Take it back." I was angry at myself and jealous of that dream. I wanted to take out my ear muffs and he stopped me.

"Come on now, what's going on?" He asked again "lets go for lunch."

"Lets go babe!" Wendy shouted from the other side

"No." With Wendy? Come on, i just had a dream that I was the light bulb of both of them! give me a break!

"Aren't you hungry?" He asked

"No." I said again and took off the ear muff and gave it back to him "Bye!" I walked away.

I know I am acting like a demanding princess right now, but you just don't understand how annoying was that and it was about to happen in front of me. I just want to be alone and cry in my both room once i reached my room. that's all. so leave me alone.

I was walking really fast because it was snowing, and someone knocked me from the opposite direction and my brand new Iphone dropped on the floor. I stare at my phone and I teared. What's going on? My life is so darn hard here, i got nobody here with me. I know nothing about this country, I am learning and working really hard and now what? I just lost what I was looking for all the time and my new Iphone as well? Come on, what on earth is wrong with me?

Someone placed a pair of earmuffs on me again and placed my Iphone into my coat's pocket. At that moment, I hope it's 'him', I turned back

"What is wrong with you?" 'he' asked "What's going on?"

"Why are you following me? Aren't you suppose to have lunch with Wendy?" I asked and wiped my tears away with my hand

"I call it off, you are looking really stress out. Are you okay?" He asked

"No. Which part of me looks okay to you?" I asked

"So, what is wrong?" He asked again "Why are you angry at me without a reason?"

"Are you free?" I asked

"Yea.."

"Come with me." I said and I hold his hand. I want to go all the places that Wendy and he went in my dream.
_____________________________________

We went to all the places and finally, we had a break. We were sitting on the bench and sharing a Venti Latte.

"What is all these about?" He asked

"It's nice that most people have gone back to their hometown during Christmas and only people like us who is not born here left in the city." I said without answering his question

"yea, even the paparazzi are on holiday." He said

"Yup! Is must be hard to be a Super Star like you." I teased

"One day, you might end up like me." He said

"Hahaha! I wish!" I said

We were silent and I said "You know, I will never be in a relationship with a super star, never"

"Why?" He stare at me and asked

"Too competitive I guess." I said "I just realised it today, anyway." Or I should say I am being sour grape?

"Bullshit..." He said and laughed

"You will never know how it feels." I said and thought of the dream again

"I love you." he whispered

"Huh!?" I was stunned and looked at him

"I said, I love you." He said

"Is not funny." I said

"I am serious."

"Are you training your acting skill on me? if yes, I will said it was so good that I almost thought it's real." I mocked

"Dianne..." He kissed me on my lips "I really mean what I said."

"whhyyyy?" I asked

"Because you are Dianne." He said

"Ermm.. okayy.."

"Hey, tell me, why were you mad at me just now."

"That's private." I said

"Come on now.."

"No..."

"You silly girl." He said "Im going to finish the Latte if you are not going to tell me."

"Hey! I bought that!" I cried

"Come on!"

"Fine, I had the most annoying dream in my whole life last night!"

"About?"

"Wendy."

"So you were angry because I talked to her?"

"No.."

"Then?"

"Okay fine, I am gonna tell you." I said "I dreamed that both of you were happily dating and i was alone walking behind both of you."

"Wait.. do you mean that Wendy had a thing about me?" He asked

"Yes. Come one! Her Iphone is full of your photos!" I said angrily

"I never look into her phone before, why are you getting mad?"

"just.. just angry."

"Well, you dream is not going to happen and it will never." He hugged me "Come on darling, i thought everyone agreed that she is a bimbo." and both of us laughed

happy cny, peeps.

Can you be crazier than this?


Interviewer: He is a model, a singer, a dancer, a pianist and even an actor. His face is all round Asia, he is the spoke person for more than 10 brands from cars to fashion labels to cosmetic. Let us welcome the A-list super-star! First of all, congratulation on your wedding!

Super-Star: Thank you...

Interviewer: Hi, so how do you feel about being such a famous A-list?

Super-Star: Well, when I realised that I became an over night sensation, I was pretty nervous. I don't know what should I do. However, after so many years, I have eventually got used to it.

Interviewer: Didn't you go for any training? Did they taught you what you should do when you are as famous as now?

Super-Star: Yes, I did go for the training and it was not an easy one. My company wasn't prepared that I will be as famous as now out of a sudden.

Interviewer: You were one of the hottest topic at that time and you gone wild after you announced your relationship with your girlfriend or might as well say it as your wife, How do you feel? Did this impact affect your relationship?

Super-Star: No, it was a relive actually. We were together for 3 years before we announced our relationship to the rest. The reason being was because she was still a trainee of the company and trainees are not suppose to be in a relationship.

Interviewer: Are you worry that your fans might not be happy?

Super-Star: At some point, I have to admit that yes. I know that they are fine with me be in a relationship because when I was filming with Kelly, almost every fans of mine were so looking forward that we will be in a real relationship. However, that's Kelly, but I wasn't with Kelly, I am afraid that they might not accept Diane as my girlfriend because they have such a strong impression that I should be with Kelly.

Interviewer: When both of you announced your relationship, Diane is already an A-list in Asia but she is still very new. Is both of your company mad at your guys?

