We are all smart until we fall in love

When u like someone so much, u'd do things u never imagined u would.
Go the extra mile just to show how much u're into that someone.
At the same time trying to keep ur cool so it won't appear that obvious (but most of the time he/she already knew).
And that's what I witnessed last Sunday at the Padawan Raft Safari.
A great friend of mine likes this guy soooo much (I wouldn't dare use the word love coz she would definitely deny it) that she ventured to the depth of the jungle just to see him compete.
Ok, maybe I exaggerated a bit.
But she did go there, with me tagging along, to show her support for him & his team (obviously the latter was just an excuse).
We arrived at Kpg Temurang after an hour journey, about 8.15am.
(Yup, that's how excited we were)
Once we got there, we were told that rafting teams had took off at 8 so thinking that we just missed him, we decided to wait at a neighbouring village, Kpg Semedang knowing that he'd pass there a few hours later.

So we waited.

And waited.

And waited.

And waited.

Until 5 hours & 15 minutes later..

Me: I think someone's approaching but it looks like a kayak. He should be on a raft right?

Her: Yup, he told me he'd be competing in the rafting category not kayakking.*talking while on the phone with someone, obviously distracted*

Me: But he kinda looks like him, don't u think? U know I have horrible eyesight.*squinting*
Me: It's him! It's him! Wave quick!

Her: Encik ...... ! (name not to be disclosed for privacy purposes) *while still on the phone & waving like crazy*

Eventhough I couldn't clearly see his face, I knew for sure he was stunned.
He looked loooong & hard at us & finally waved back.
But that didn't stop him from keep looking til we're out of each others' sight.
Maybe he didn't expect to see us there, waiting under the sun & rain, bitten by insects, teased by a group of drunk supporters just to get a glimpse of him.

Her: OMG! What did I just do? I'm embarassed! *her face so red, I feel like rolling on the floor laughing*

Me: U just did what comes natural to u. *still grinning like a cheshire cat on drugs*

So the two of us made our way to the finishing point at Kpg Git & thank God we didn't bump onto him.
Turned out, he woked up late that morning so he couldn't participate in the rafting category & he was on the kayak just for fun (which included almost 2 hours of ciggy break in between).
No wonder it took us like forever to see him pass by.
Pffft.

But, that didn't deter her feelings for him at all.
She still feels the same way (maybe even more) for him.
The things u do for love.
*sighing with dreamy eyes*
