I was at the airport, just got into Hong Kong, a little tired from being cramped up for 4 hours.. As I walked into immigration to have my passport stamp.. a gal caught my attention. She is pretty, big round eyes and long straight hair and her Sleeveless top was a dead giveaway that she is more Singaporean than Hong Kong-er.  She was on her own, but I noticed she was glancing toward another counter where a slight well build good looking guy was also having his passport stamp.. Judging by the way their eyes were “talking” to each other. It looked like they were on a trip together but they choose to queue at separate booths.  She completed her immigration process first and waited for him.. As he approached towards her, she let out a big smile and their shared a very affectionate kiss… Ah, another happy couple finishing their weekend holiday off with a warm kiss… Me on the other hand, walked alone towards to belt to pick up my check in suitcase. It took forever and after 20min, my oversized golf bag finally showed up and I just lugged it along, forgetting the trolley… Then, right in front there she is, the pretty gal, but she is walking through the custom check all by herself. The guy whom she just embraced was nowhere to be seen.  I can’t help but wonder. Was their trip a secret rendezvous? Are they leading their lives dangerously, a deep affair that can only be transacted in private.

I just can’t help but wonder how much of this goes on everyday in our lives.

A few months ago, think Sept last yr, 7.30am, I boarded onto a minibus to begin my weekly pilgrimage to china for a full day of wakeboarding. I was still in a dreamy state as I had just spent a wonderful evening and night with a special someone whom I was deeply in love with.  There was a young lady sitting behind me. She was on a phone conversation with someone whom I concluded would be her boyfriend and from their sweet and soft manner she talked, I can only guess that they too had just spent a wonderful evening and she was on her way home, at 7.30 in the morning. Actually, I didn’t have to guess; she did described how much a nice time she just had with him. On a minibus, you can hear everyone’s conversation. Then another call came into her line and everything’s changed.. her tone was harsher and she sounded impatient. Judging by the conversation, the incoming call was her “boyfriend” who just demanded where she “disappeared” too the whole night. Her reply was she just completed a whole nights of Mahjong and am tired and don’t appreciate she being summon by him in that manner.  That day, I thanked God that I had a wonderful relationship and I prayed that such deceitful relationships would never happen to me.
