Who and Why
I’m so sorry for not updating this fanfic...and leaving it ‘hanging’ when I haven’t even revealed enough information about it...I hope everyone sticks around for this fanfic because it’s quite a story...well at least it is in my head lol
Recap:
So, in the previous chapter Ron had started working at Eclipse Enterprise as the manager for the marketing department. He then took a walk around the area to make observations with the intention of finding out more about his target. When he got to the flower shop, there was only Macy there and the two began having a nice little conversation, only to find out that his target his a ‘mysterious boyfriend’ who calls a few times a week. Just when Ron wanted to ask more about this ‘mystery’ man, Tavia (his target) comes back and the two of them exchange a few words before Ron leaves her standing there speechless...
Ron came home from his first day of work, ready to just lounge on the couch watching a TVB series or something with his ‘dad’ and hearing him complain about how horrible the quality the series has become. But to his surprise when he got home he found his ‘dad’ on the computer
Wong Ching: Why? Why are they doing this? This is ridiculous!
Michelle: What’s ridiculous?
Wong Ching: Take a look for yourself
Michelle: The poor boy is being paired up with another ‘new’ actress again...why are they doing this to him? And he’s not even a main lead in this new series...that is ridiculous
Wong Ching: Cheuk-hei deserves better...I thought he’d be actually paired up with Yeung Yi...look how compatible they are in that interview
Michelle: I really liked them in The Academy, but I think this time Cheuk-hei should be paired up with Ka-Yan, look at their outfits, they actually match...and it’s not the first time either
Wong Ching: They would make quite a good looking couple...but still Cheuk-hei and Yeung Yi...
Michelle: I don’t know...the more I look at the pictures the more I prefer him to be with Ka-Yan
Ron cleared his throat: Mom, dad, I’m home
Wong Ching: Yes, someone to break the tie...who do you think looks better with Cheuk-hei? Yeung Yi or Ka-Yan?
Ron: Well...Yeung Yi and him did collaborate before and...
Wong Ching: You have a good eye my boy
Michelle: So you think that Cheuk-hei looks better with Yeung Yi then?
Ron: I didn’t say that...I was just...
Wong Ching: So you prefer Ka-Yan over Yeung Yi?
Ron: you know what, I think I should take a shower first...for some reason you’re making it seem like I’m choosing my future wife or something
Wong Ching: hey, let’s pretend that YOU ARE choosing your future wife...now between Yeung Yi and Ka Yan, who would you pick?
Ron laughed: I think you’re taking this a bit too seriously?
Michelle: Just pick one...
Ron noticed that his phone was vibrating in his pocket and looked at the caller id
Ron: You know what, I pick Leila Tong...or at least I’m going to pick up her call before she thinks something’s not going according to plan
He walked into his room to answer her call
~ On the phone~
Ron: Hi, you just saved my life
Leila: Stuck in an argument between your new parents?
Ron: Ya...if this is how old married couples are, I don’t think I’ll ever get married...they were arguing about who looks better with some TVB dude named Cheuk-hei
Leila: Sounds like them, alright.
Ron: So? What’s this call all about?
Leila: Just checking on you, see how you did on your first day of work...
Ron: Shouldn’t you call Linda instead, isn’t it obvious that I would make it sound as though the day went extremely well and that you shouldn’t worry about a thing. But Linda, she would tell you the truth whether or not it did go well...so...
Leila: I already called her...so, I just want to see if your stories match...even though I specifically seeked you out for this mission...
Ron: Doesn’t mean you trust me 100% right?
Leila: Exactly
Ron: Ok...let’s see, it went pretty well...I got some looks of admiration from the female employees, some uncomfortable looks from the male employees...I had an interesting little conversation with Linda, took a walk on the street, met our target and left her standing at her flower shop speechless...that’s about it
Leila: You met our target today? Was she doing anything suspicious? Did you find out anything else about her?
Ron: Well, she’s extremely paranoid around me...she thinks I’m stalking her...which I guess is technically correct. But, what I found that was particularly interesting from her employee at the flower shop is that she has a mysterious boyfriend. Apparently he calls a couple of times a week...maybe you should look into that...you know, check who it is...maybe this ‘mystery man’ is another piece to our unsolved puzzle.
