Finally Guy #3- PART TWO

So Guy #3 went to army. He was a MO, medical officer. However, his attitude was such that he continued to serve God whenever he could on stage. I still got to see him on stage once a month. I had his contacts and address from the worship team directory but NOPE, I was not going to call him. I wanted him to come to me so that I could know for sure that he was the ONE and how blest I was.

I Miss Him
Whenever we did meet back stage, (I love to hang out backstage with the musicians and vocals. It's so family) he would share his army stories. He even told me that he was heading Taiwan for military training and came back exclaiming that Taiwan boast of many beautiful girls. Boy!!!Once again I felt I was not beautiful enough for him. When I looked into the mirror I only saw spots, by now, after so much canoeing without sunblock in my JC days, I developed freckles and brownspots all concentrated on my cheeks. I looked like strawberry shortcake sans sunhat!!!!. My complexion had suffered much due to audit work stress and much alcohol and caffine fixes that my skin became combination. Oily and dry at the same time. My beautiful hair was cropped shortest like a boy with a slope when I entered the A Girls Trampoline competition. It was no joke when your own long pony tail slapped you in the face after each somersault. Since then I alternated between shoulder lengthed hair and short bobs. I had short to medium hair at this point.

I really miss him much Lord
Once I missed him so much, I told God I wanted to SEE him. (just see from a distance also good). That day my pleasure craft cruising, horse riding, violin playing, fun filled piano teacher friend suggested we head NYDC at Holland V. We were deciding what to order for our dinner when OMG. He just walked past our table with his arms around another similarly botak army friend. The whole group of MOs just left the restuarant and he was among the last two. OMG. I cant believe my eyes. I told my dinner mate its him. She said " You are Crazy. He should be in army. "It's really him I swear!!!" and bolted out to "catch" him. I called out to him and he was surprised to meet me. I was dumbfolded and tongue tied and so elated to see him at the same time. He lost much weight and looked handsome even though his hair was cropped so short "botak" but alas he had to returned to camp with his gang.

Shopping Experience
The next week, while I was shopping with the NYDC dinnermate, looking at men's clothes, wondering when I be able to buy male attire as a gift, when a familiar voice crept up near my right ear. "You two are shopping again!" (In Mandarin!!) OMG...I shuddered. Its him!!! The same gang of MOs were shopping at Ngee Ann City. I had goosebumps when I met him so suddenly. And why were the army medical officers shopping?????????

There were many other revelations and "prophecies" given by my cell leaders, vocalist friends that I am not at liberty to share. Like wise, I had many more interesting dreams that by now were blurry in details.

It was a matter of time before Guy #3 was to ORD. (complete his national service). In the mean time whenever we did meet at church or on the bus we would chit chat a bit. Unfortunately, he was not very open with his thoughts and feelings type. He's a melancholic choleric temperament whereas I was Sanguine Choleric. Opposites ATTRACT!

Each day I continued to cover him with prayers and as a direct result of praying much I also became much closer to God, my Heavenly Father.

Unexpected Changes
Soon Guy #3 ORD. I was happy and relieved that his army days were over. Hopefully, he would be more ready for our growing friendship. However, he caught me off guard when he signed up with SIF to serve Afghanistan for almost 6 months. His job was to help vaccinate the poor and needy children. This was such an honourable duty that God had indeed gifted him to do so. So off he went, there was no news of him for 6 months. So my waiting period was prolonged.

When he was finally back, he decided to give a shot at stardom and auditioned for the Star Search.I was wondering how his traditional parents would react. And boy!!! Was there WAR in his family when he told his parents that he wanted to GIVE UP his medical career. Any way thank God he was one aged contestant in a competition that favours sweet young things, I did not have to worry about dating a celebrity which to me was horrifying. No privacy!! Unwanted publicity etc. Guy #3 went on to work in several polyclinics and hospitals.

As a very busy young doctor, he stepped down from the worship ministry and was soon hardly seen in church. I called him but he told me he needed a break from attending church services. He was truly that busy.


Still Waiting in Vain
By now almost 3 years had past. I was still waiting in vain. I had not seen him for a while but I did not want to drop by the clinic just to see him. "Come On. It is not appropriate. He is working" I often said to myself. I even sent him tickets to the church album recording concert where I was performing. "As if he had time to attend..Haha" Soon there was a long blackout. I mean there was no news no contact whatever with this busy Guy#3. Each day my heart grew a bit wearier and heavier, could I stop praying soon Lord???Sigh!! Its becoming such a chore!!!!
