You're beautiful

Gotta run off to meet someone ....

The person I met up with last Friday was Legolas. Or Leggy Lego Legs for short.

I was fashionably ten minutes late because of the rain and he was at Times Square even before six, the time we agreed on.

He said he was at Starbucks waiting for me. I had in my mind images of how he might look like – blonde longish hair, meltingly sweet smile, carrying bows and arrows – which of course were illogical.

I stepped into Starbucks and immediately noticed him because he was the only one sitting alone at a table I have seen his picture before. Obviously, I apologized profusely for being late and thankfully, he had a book to read to pass the time.

This would be the "Awww, shucks!" moment of the evening as he gave me a gift.

How can? First meet only and giving gifts already and there I was empty-handed.

I thought it was a book, a thin one, and put it away in my bag.

After a short conversation, we proceeded to this Thai restaurant called Siam Square. I suggested the place, though I haven’t been there before.

Me being directionally-challenged The floor plan being user-unfriendly (the red dot which says “You are here” was wrong) it took me a couple of minutes to figure out the location of the place.

The food was quite good. Palatable lar. Will probably go there again.

To side track a little here. Actually, the place we agreed on earlier was KLCC. But as the TSG (The Straits Games) organized by LPG, which kicked off with bowling, was being held in Sungei Wang Plaza, I suggested Times Square instead.

The Straits (Straights?) Games (TSG) started in 2002 as a friendly annual sports event between the LGBT communities in Singapore(MAW) and KL to foster friendship and promote a healthy lifestyle.TSG2005 'Friendship Beyond Games' aims to raise HIV/AIDS awareness as well.

While we were having dinner, my colleague who was one of the volunteers for the event, called and asked what time we would be joining him. We quickly paid and headed for Sungei Wang.

I was not taking part, but I wanted to ogle at the cute Hongkies, Singaporeans, Thais players show support to the players.

Only the bowling participants were there, while the volleyball, badminton and squash players were shopping or sightseeing or doing whatever else that interest them.

The Singaporeans and Hongkies were cute. There were three Japanese players but none took part in bowling, thus I didn’t get to see them.

Apparently, they were extremely cute too.

I was busy talking to some of the people there that I kinda ignored Legs *looks embarrassed*

But, but ... luckily my friend was talking to him. And we managed to find out what kind of physical appearance turns Legs on, when he commented on one sexy and hunky Hongkie dressed in a tight tee.

We left the bowling alley at nine. Legs had earlier suggested going to his friend’s friend’s birthday party. He said we won’t be party-crashers, as he didn’t know the birthday boy either.

While waiting for his friend to come pick us up, we sat down at Starbucks for a cuppa.

Needless to say, it was an excellent opportunity to get to know him better.

Legs is friendly, and clearly, a generous person. Although he is a bit pessimistic of his future, as in difficulty in finding someone for a long-term relationship, the breeders don’t have it easier anyways. They too have to look for the needle in the haystack or the pearl in the sand, as marriage is supposed to be a lifetime covenant.

So cheer up, Legs. Meet more people. Have more sex. Go out more often. Live life to the fullest.

Anyway, the gift from Legs was a CD by James Blunt called “Back to Bedlam”. Cool CD actually, with the first single “You’re Beautiful” getting quite a lot of airplay for some time already.

It also went to the top of the UK chart in July.

Heh, it was really sweet of him. I really like it a lot. ;P

Thanks again, Legs. You're Beautiful, it's true.

You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
- You're Beautiful, James Blunt

You're Beautiful - believe that, and I am certain that you will find someone who will truly love you for you.