Leila: Alright, I’ll look into that...anyways, rest up...you’ve still got a long way to go with this mission. We’ll keep in touch...and maybe you should make our target less paranoid of you...maybe...take Nancy to the flower shop...you know...
Ron: For show...
Leila: Yup, for show
Ron: Ok...bye
Leila: Bye...wait...Ron
Ron: Ya?
Leila: Don’t get too attached, ok?
Ron: I’ll try my best...I don’t want history to repeat itself again...
Leila: Well, take care. Bye
~ end~
Before he could say another word, she had already hung up. She was always like that, always wanted to have the last word, whether it was during a normal conversation or an argument...that was the Leila Tong that he knew back in the day when they were still in training. No, it was even before that...too long ago.
Lounging back on his chair he thought about the things that he saw at the company today, and what Macy told him about the ‘mystery man’ who was apparently the boyfriend of his target...and in the pit of stomach Ron felt as though this ‘mystery man’ was involved with this case. Who could he be?
The other thing on his mind was the person who told Linda about her new ‘stepmother’ and about her past marriages...His thought then turned into pity...he felt her sorrow when he was having that conversation with her in her office, and he also saw a glimpse of hope from her...as though she was secretly wishing that her ‘stepmother’ wasn’t the type of person that the evidence seems to point to. He had to admit, Linda was a bit too naive and innocent to be involved in something so complex. From having her employees see her as a target to advance in their careers, to members of the board of directors viewing her as an incompetent replacement and to all of this. She deserved better...and so he too started to secretly hope that her ‘stepmother,’ his target...Tavia Yeung was in fact innocent...or innocently got involved in such a complex matter.
=================
I sincerely hope that you guys enjoyed this new update for my fanfic The Stalker. I seriously hope that you found the beginning a bit entertaining and ironic. Hopefully you all realize that the series that Michelle and Wong Ching were discussing was Yes Sir, No Sir. I'm really excited about this fanfic and where I'm planning to go with it, the plot...the characters and all of that. Funny enough the 'villain' of the story hasn't even been introduced yet...and well...I look forward to making his introduction one that will be quite interesting.
Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed the read. Please comment, either here or in the cbox...and once again 5 or more comments before an update.
So...comment, comment and comment!!!

A Truthful Lie: Ch 21
This is probably the update that a lot of people have been waiting for...
So, sit back, relax and have a nice read.
To recap what had happened previously...
Ron had drove Leila and Jacky home, tucked him into bed and left Leila with a goodnight kiss. He then saw Myolie’s text message and drove to pick her up at the hospital.
Myolie got onto his car as he drove her home
Ron looked at her: You can say it...
Myolie: Say what?
Ron: You know exactly what I’m talking about
Myolie laughed: Oh...Told you so
Ron: Little cupid trying to pull some strings...
Myolie: And?
Ron: And what?
Myolie: Did you like your role today, as a father and husband?
Ron: surprisingly...I did...
Myolie: And?
Ron: I think I’d like to have kids in a few years...be a good role model...set a good example...
Myolie: Sounds like you’ve been influenced...
Ron: Maybe I had too much fun...
Myolie: Better than flirting with girls?
Ron: Maybe...
Myolie looked at him: I think you’ll make a pretty good father some day...
Ron: I sure hope so...at least I want my kids to not resent me the way I resent my own father.
Myolie: Hey, don’t say things like that...your father secretly cares for you...
Ron: My father, he probably cares about his other mistresses more...after marrying auntie Louisa the tabloids still caught him at night clubs with a couple of girls in their twenties trying to make it big someday
Myolie laughed: The tabloids caught you with a few young girls too...
Ron: You sound like my brother...so what if I was caught having a couple of random flings...the point is I’m still single and so you can almost say that I’m in the mood for experiencing different things. However, if I were to be married I would whole-heartedly be a loving husband and I’ll even try my best to not even look at some hot girl in her early twenties
Myolie laughed: Really?
Ron: Ya...after seeing how depressed my mom became because of my dad I don’t want to see another woman that I love so dearly have to go through something like that again...
