Читать книгу Happy Go Lucky - Jimmy Chua - Страница 10

Well, time flies and it is time for HAPPY to graduate from secondary school. And this time, he has to decide to go to a junior college, polytechnic or Institute of Technical Education as these are the main choices for him. Of course, he can enlist to serve in the army, police or civil defense force for his National Service too.

At the same time, HAPPY has to decide if he wants to get a girlfriend! He doesn’t have any female friends in his social circle because he was in an All Boys’ School since young! However, he does envy the companionship, movie outings with a girlfriend!

So he was trying to ask around his friends on how to get a girlfriend. Hahaha.. Well all his friends say, just get one and try! Everything has a first time!

The first date was when he tried to ask the girl waiting at the bus stop from his house and she agreed to go out with him as HAPPY was trying to tell her that it is a bet with his secondary school friends and her job is just to have a meal with him and he will win $20. She agreed and he offered to pay her half the prize money.

It was uneventful, just a meal and lots of stuttering from Happy who was really uneasy. His friends noticing him at a corner were laughing non-stop. Well they say Happy provide the laughter and true enough, he is providing the laughter and smiles at this junction. Yes, his friends paid up and you wonder where they get their money from? Working at part-time jobs, pocket money from parents and hopefully not stealing from the shops or people around.

That closed a chapter in his life when he left St Gabriel School.. Happy yet single. Well, HAPPY was feeling that he was lacking something that caused him to be unable to attract the girl of his life to him yet. Maybe he was searching for someone high up in the stars and he wants the girl to be sweet, pretty, cheerful and desirable. Yet, he is fearful of making an approach. So what can he do?

HAPPY lost sleep over it and his parents have to check on him. But MAGIC has the last word, and the trick is simply bringing MAGIC out to the park and walk around. Perhaps, there is a chance for Happy to meet a fellow dog lover and his love life will change. Perhaps, he will be Lucky, well perhaps not as magical as his dog but lucky enough to meet his dream love!
