About Me
If, I ever found
A wishing carpet lying around,
I'd stand upon it and I'd say:
"Take me to his side, right away!"
And then we'd travel very far
To where the magic countries are
That you and I will never see
And choose the loveliest gifts for you, from me.
I was grocery shopping today when I saw a boy of about 14 years old. When I first set my eyes on him, I became entranced immediately and without knowing it, I started following him for quite a while. I was so enticed by the way he looked, the way he dressed, the way he walked and the way he talked.
You see, he resembled someone whom I hold very closely to my heart. He resembled my Ombala so much that you would have thought that he was a carbon copy of Chan. The same long sideburn, the same floppy fringe. The same solid jawline, the same set of eyes, the same smile. The same shirt + shorts ensemble, the same length as those that Chan always wore. The way he flopped his flipflops, the way he played with his flipflops while standing. The way he talked and expressed himself was the same albeit this unknown boy talked with an American accent, something which Chan would never have.
I don't know why but as I am sitting here typing this out, there's this overwhelming sense of loss and yearning. So bad that the tears are at the corner of my eyes.
I miss Ombala, I don't deny it. There are so many times when I wish I could go back there. I said I will leave everything here just to go back and if I could, I would. Knowing that a fresh batch of YEPians '07, inclusive of Ms Frosty Princess, is going over there in August, I feel sadness engulfing me. I could have gone over, but I chose not to in the end. I don't know what I was thinking, but it is too late to regret now.
