the REAL me.

I'd love to post the original version by Air Supply, but unfortunately I can't embed the video, so if you wish, please visit the YouTube page. Also, you may wish to enjoy the cover by Westlife and Delta Goodrem in the video above too.

Anyway, I still vividly remember this incident during my stint in Starhub. A customer was inquiring on her connecting tone a.k.a. Call Tones, which was the song All Out Of Love by Air Supply. She was rather.. horrified when she found out that the connecting tone was expiring on her birthday. She then continued to explain to me how that song meant so much to her and it must not expire on her birthday.

So I then tried to teach her how to renew the connecting tone, but failed to do so because she was too unfamiliar with the interface. She then pleaded (no kidding, she sounded really desperate) for me to help her renew it on my end. And of course, how could I refuse?

So after I completed the good deed, she thanked me profusely, and reiterated how important that song was to her. And the next thing that came was totally unexpected. She asked if I had a girlfriend, to which I obviously answered no. And then she proceeded to wish me good luck in love. And the call ended there.

After that, I thought about what traumatic experience she must have been through, such that this is the most important song in her life. I told this incident to some friends and one of them commented that it's funny how she's so persistent in ensuring it remains as her connecting tone, when it's the callers who hear the song and not her.

But either case, it seems that the good luck she wished upon me didn't have much effect, which should be pretty obvious from the fact that I'm blogging right now. And, it seems to me that my life may end up like that customer's after all.

It was, on a Thursday probably 3 weeks ago, when I got rather emo. And then I don't know why, but I suddenly started thinking of her. It's been almost 6 years now.. And yet, I still can't forget her. And I don't know if I'll ever be able to.

There's so much that I want to tell her, but yet.. I know I can't. I'd rather she be happy, instead of knowing that someone is thinking of her. I guess how I feel can be summed up by my favourite song from 五月天 Mayday, 《听不到》:



But after not having close contact with her for so long, I realize how little I know about her now. And I believe she probably had an enjoyable time with a significant other today. But the best part is, I don't even know if that significant other exists. How nice.

I guess it's supposed to be embarrassing to say all these here. But, I guess it's good for me to chronicle how I spent Valentine's Day this year. Other than having a hot and sweaty session with 30 guys in the morning in a 船 (not 床), of course. And, I guess she probably won't be reading all these, since I'm not really of any importance to her, I guess. And even if she does end up reading this, I hope she won't realize I'm talking about her. She probably wouldn't. And in the meantime, I shall continue listening to All Out Of Love..