Myolie: Then what happened five years ago?
Ron sighed: I was young and foolish and didn’t understand the true meaning of what a family meant...and how that warmth can really overcome any infatuations and misplaced desires...something I learned today
Ron drove his car into the lot of the condominium and the both of them went up to Myolie’s place.
Ron remembered this place pretty well...he spent a couple of nights here once when Myolie wasn’t in town and he used to spend those nights alone. It was at a point where he had a lot on his mind and nowhere to go, and no one to spill all his feelings to. Her place gave him some comfort, a piece of mind...and now that she were back, everything felt so right.
Myolie: You still have a set of spare keys to my place, right?
Ron nodded: I used to come here once in a while...when you weren’t around, hope you didn’t mind
Myolie: As long as you didn’t do some nasty things in my bedroom with some random girl on the streets, I’m fine with it
Ron smiled: Well then, you’d be happy to find out I just used her place as a little sanctuary for me to think things through
Myolie closing the door behind her: Really?
Ron: Ya...it’s just cause I’m so used to telling things to you that when you weren’t around...I guess in a way I needed something to remind me of you to help me think clearly...
Myolie laughed: Wow, so I mean THAT much to the ever so eligible bachelor, Ron Ng?
Ron chuckled: Surprisingly, you do.
Myolie: To be honest, I’m a bit flattered
Ron: This might sound really silly, but I’ve been doing some thinking while I was driving to the hospital to pick you up...and, well...will you be my back-up wife?
Myolie: Back-up wife?
Ron: You know, if by the time you turn 38 and you haven’t found your Mr. Right, and I’m still single...we get married
Myolie: 38? Don’t people usually go for around 40?
Ron: I thought a bit about that too and well, they say that after a woman turns 38 the chances of them being pregnant to a baby with a likely hood for genetic mutations increases...so...
Myolie laughed: You seem to have really thought these things through...and again, I’m flattered but...is that really necessary?
Ron: I...I’m not sure. I just think that I’ve been with a lot of different women and I’ve been in love with Tavia for a pretty long time too...but in all honesty, I feel most comfortable with you...
Myolie: Ron...
Ron: Maybe it’s getting late and I’m exhausted because I’ve been up the entire day and roaming around Disneyland with a little kid on my shoulders for quite a bit of the day and so I’m saying a lot of things that might not exactly make the most sense. But, what I’m trying to say is...
Myolie: You don’t have to say anything, it’s ok. You have a lot on your mind and a lot to think about...plus you’re tired...how about we just eat and then talk about it in the morning?
Ron nodded in agreement. They went over to the dining table and ate away in silence. Myolie was right, they should talk about it in the morning...
Myolie: I think you have a little too much on your mind, maybe you should stay over tonight. You can take the guest room...I think you left some clothes here the last time you stayed at my place...while I wasn’t home
Ron looked away from his bowl of noodles and looked at her: Ya, I kind of forgot about them...but I think I washed them already or I should have
Myolie: You did, so it doesn’t smell like a dump in my guest room
Ron: That’s a relief...I guess I’ll stay the night then. Are you off tomorrow?
Myolie nodded
~ In the morning~
By the time Myolie woke up it was already 11, she went to wash up a bit before going into the kitchen to make herself some coffee. Passing by the guest room it occurred to her that Ron had stayed the night and was still fast asleep.
The aroma of the roasting coffee beans had woken up the exhausted Ron as he came out of the room and headed to the bathroom to wash up, himself. Heading towards the kitchen now, he noticed Myolie standing there with a cup of coffee in her hand as she slowly breathe in its aroma.
Ron: Good morning
Myolie: Morning, coffee?
Ron: Of course
She poured him a cup and watched as he added in the cream and sugar
Myolie: Aren’t you afraid of diabetes and high cholesterol?
Ron: Not really, a doctor’s standing right next to me...I think I’m in good hands
Myolie smiled: That’s true...you are in good hands
Ron: So, any plans for today? Maybe a date with Mr. Chan?
Myolie: No date with Mr. Chan...but...I think I’m supposed to meet up with my dad for lunch today, you could join us if you want
Ron: I don’t want to interfere with the father-daughter lunch date now, do I?
