It's all like another cliché soap drama. What's my life coming to?
Another typical scene from the Channel 8 drama:
The male protagonist was cleaning his cupboard when a black plastic bag fell onto the floor. He knew very well what it was. The precise reason why it was in a black plastic bag.
As he opened it, memories of the fateful past rushed back to his mind, bringing alive the frozen memories, once again. Back with almost a vengeance, to haunt him. All over again.
As he took out the stuffs inside, tears welled up in his eyes.
The box of stars... it was their anniversary gift, something which he kept away for years. Folded stars were almost a very common but special thing for the two of them. He remembered how he had stay up on one of the nights to fold tiny little stars for his girl, during one of the exam periods a few years back in secondary school. Tired as he might be, the thought of putting a smile on his girl was the only motivation force. Finally he did it and true enough, the girl was very appreciative and gave him a hug. Once again, they promised their love for each other.
The baby's glove... "I love Daddy", it said. It was the story of the Nokia 6510 and Nokia 8310. Both phones were about the same size. The boy was working part-time and it was his girl's birthday. "I'm sorry, bao bei. I have to work on your birthday. But can I meet you at your block at night instead?" he said. The girl agreed. He had been so busy that he couldn't find time to even buy a birthday present for his girl. So he went around the shopping mall which he was working at, during lunchtime, to buy a present. "Luckily I'm working at Lot 1." he thought. However big the shopping mall might be, there was really nothing much to give. Teddy bears again, he thought. Then as he walked past Kiddy Palace, he saw this pair of baby gloves.Mmm~ Just the right one, he thought. At night, he skipped dinner and packed a meal at Long John Silver, (at that time, it was still situated on the first level), before he rushed over to take bus 307 to his girl's house. "Bao Bei, I'm here already". Happily, she met him at the designated time. "This is for you...." said the boy as he presented the teddy to her. "And this is for us..." he took out the baby gloves and Long John Silver's meal.
"One day our baby will be saying this to us, bao bei." the boy told her. The girl just smiled. They spent the night just finishing the meal and spending whatever little time that they have together.
"What a gay thing to hang it on your pencil box!" the boy's classmates said. However, he didn't seem to care much. It was a gift from his girl afterall and he's proud of it! It was a testament of their love. Another anniversary gift from his girl! Though it's not exactly clear for how long they have been together.Even as now they're not together now, he wishes her best in everything that she does and hopes that she can find her happiness in her new boy. Even as she has left his life for so long, he's still living in denial.
Their story started on the 11th of February 2002 and ended in August 2004...