Super-Star: Yes, both of our managers were very mad, because i was the one who told the reporter without informing them first and they never know this is coming. No one knows that we are in a relationship.

Interviewer: What makes you wanted to tell the public so much that you actually risked you and her career?

Super-Star: Diane. She is a girl, and I am actually a very conventional person. I feel sorry and bad for keep our relationship a secret and made her looks like my mistress. She had pressure from her family as well, even thou she didn't tell me about it but i am certain that her family was very concern that why did't I announce our relationship.

and the interview goes on.
_______________________________________

Today was a long day, I sat on a lazy chair next to a huge window of my house and thought of the interview just now. The interviewer asked me so much about her. It has been 10 years since i know her, and the memory was still vividly in my mind. She came for an audition all the way from her home country....

(Flash back)

"Oh no, I can't dance!" She said

"Oh no, you have to if you want to be a super-star!" A well-dressed women said

"But, oh dear, I will ended up looking like an octopus." She said again

I was staring at her. She looked so elegant and classy but somehow she was so energetic. I am not sure is her a sneakers kinda of girl or a heels kinda of girl. She was like a full package of everything, she did the right thing to come for an audition. She is made to be in the entertainment industry.

"Hey, shouldn't you as a might-be-future senior give her some comment?" Said the women

"Why are you here if you can't dance?" I asked

"I am here because I am here... to audition for acting and modelling." She said "I never sign up for dancing...." She said it so soft almost as if she is whispering to herself but I heard it

"You should know everyone here is a full package. There is no such thing as only an actress or a model." I teased her for fun

"But.. this is not right...." She disagree with me

"This is no Hollywood." The owner of the company walked in and said "If you can't dance, we will not... hire you."

She staring at me as if asking for help, i saw her huge eyes are fill with tears and didn't know what to do.

I have came this far, If i were to give up now, i will ended up looking like a moron! I bought an air ticket here all by myself and if i am going to give up now, all the money will be waste. She thought and said "I will dance but don't laugh at me!"

"Go ahead" Said the owner of the company "She is really pretty isn't she?" He whispered to me

"Yes." I said

"Will she be the second you?" He asked me again

"If she is as hard working." I answered "Stop dancing, you indeed look like an octopus."

"Thank you." She said and blushed

"Thank you, for joining us today. We will inform you in two weeks time." The women said

"Thank you." She said again and left the room

"What do you think?" The owner asked the women

"I like her. she is very cheerful." She said "how about you.... Hey where is he?"

"I don't know when did he left the room." Said the owner

"Oh my god is snowing...." She whispered to herself "I hate it!"

"Hey, Do you need a ride?" I asked "My car is right in front."

"Erm.. is it okay?" She asked

"Yea, no one is following me since I am on holiday now." I said

"Thank you..." She said

The traffic was crazy. I admit, i knew that the traffic is gonna be this crazy at this hour and at this road. Yes, I set her up, I want to know more about her.I am not a flirty guy that will ask for number the first time I know her, perhaps it will be easier to ask for a number after an hour of bad traffic in the car.

"So, how was the audition?" I asked

"Huh?" She looked at me with her huge eyes "Arent you there as well...?"

"erm, i mean how did you feel about it."

"It's horrible." She said "Sigh.. I shouldn't be here in the first place, I should have listen to my father and be a good girl and.."

"Hey, you don't even know the result yet." I said and thought that they will accept her as a trainee for sure. she has the look, she already looks like a star even she is not now.

"The traffic is crazy." She said "I am feeling so tired"

I was silent and after 15 minutes, I realised she fall asleep. How could she? Fall asleep when I am driving right next to her? isn't she suppose to be staring at me instead?

"Hey.. wake up, we have reached your hotel." She didn't give me any respond so I lightly slapped her face.

"Emmm?" She opened her eyes and realised how near I was, she quickly wakes up and her head hit on mine. very hardly.

"Ouch!" She cried "Sorry, I shouldnt.. I didnt know know that you were that close..."

"Is okay.." I said

"Thank you for the ride.." She said and quickly opened the door

"Hey, wait..!"

"What?" She turned and her lips touched mine. We freeze for about 30 seconds and she quickly turned away.

"I am sorry..." She said "What did you... want.."

"Your phone number.." I said and I felt like a teenage boy who is asking number for the very first time. "And your msn, facebook and twitter.." I asked. i thought since i have already embarrassed my self, why not ask for more

She wrote it on a paper and passed it to me.

"Hey, why do you want to be in the entertainment line? and why here? why not somewhere else, such as your own country?" I asked

"I will tell you one day, if I think you should know." She said and walked away.

Since then we became really close and eventually we turned into couple. After 3 years, we decided to announce our relationship and after 7 years, we got married.

"Holy shit! it has been 10 years!?" I cried and I woke up form my flash back. I saw a busy women cooking in my kitchen, yes she is my wife, Diane.

"Honey, please bathe now, dinner is almost ready." She cried

"Okay!" I answered and walked to the bathroom. A yellow post it was on the mirror. it written:

I came all the way from my home country and gave up everything there for the audition because I love you, I want to meet you. You know, I am your craziest fans and now I am your wife!

Love,
Diane

"Diane, you are mad! But I love you!" I cried from the bathroom to the kitchen


End. Happy early valentine day folks!
