Hi all brothers, I would like to share my experiences with a WL that happened 2 years ago. First off, I seek your understanding that in this story there will be bits and pieces missing and if so, let me know so that I may be able to fill it in.

Also, I came to realize how naive and stupid I was after the whole encounter was over, and came to terms to with it. Here goes:

In end Oct2006, I was traveling on my way back to SG from HK after my off-site meeting in Shenzhen. As I was a little late in the check-in and at custom, I rushed my way to my seat and while putting my hand luggage into the top compartment, I noticed a fair lady and based on looks, she is in her mid 30s. I would not say that she is a stunner, but she's not that bad looking either.

The plane took off and nothing happened in the first hour or so. While watching the inflight movie, I noticed that she had the immigration card with her and seems to have difficulty in filling up the card. Being "Gey Kiang", I offered to fill up the card on her behalf. Therefore I have the opportunity to look at her passport details. She is from Sichuan (later on I learned that she's from Lu Zhou) , had a two year visa and she was 40 years old at that point of time! After filling up the IC, we kinda started to make small talks.

I asked her why is she traveling to Singapore and alone and it might not be wise for her to come alone, especially when that was the first time overseas. The reason she gave was that she was looking for business opportunities in Singapore and that there is a close friend that is staying in Singapore. Besides, she claimed that eversince young, she is very independent and is able to take care of herself. Of course, the lies and the truths were mixed together to piece up a rather credible story. As we chat, try to learn about her family background and of course since she is her first time here, recommend some of the places for sight seeing.

Time passes fast, and at that point of time, I was enjoying her company. Frankly, bonking her was never in my mind at that point of time. While walking towards the customs, I noticed that she was not very comfortable and thinking about how she's going to meet her friend in the airport, I offered my phone so that she can call her friend to confirm that she had reached and that her friend is now waiting for her. She managed to get hold of her friend, and they were chatting in their native Sichuan dialect. After that, I proceeded to the custom and to get my luggage. I went home straight after that.

After I had reached home, I message her friend (since she used my phone to call her friend) to find out if she managed to meet her friend and advise her to turn in early after her flight. Well, no reply. I was thinking that oh well, I have done what can be done and if she missed her friend well, just too bad.

3 days passed, and I have already immersed myself with work, and forgotten completely about the sms, when suddenly I received an unfamiliar sms. Reading through the sms I realised she got herself a prepaid card and thank me for the help rendered to her so far. I told her that it was okay and am glad that I was able to help her. I even offer to buy her lunch， 替她洗尘. No big deal anyway, and the date set was on a Saturday afternoon.

We exchanged a few more smses for the next few days and on that Saturday, we met up and proceed to go to TQL Street. Managed to find out that TQL does have native Sichuan 火锅. Lunch went on smoothly, and we chat along the way. After lunch, I brought her to the East Coast park to enjoy the sand and the sea. At the beach, she was saying that she has difficulty adjusting the life here in Singapore, and trying to find business opportunities is just too difficult. I do give her some encouragement that though life in Singapore is never easy, if one can put effort and focus into the things that need to be done, you can be successful eventually. We talked until evening, and quite frankly I was already kind of attracted to her. Again at this point of time, no thoughts of bonking her yet.

To be continued....

To those bros who find this too long winded, please let me know. I will continue this story later on.