Myolie: I don’t think he would mind, actually he’d probably be ecstatic and have some ideas of his own why I decided to invite you along
Ron laughed: Of course, the matchmaking...and to think I almost forgot that we supposedly were meant to be...which reminds me of the blabbering I did last night...sorry about that, though the proposal was actually legitimate
Myolie: Well, I can’t just easily accept any proposal you know. After all I’m the only child of the Wu family
Ron chuckled: I’ll keep that in mind, and I’ll propose again another time...properly
======================
How did everyone like the Ronolie update...surprised that it WOULD be a Ronolie update to begin with? Anyways, I've been looking forward to writing more Ronolie stuff...just because I think their friendship hasn't been explored enough in this fanfic and it's totally worth mentioning. A lot of you were probably disappointed that there was no TaRo and RL, but don't worry...there will be lots of that coming soon as well (especially from my newest fanfic lol)
Anyways, from now on I will post all updates on my blog instead of going to winglin and struggle to log in and etc. This means that I'm looking forward to reading all your comments from here...so please leave a comment here or on the cbox...and I do expect at least 5 comments or so before another update.
That's all for now...

I'm BACK!!!!! My Trip: Part 1
WOW!!! It's been a bit over a month since I've actually personally updated (instead of those scheduled updates for the new fanfic). So I'm back from my one month vacation to Vietnam...and I gotta say...I sorta had a blast. Yes, sorta.
I remember someone asking me how I imagined Vietnam to be before I went there and to be honest I had no vision of Vietnam in the back of my mind even if it's the country where my family is from. I had never once thought of how it would be...except for the fact that it's a developing nation that is governed by communists. Reading about something and then personally experiencing and seeing it, is another...and my trip to Vietnam really proved that point.
I went there with the thought that I'll be meeting family that I have never seen before other than in photographs that I barely take a second glance at, and I'll be meeting 'friends' that I've never seen before either. I also thought that I would feel like a foreigner in a land that is supposed to be 'home' and what I thought was absolutely correct. Arriving at the airport in Saigon feeling the intense heat and worrying that our luggage might've been lost...the only other thought on my mind was...'how am I supposed to feel relaxed in such a place?' The first experience I had in Vietnam was seeing the power of money...money can buy time...money makes the world goes round and makes things with the customs people at the airport alot easier
Stepping outside in the actual heat of Saigon I saw a crowd of people who to me were all foreign...and the majority of them were foreign to me...however they like myself were Vietnamese. The realization that I'm in the country of my forefathers had kicked in and there was a sense of amazement running through me...and I felt it...or maybe it was the sweat running down from my forehead.
I thought that arrival gate at the airport was crowded...but when I got on the van and hit the actual road...the amount of people on the streets (not beggers...I mean people in general) made me speechless...and of course I was shocked by the numourous motorcycles as well.
I'll probably write a lot more about my trip...in the meantime check out a few of these pictures.
Can you guess what tree that is?

A Series of Unexpected Events: Chapter 1
An Innocent Affair
Character: Raymond Lam
I’ve been doing this for years, and I’ve helped so many individuals feel better about themselves, being a psychiatrist isn’t that stressful of job. It feels great, but sometimes it keeps me away from what matters most in life, love...my family. I never thought things could become like this...I never thought I’d end up doing things that could potentially hurt my family, my wife...
My wife and I, we’ve been married for a little over eight years now...we could’ve had a child who would be turning seven this year...but...she died inside her mother’s womb...my wife’s womb. I don’t blame my wife for the loss of our child, in fact I know that she was in even greater pain than I was when it happened, but there was nothing neither of us could do. We lost our child before she could see the wonders of this world, yes, I could have had a daughter who would be turning seven.
They say having a child brings the two parents together, but facing the loss of a child doesn’t really help in that way. My wife started to drift apart from me, she felt guilty for having lost our child even though it was obviously not her fault. We had gone shopping for baby clothes and as we took the escalator down, there apparently was a robbery. The robber rushed down the escalator along with the security guards and ended up knocking over my beloved wife, thus, causing the loss of our child. The doctor told us that my wife couldn’t bear another child after that incident and well...now I’m just sitting in my office waiting patiently for my next patient to come in instead of calling home and asking when my wife will go and pick up our little sweetheart.
