Kelly opened the door. Mark stood there, smiling, holding a box and a paper bag. He was wearing an ill-fitting gray suit, a green shirt, a bright red tie, and brown shoes. Kelly almost laughed out loud. The fact that Mark had no sense of style was somehow endearing. She had known too many men whose egos were invovled in how elegant they thought they looked.
*

At the end of the evening, Mark said, "I hope we can do this again."
"Yes, I would like that."
"What's your favourite thing to do, Kelly?"
"I enjoy soccer games. Do you like soccer?"
A blank look came over Mark's face. "Oh- er- yes. I-I love it"
He's such a poor liar, Kelly thought. A mischievious idea came into her head. "Theres a championship game Saturday night. Would you like to go?"
Mark swallowed and said weakly, "Sure. Great."
*

The stadium was packed. As Kelly and Mark were ushered to their seats directly above midfield, Kelly said, "I'm impressed. These seats are hard to get."
Mark smiled and said, "When you love soccer as much as I do, nothing is impossible."
Kelly bit her lip to keep from laughing. She could not wait for the game to begin.

It was a frenzied, exciting game but it was diffuclt for Kelly to concentrate. She kept looking at Mark, amazed by his expertise. How could I have been so wrong?

As they were leaving the stadium, Kelly asked," Mark- how long have you been interested in soccer?"
He looked at Kelly sheepishly and said," About three days. I've been researching it on my computer. Since you're so interested, I thought I should learn about it too."
*

Mark is dead.. Mark is dead... Mark is dead. The words became a dirge pulsing through Kelly's brain.
Did you die because of me? Something I did? Something I didn't do? I was alseep when you left today, and I didn't have a chance to say goodbye, to kiss you and tell you I love you. Help me, Mark. Help me- the way you always helped me..."
*

Your husband didn't just die. He was murdered.

Slack day in school today. We met our new tutor and wellllll, its still too early to judge him but he definitely isn't the lively happy tutor Mrs Yap was. More like the typical Maths Lecturer style. Straight, Blocky, Brilliant, Shirt and Pants, Neat. hahah okay I'm being evil and stereotypical. Swimming was quite slack cause we just learnt to kick off and blah. Damn embarassing lah the instructor was like okay "one two three everybody GO!" and we were all supposed to kick off and swim but to my horror, I kicked right into the hole in the pool "staircase" and my ankle got stuck there! hahahah! So obviously I can't move and ouch lah, my poor leg. Ate at the pool cafe and my goodness! It's daylight robbery!! Fried rice with one sausage and nuggets for $3.50!! /: /: /: It's heartattacking! Yeah fine. Tutorials after that but I wasn't really paying attention.

After school we (Soph, Eunice Sam and I) set to work on Valerie's present and we gave it to her. haha. Unfortunately, our brilliant acting skills did not manage to keep brilliant Valerie in the dark and she wasn't surpised! ): Duh lah, all of us are blur like a whirling car wheel. Aww, mission failed but its okay! :D Soph has the best art sense ever! You all should just see her painting man! :D
Left for Comm Serve with YiWei and the bus took really ages so when we reached town, it was already 4.30! So we figured, no point going there anw so we went Taka to eat instead /: Can you believe it! hahah!

But on a sidenote, Cream Puffs at Taka at now $1.20 instead of $2! (: heehee. Cheap right!
And being nice yueqi, I bought one for my brother but that lazy boy is hibernating /: Now the cream puff is a little soggy /:

I propaganda-ed YiWei to be nice and buy some pastries back for her sisters too! And YiWei did!
YiWei is really getting nicer! Not bad not bad! From having cat fights with her sisters to buying hotdog buns for them, its a gargantuan change of character :D (okay she's gonna kill me)

Dinnertime! :D
