Three weeks back, my canteengirl sent me a WhatsApp message, which was very rare. Since I am always the initiator of a chat. Ya, I was quite surprised by her message. She asked me for advice: which lens to buy, since she wants to substitude her kitlens. Before you get wrong, she is not looking for contacting me via a so-called 'excuse', OK? As far as my 6th sense said, she is totally not interested in me at all. Maybe, I start liking her, but my feeling said "don't go for her"! I dunno where this feel comes from...
Anyway, so, I went to do a research on www to find the lens that she might like. My research ended up in nothing good, since she didn't like my choices. After chatting with her on WhatsApp and going out for dinner, I realised what she was really want to. Then a second research has been started and this time, I succeed to make her happy. I was very glad to see her very happy mail back. Also, that is very rare. As far as I know her, she does not smile a lot. At least, not with my present. :P
After deciding which lens she like to have, I was looking through www where to buy that lens for the lowest price. I also have looked at second hand shops, since she has no problem with a 2nd hand lens. I managed to get a very good deal. However, someone bought that lens already. I felt very sad, since I did not want to disappoint her. But I finally did. I also told her that I was a bit late with closing the deal. She was not mad at me. She didn't show any unhappy face.
I didn't give up my hope, although that deal was the best deal I could find. I also know that finding the same deal is actually impossible. But 天拴好过人拴. I think 老天爷 is at my back. One day, when I check the www, I saw that lens on sale which was priced the same as the first adv. So, I contacted the seller immediately. He was very surprised that I contacted him so fast: he only posted the adv a few minutes back. I told him, I wanted to make impression for my girl friend. hahaha...He was laughing too!
I told my canteengirl about the new deal. And I made an appointment with the seller to check and collect the lens. At the day of collection, which was last Wednesday, he forgot to bring the lens with him. He also forget the appointment. I was so scared he sold the lens. But luckily he didn't! That day, I spent 3 hours to settle down the deal + checking the lens + collecting the item. I travelled from the one hop to another hop. The seller reduced the price since it was very troublesome for me. And he could manage to get 2 years warranty for the lens, since he is working at a photography shop. I really feel the present of 老天爷 at my back. I did so many deals, but I never got such a good deal.
When I was back at my room, I went to eat something, since I was very hungry. It was a long journey to pleasure my canteengirl: I need to spend money on travelling + I need to spend my time to go from A to B, from B to C and from C to D + I have to starve, since I have promised my canteengirl to bring her the lens after her work.
So, here I was. At the front of her office. Waiting for her to collect her lens. As what I expected, "Thank you Karfee!". Nothing unexpected happened. The cupido was still not around me, although 老天爷 had helped me that day so much.
I think she is not the girl for me. I can easily get in touch with many girls: pretty ones, model ones, funny ones etc. We could talk and laugh so much. But in case of my canteengirl, this chapter of the book is missing. We have a common thing: photography. I have more contacts with her. But that is it. As Annie said, love can be bitter and though. I feel the though one. Maybe love does not exist in my life, since it has never started and what I get is only the bitterness and the pain from my effort.