My next patient, she’s special to me not because she’s beautiful but because she’s so innocent. A tragedy had occurred in her life when she was in her twenties causing her now to have the mental capacity of an eight year old while being trapped in the body of a thirty year old woman. She takes life so light-heartedly and is amazed by absolutely everything. Sometimes it feels as though God has brought her to me to fill the void in my heart that was meant for my own daughter, but it’s not the same.
After the accident my patient lost her memory, lost her ability to function at the mental capacity that she should be functioning at and relied solely on her younger brother because a few years prior to her accident the two of them had already lost their parents. His entire world ended up revolving around her and her world was dependent upon him...until she met me. For some reason I offered all the help I could give her, and I ended up giving her all of my time and now...her world...is me.
Macy walked in holding the file of the following patient, a young woman by the name of Charmaine Sheh. Her case was brought to Dr Lam’s attention after the previous doctor who was working on that case until he immigrated to another country. Being the student of that previous doctor, Dr. Lam felt as though he should take the case and has been looking after this young lady for almost a year now.
Macy placed the file upon Dr. Lam’s desk...
Macy: Dr. Lam, should I call the last patient in, or do you want to go out there and call her in yourself?
Raymond: I’ll do it.
He followed his secretary out of his office and into the waiting area where his patient and her younger brother were sitting.
Charmaine had a huge smile on her innocent face as she saw Dr. Lam coming out of his office to greet her.
Charmaine: Dr. Lam!
Raymond walked over: How are you today? Everything’s going well?
Charmaine nodded in excitement: Are we playing games today?
Raymond shook his head: Not today...but we’ll do something even more fun
Charmaine: Yay! Him, did you hear that? Dr. Lam said that today I get to do something even more fun than playing games
Her younger brother nodded
Raymond: Why won’t you leave your sister here with me...and take Macy to dinner or something
Him’s face turned red
Raymond chuckled: I knew that there was something between the two of you a while ago, so you don’t have to be embarrassed. Have fun...and I’ll drive your sister back once we’re done with today’s session
Him: Are you sure? I could come pick her up...and
Raymond shook his head: It’s fine, don’t worry about it (He turned to look at Macy) Don’t stay out too late though, we have a 7:30 appointment tomorrow
Macy: Don’t worry Dr. Lam, I’ll be on time like usual...and I’ll be able to make you a nice cup of coffee before your first patient comes
Raymond smiled: It was definitely a good idea hiring you, well you two have fun.
Raymond walked Charmaine into his office and closed the doors behind him.
Charmaine: So, what games are we going to play today? Are you going to take me to the park and let me go on the swings... (she put a finger on her chin) maybe you’re going to take me to the amusement park because I’m such a good little girl...and then (she gasps in excitement) you’re going to let me eat cotton candy and buy me ice cream!
Raymond laughed at the overly excited Charmaine who was now literally jumping up and down in pure excitement from her vision of the session she was going to have with him.
Raymond: I’m sorry, but not today...I was actually planning on taking you shopping
Charmaine: Shopping? For toys?
Raymond shook his head: Not for toys...
Charmaine pouted and took a seat
Raymond: I was thinking of getting you a beautiful outfit, a nice new dress...maybe a purse...whatever you like
Charmaine thought for a moment: A new dress sounds good...but I still want a new toy...
Raymond: How about...a new dress...and a big teddy bear?
Unexpectedly Charmaine got up from her seat, ran over to Raymond and gave him a big hug. He wasn’t sure how to react to her spontaneous act...but decided to hug her back...and unexpectedly a smile crept upon his face
Finally Charmaine freed herself from the embrace with a slight blush on her face. Raymond assumed that Charmaine was embarrassed by her action, which was completely normal and didn’t depend upon what mental age group she belonged to. To him she was as true and as pure as any other child...with the only difference being the fact that she was radiant and he felt himself being drawn even closer to her as they spend more time together.
