'Sorry to be doing this to you' he told her. She felt his sincerity, inhaled a deep breath and assured him...
'It's not your fault baby, I know if you had a choice you wouldn't leave me at all'
Early January 2006. Summer. A new year has just commenced and no one was aware of the significant impact this new beginning of the year was going to be for the future of two ordinary young people.

Chapter One: [BumbOi s2 Me mOrE DeN WoRdZ]
During the Christmas holidays of January 2006, I was 14 years old and met someone I had no idea would change my life forever. He was 17 years young then. It started off as a trip to Perth, no different than any other I had been on throughout the years. I was introduced by Alan Tu and became the fresh face of Northbridge where I met him, Ivan Tan along with the other group of boys. The first day we met we spent the whole day together, observant and distant. It wasn't until we were at Cyber Net (CN) that I initiated our first conversation to a friendship that followed, suggesting him to 'add me up' on MSN. I met Ivan towards the end of my holiday and therefore our days were numbered. The one thing that has never changed.
He left me a first comment on 29th January on Hi5 mentioning 'Glad to haf met u cynthia!'
For me it wasn't love at first sight but there was something as special that left a lasting impression. He was so welcoming and he had an unavoidable aura that made me smile at his presence. At the time I met Ivan, I was crushing on Alan Tu but he never made me happy the way Ivan did and it seemed he realized, including in his first comment that I was 'alwayz smilin '. Alan never manage to make me smile nor provide me with the warmth that I desired, instead Ivan superseded. During the last few days of my trip, we grew closer and he became 'The One' that I felt a natural bond with. Soon, the day that I departed edged closer and I was left with more people to miss and farewell. I left him with a simple hug..
