2 strangers + 1 umbrella (Part 1)

It was 5.15pm, the streets are jammed with cars moving about, ranging from a Ferari to a mere local car. The sky looked beautiful with a shady blue complexion and hints of clouds.
It was in a bus stand. People were waiting for the bus or even a taxi. Some were sitting, some were standing.

A young man was walking slowly towards the bus stand, carrying a black little back pack. He was wearing a light blue shirt with black slacks and a plain white tie. His jacket is hanging on his bag. He stood in front of everyone, ignoring the shade that the roof provided.

Soon after, the bus stand began filling up with people from all walks of life. Some just came out from the comfort of their office while others are just waiting for their transport home. Then, a lady, in her 20's was walking towards the bus stand. She was wearing the typical office wear, white shirt and navy pencil skirt, a Louis Vuitton handbag in her right hand. By now, all spaces under the roof are all taken. So, she stood in front of the bus stand, waiting anxiously for the bus.

Suddenly, what was the last thing anyone would ever wish or at least those under the bus stand began to happen. The cloud began to gather and the sky began to cry.
"Oh no," the lady exclaimed, holding up her hand bag to cover herself from the rain.
The man who was mentioned earlier quickly turned to his back pack and pulled out a nice metallic blue umbrella, opened it up and found shelter for himself under the shadow of the umbrella. He looked at the girl. Nervously, he took a few steps towards her.
"Erm. Excuse me miss, would you like to share my umbrella? I have space." he asked, shyly, hoping she would take his sincere gesture of kindness and would not that he have a bad intention.

The lady looked at him and then turned her sights around.
"Th-thanks." she said and stepped under the umbrella.
After that, it was a quiet evening ahead.

Minutes later, the rain stopped.
"Thank you." the girl said.
"Its nothing. That's the least I could have done." the young man said with a smile.
The lady smiled back.
"Kara," she said, her hand reaching out for a handshake.
"Mack," the man replied, returning the handshake.
"That is a nice name. Mack." Kara said, repeating Mack's name.
"You too." Mack said.
From then on, the two chatted like they knew each other for ages.

Soon after, the bus arrived.
"Oh, thats my ride right there." Kara said.
She then took out her purse and took out a card.
"Here, here's my number. Maybe we could chat some other time." Kara said, handing Mack her business card.
"Kara Lee." Mack read the name written on the card.
"Thanks," he said.
He then took out his cellphone and dialed some numbers.
Kara's cellphone rang.
"And now you have mine." Mack said.
"Thanks. Alright. I have to go now." Kara said as she board the bus.
Mack waved goodbye to her as the bus left.

You Belong With Me (Male Cover editted by Me)

You're on the phone with your boyfriend, He's upset
He's going off about something that you said
He doesn't get your humour like I do

I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music he doesnt like
And he'll never know your story like I do

But he wears jackets, I wear t-shirts
He's team captain and I'm in the chess club
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeans
I cant help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench thinkin to myself
Hey isnt this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I havent seen it in awhile, since he brought you down
You say you find I know you better than that
Hey, Whatcha doing with a guy like that?

He drives sports cars, I drive vintage
He's team captain and I'm in the chess club
Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standin by, waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that?
You belong with me
You belong with me

Oh I remember you calling to my cell in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry
I know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreams
I think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by or waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know that
You belong with me
You belong with me

Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me

Blogging and Facebook course

i think if i ever did a Blogging and Facebook course in school for teachers, a lot will turn up...
cos there are a few teachers who asked us about Facebook and Blogging,
how to do this, how to do that...
so if i do a one hour course, at least the teachers can learn something in return...
hahaha!!!
that'll be awesome!!!
chortle...
why some teachers are Facebooking and Blogging you may ask,
its cos they are now required to take ICT when they further their studies...
so, tomorrow, plans had been made for a one-on-one course with my bio teacher and me during bio time (since only 3 will be coming) for me to help her and also teacher her to do her blog... hehe

Gone but not Forgotten...

To Uncle Suzannah aka BeautifulMan aka Jem

In a few hours, you'll be flying off eh...
I'm not sure if you will or ever read this but i guess I'll just write it up...
I'm not too good with goodbyes so I dont really know what to say (or write)...
just that, Thanks for being such a great person and a part of my life that i would not forget...
i never thought that you would be such a big part of my life when i first met you, but you did though not may not show...
i may not have that many memories with you but all i have to say is,
be safe, be well, eat fruit, and remember, YOUR FAMILY IS ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU...

have a safe flight and remember to FB us when you arrive okay...
sorry i can't go to the airport to send you off but well, safe flight...

and the stuff i gave you,
just wanna tell you this...
a collector never simply gives out stuff from their collection cos it will mean that their collection will be incomplete and usually, we do not replace our items with new ones...
so, the stuff i gave you actually means something okay...