A little while after the two of them headed out the office, Raymond closing the doors behind him and locking the place up, while the energy filled Charmaine was already prancing ahead. Raymond caught up to her and led her to his car, and off they went on yet another interesting outing.
He parked his car along the side of the road and the two of them got out. Immediately Charmaine walked over and grabbed onto his hand, like she would do if she was out with her younger brother. She was told by her younger brother that she should hold someone’s hand when she’s out so that she wouldn’t get lost, and it became a habit.
Raymond looked down at his hands, which intertwined with hers...this wasn’t the first time she held his hand, but everytime she did...he felt a little something. Only seconds later did she let go of his hand and ran towards the glass window of a shop and stared intently at a beautiful night gown. Even though she was ‘young’ she still admired the beautiful dresses that women who were her age physically would wear.
Raymond: Do you want to take a look?
Charmaine: My brother says we can’t afford dresses like that...
Raymond: I can, and...I’ll be paying...so, let’s go in
It seemed as though her eyes sparkled as they filled with excitement when Raymond told her that they could go in and take a look...
Raymond walked over to one of the female staff and asked her if she could possibly get Charmaine the dress that was on display in the window. Moments later she came back with the dress in what she assumed to be Charmaine’s size and handed Raymond the dress.
Raymond: Try this on...
Charmaine: Are you sure? (she looked at the price tag) But this costs so much...and my brother says...
Raymond: It doesn’t cost to try something on now, does it?
Charmaine shook her head and followed Raymond’s order to try on the dress. He waited for her patiently while browsing through the other selection of dresses that the store had. When she stepped out of the change room, he couldn’t take his eyes off of her...she was, beautiful
Staff: Sir, your girlfriend looks amazing in the dress...
Raymond: She’s not my...she does look amazing...
Staff: You two look really good together
Raymond smiled and walked towards Charmaine
Charmaine: I look so silly in this dress, don’t I? I think it’s a bit too much for my age...I’m only eight...and you don’t see other eight year olds dress like this, do you?
Raymond: Well, other eight year olds aren’t as special as you, are they?
Charmaine looked in the mirror and saw her reflection standing next to Raymond’s...
Charmaine: You look like a prince today, wearing all white...
Raymond: And you look like a princess in that dress...
Charmaine smiled brightly: We should get married, when I’m older...then I can be your princess, and you can be my prince charming
She started giggling to herself and walked back into the change room to change into her normal outfit

I hope you thoroughly enjoyed my first chapter...this was yet another scheduled update...remember to comment folks...I'll definitely try to find time to read all your comments and take in everything that you write. Well, comment and I'll be back in a week's time!!!

Raymond chuckled: I knew that there was something between the two of you a while ago, so you don’t have to be embarrassed. Have fun...and I’ll drive your sister back once we’re done with today’s session
Him: Are you sure? I could come pick her up...and
Raymond shook his head: It’s fine, don’t worry about it (He turned to look at Macy) Don’t stay out too late though, we have a 7:30 appointment tomorrow
Macy: Don’t worry Dr. Lam, I’ll be on time like usual...and I’ll be able to make you a nice cup of coffee before your first patient comes
Raymond smiled: It was definitely a good idea hiring you, well you two have fun.
Raymond walked Charmaine into his office and closed the doors behind him.
Charmaine: So, what games are we going to play today? Are you going to take me to the park and let me go on the swings... (she put a finger on her chin) maybe you’re going to take me to the amusement park because I’m such a good little girl...and then (she gasps in excitement) you’re going to let me eat cotton candy and buy me ice cream!
Raymond laughed at the overly excited Charmaine who was now literally jumping up and down in pure excitement from her vision of the session she was going to have with him.
Raymond: I’m sorry, but not today...I was actually planning on taking you shopping
Charmaine: Shopping? For toys?
Raymond shook his head: Not for toys...
Charmaine pouted and took a seat
Raymond: I was thinking of getting you a beautiful outfit, a nice new dress...maybe a purse...whatever you like
Charmaine thought for a moment: A new dress sounds good...but I still want a new toy...
Raymond: How about...a new dress...and a big teddy bear?
