Wow, i can't believe who i just met on the bus on the way to work. This is uber weird.

I bumped into the guy i lost my first kiss to!

Ha, yes that is weird but well, i wasn't exactly a willing party and no, i don' t think he was either. Maybe because it happened way back in kindergarten!

This was what went down. It was my end of kindergarten graduation ceremony, and being at a private child-care centre, we pretty much got to do anything we wanted. My teachers decided that it would be cool, or cute, to see us act out a version of Sleeping Beauty! Yes, Sleeping Beauty, the fairy-tale. So everyone got arrowed to play a certain part and of course, all the girls were dying to play the lead role. Well, i half wanted it, but i thought it would be cool to be the wicked witch as well, cos it would increase my repertoire of roles, rather than always playing the damsel in distress. (well i was Miss Muffet, the year before, kena scared by the spider...tsk)

OK... story continues... and somehow or another, i kena arrowed to play Sleeping Beauty. Well, it was kinda a thrill to receive high accolades for my acting, so early on in life, but the scary thing is, i found out that there was a kissing scene in it! *insert traumatised face* The silly teachers were not going to remove the scene as they thought it was crucial to the plot! ARGH! Ok, well, thank goodness, it was not a slobbering-wet-kiss kinda scene, but more like a peck on the cheek kind. (and no, of course no tongue, we were in blardy KINDERGARTEN!)But. it was still scary to a 5 year old kid. Every time we had a rehearsal, and after the "kiss" i would quickly wipe my cheek with my hankie, except for the real performance itself. I was just smiling and trying hard not to think about it, concentrating on the scene. HA.

And well, i bumped into Mr "Prince Charming" on the bus today! It was awkward cos i think he recognised me, and of course i couldn't forget that face. He's quite cute, but i seem to rem another cuter guy in my class, who got the role of the WICKED WITCH... what a waste, i know.
Ha, dang, and i woke up kinda late, so hair was in a mess, grab a frumpy outfit and left, not thinking i would bump into anyone.

It has been a good 18 years since it happened, so it is a wonder how some events stay in your memories and you remember them so clearly even though it is more than a decade ago. Though a tad traumatising, it is fond... the good old days.
