first crush. :)

Everyone has their own versions of first crushes. :)

Girls out there, have you ever thought about your first crush? Not that lovey-dovey-too-sweet-to-forget-i-love-you first love, what I meant here was the first crush that made you really noticed boys for the first time and thought "hmm, I know boys are disgusting but he IS kind of cute..." hahahaha :)

I don't know why but I suddenly thought about my own first crush. Haha. Gatal! ;) It was kinda funny you see, because I don't even know that it was something called a crush. Back then I was still a kid, around 9 years old I guess. (compared to kids nowadays, that age is kinda old already. Kids nowadays already knows about love and boyfriends and girlfriends from as young as 3 years old. I mean, what the heck?? Kids mature sooooo fast now, its getting scary -,- )

Anyways, at that time, I was on a trip to Sabah with my family. We traveled by car (all 5 to 6 cars in a convoy) from Kuching and all the way to Kota Kinabalu. The problem is, I don't really remember the things that happened and what we did during that trip because I was quite young at that time and it was, like, 12 years ago? And I don't have a strong memory, so to speak.

But what I do remember is about this boy, aged 10 years old at that time if I'm not mistaken. He was the son of my mum's friend who lived in Kota Kinabalu. The name of the boy was Farid, and he was a Sabahan. He had a Pakistani-looks, big dark brown eyes and was a bit shorter than me. But yeah, the moment I saw him, that was when I said (refer 1st paragraph) HAHAHA!

I don't remember much about talking with him, or did or did I not talked to him at all, but what I do know that I often sneaked a look at him at every chance I got. I like the way he talked, with that Sabahan slang of his, and I think that was the moment which I first started to love hearing the attractive Sabahan slang. It has some kind of rhythm to it, you know? :)

Anyways other than that, I didn't remember much all the other details, but I don't think all of us spent a lot of time together because we were traveling from Kota Kinabalu to a few other parts of Sabah (Kundasang, Sandakan, Lahad Datu, Tawau, Sempoerna, etc) so it was pretty much it. My family and I took pictures with him, and as soon as the pictures were developed, I remembered about taking one of the photos and sticking it on my shelf besides my desk in my room. Haha.

So that's the story of my first crush. Nothing major, nothing outrageous, just to show that at some point of our adolescent life, or coming to be an adolescent, for sure there would be experience some sort of first crushes. The way it started or bloomed was always an interesting thing to know. :)

Til this day, I still thought about this Farid occasionally and would laughed and smiled when thinking about it everytime. I don't even know his full name, only that one word of a name. I don't know where he is right now and there's no way he would remember me because, after all, he was not the one who had the very-the-innocent crush towards me, isn't it? HAHA.

Oh what's with the sudden "walking down memory lane?" Hehe weird.
