[ People Whom I’ll never forget - 4 ]
Name :- Connie
Last saw :- Late 2002..
Venue :- Last Cabin in Mrt as She alights at City Hall
Expected to be :- Happily married and living in Hougang.
People have call the 21st century as the “Age of Information Technology” as newer & more sophisticated gadgets have enabled our communications.
But my form of conversation ever resort to using letters through a pen pal in Singapore, yes, in late 1994 when I was working as a promoter at Robinsons.
Connie was a fellow promoter in another brand and her outgoing personally had made us click as we would talk about all the things that had happened before we met.
Finally, when my stint at Robinsons was over, I plucked up my courage to ask for her phone number.
“ I can’t give you my number, my mum will scold me if guys call my place”
My heart almost came to a standstill as the feeling of rejection creeps in.
“But I can give you my address, then you can write me letters?” Rather stun than happy as least we can still can keep in contact.
Well, its easy to write an email.. but it takes a lot of more effort to write a letter on a piece of paper than you think.
Feeling fresh from rejection, I wrote my first letter to her. And few days later, she returned my mail.. I can still remember the feeling of receiving someone’s letter.
She moved house once but still remain to keep in contact. We remain pen pals through 2001 when she sent her last Chinese New year card. After which there was no contact from her, and as well as me for I was in the mist of work & studies.
The last time I ever saw her after 1994 was in 2001 when she was at the same cabin as me but I wasn’t sure it was her that day
she updated her frienster recently, she was in her wedding gown. She looked really beautiful and I feel really happy for her.
I would have forgotten her face, but I’ve never forget that she was my first pen pal and remain up to date as my only penpal I ever have in my life…
I would write to her one day….
