Flash Back!
dari Mbak Teh
Sekedar ngasih tau, kalau aku mau cicil post di sini.. jadi ini flash back dari catatan-catatan yang sempat aku bikin.. buat, dan tentangmu. Barangkali, karena sekarang kita sudah tau (hampir) luar dalam (how amazing is that?), ada kemungkinan kita tersenyum-senyum sendiri.. Lucu sih.
On The Phone, With Ly
17th July 2007
Have spoken to my new pal, Laily on the phone for few times now. Honestly I still find it difficult to put a voice to her face, which I have known a bit longer. Not that I say, one of them is better than the other, but it's awkward to get them both matched the way I have anticipated.
Surely by the time we meet, they'll both fit in perfectly. Kind of miss the chatting we had online, but she's been phoning to make it up. How sweet.
Cannot wait to meet her.
Meeting Ly
18th July 2007
Ly said on the phone that she might pop over this afternoon. I wasn't expecting too much because it rained outside. But then the phone rang and Ly was there saying, "Hi, could you please open the gate? I am outside."
Very surprised.
Even more surprised to find she looked young(er) than her pictures I've seen. Smaller (or.. more likely, shorter) than I thought she was. She has met my mother before so no more introduction. Hannah liked her straightaway and kept taking photos of all events.
We talked just like we always have, online. A bit weird for me but it didn't last long. Everything was just the way it has always been. Friendly. And I do feel like I've known her for a long time.
Ly met my other half. Talked.
About 2030 we took her home. And she said she might come again tomorrow.
Great!

Early morning. I had a phone call. Ly congratulated me on my 6th Anniversary to Rob, and mentioned that she'd bought a cake for us. Oh wow. I was litterally flattered!
I didn't have any special plan because I was doing a lot of chores at home. I couldn't go out to get something special for our anniversary. And Ly, being a friend of ours, did it.
Later on, she phoned back to say she was stuck at work and couldn't deliver the cake. I thought as she asked, we might pop around her place to collect it on the way (we'd just decided that we're going out for dinner as celebration) but one thing lead to another, we left at 8pm! (Ly knows how I hate eating late!!) We finished at 10 and it's too late to get the cake anyway. Ly said that she would bring it over tomorrow.
What an angel..

Ly arrived early evening. I was still in the bathroom and rather panicked, didn't want to keep her waiting. She came with the cake she bought for our anniversary and 4 small packages of cherries, which is greatly appreciated!
She watched me bathing Hannah. She played with her patiently.
(surely, she will definitely make a good mother)
We decided to take her out for dinner. Quite late for my liking but we went anyway. Bunga Bali was the option. I had a beef goulash for starter and calamari as a main dish while Ly had salad and fish and chips.
So far, I've had good times with her.
