It's GONE..
It was working fine...
It's my faithful companion for 3 years..
It gave me strength to keep me moving..
What am I talking about huh?
It's my WATCH..
Had been wearing it for the past 3 years...now.. it's gone just like that. Felt so sad..How did it all begun? Well, let's see...
*FLASHBACK*
Year 2003:
Went to a Pasar Malam near Jurong Point. Look around all the stores, then it struck. The connection was so strong, can't keep my eyes off of it. The glimpse of that sparking blue ray of light almost blinded me..haha! There it was, a blue- metallic faced watch. I tried it on and it suited me just right. I knew it was the ONE. Immediately, I enquired about the price of that precious item...
FaTeBoY: "Uncle, How much ah?"
Store Owner: "eh? Oh! This one ah... 10 bucks."
*I was stunned for a moment..SO DARN CHEAP!*
I did wonder, whether this watch would last. Only 10 bucks, maybe it won't last for long. OH WELL, I might as well give it a try. ONLY 10 bucks ma! Still C-H-E-A-P! HAHA!
*~~~~~~~~~~
That proved to be a wise decision. From that day onwards, I wore my precious watch almost every single day. Got numerous praises from my friends. Everyone thought that it was very expensive. HA.. once I told them the price, they all stunned.
There was once my watch's battery went dead flat, I thought it's all over, hehe.. but I still managed to replaced the battery and got it to work.
Never had I felt so closely attached to a particular "non-human" item before. It was really fate that brought us together. And well, it was also fate, that pulled us apart.
On that ill-fated day, I still remember, 18th May 2006, it's life span ended, the once sparkling blue faded, the time needle stopped..NO, it's not battery flat, it's the mechanism problem.
My heart almost stopped beating.. It felt terrible, I did not throw it away, as my feeling for it will never die. I am still not sure if it can ever be fixed. I won't give it up so easily.
Yes, I am a sentimental BOY..I know that I am being silly. Ha, but that is me..
If I can ever, talk to my watch, I will thanked it for all the precious moments that it had given me.
I will never forget you...