Unexpectedly Charmaine got up from her seat, ran over to Raymond and gave him a big hug. He wasn’t sure how to react to her spontaneous act...but decided to hug her back...and unexpectedly a smile crept upon his face
Finally Charmaine freed herself from the embrace with a slight blush on her face. Raymond assumed that Charmaine was embarrassed by her action, which was completely normal and didn’t depend upon what mental age group she belonged to. To him she was as true and as pure as any other child...with the only difference being the fact that she was radiant and he felt himself being drawn even closer to her as they spend more time together.
A little while after the two of them headed out the office, Raymond closing the doors behind him and locking the place up, while the energy filled Charmaine was already prancing ahead. Raymond caught up to her and led her to his car, and off they went on yet another interesting outing.
He parked his car along the side of the road and the two of them got out. Immediately Charmaine walked over and grabbed onto his hand, like she would do if she was out with her younger brother. She was told by her younger brother that she should hold someone’s hand when she’s out so that she wouldn’t get lost, and it became a habit.
Raymond looked down at his hands, which intertwined with hers...this wasn’t the first time she held his hand, but everytime she did...he felt a little something. Only seconds later did she let go of his hand and ran towards the glass window of a shop and stared intently at a beautiful night gown. Even though she was ‘young’ she still admired the beautiful dresses that women who were her age physically would wear.
Raymond: Do you want to take a look?
Charmaine: My brother says we can’t afford dresses like that...
Raymond: I can, and...I’ll be paying...so, let’s go in
It seemed as though her eyes sparkled as they filled with excitement when Raymond told her that they could go in and take a look...
Raymond walked over to one of the female staff and asked her if she could possibly get Charmaine the dress that was on display in the window. Moments later she came back with the dress in what she assumed to be Charmaine’s size and handed Raymond the dress.
Raymond: Try this on...
Charmaine: Are you sure? (she looked at the price tag) But this costs so much...and my brother says...
Raymond: It doesn’t cost to try something on now, does it?
Charmaine shook her head and followed Raymond’s order to try on the dress. He waited for her patiently while browsing through the other selection of dresses that the store had. When she stepped out of the change room, he couldn’t take his eyes off of her...she was, beautiful
Staff: Sir, your girlfriend looks amazing in the dress...
Raymond: She’s not my...she does look amazing...
Staff: You two look really good together
Raymond smiled and walked towards Charmaine
Charmaine: I look so silly in this dress, don’t I? I think it’s a bit too much for my age...I’m only eight...and you don’t see other eight year olds dress like this, do you?
Raymond: Well, other eight year olds aren’t as special as you, are they?
Charmaine looked in the mirror and saw her reflection standing next to Raymond’s...
Charmaine: You look like a prince today, wearing all white...
Raymond: And you look like a princess in that dress...
Charmaine smiled brightly: We should get married, when I’m older...then I can be your princess, and you can be my prince charming
She started giggling to herself and walked back into the change room to change into her normal outfit
===================
I hope you thoroughly enjoyed my first chapter...this was yet another scheduled update...remember to comment folks...I'll definitely try to find time to read all your comments and take in everything that you write. Well, comment and I'll be back in a week's time!!!

A Series of Unexpected Events: Foreword
Howdy,
This new fanfic will definitely not take more than a year to complete...that I can guarantee. A short fanfic that will indeed be something to think about is what I’m trying to aim for. Please don’t worry about me not being able to finish my other fanfics for they will also be nearing completion by the end of this summer.
They say in life, it’s always the little things that count. It’s not always about what you give but rather how you give it...and sometimes the way you do certain things convey a totally different meaning, different from the one you originally intended to give with. Yes, it’s the little things that count, and it’s the little things that lead to a world of unexpected consequences – good or bad.
Sometimes a good intention leads to something more than one would expect or rather something unexpected. Each word, each phrase used can be taken in and understood differently than what was said. In fact everything is open to interpretation...and we all know interpretation is a dangerous thing.
This fanfic will follow the lives of our many main characters, understanding them, people around them and how these characters view the world as well as themselves. If you’ve ever watched movies like Valentine’s Day or Crash...you would understand how this fanfic will work. My plan is to have every chapter narrated by a different character (or have a monologue) and in that way you will then be able to see things from their eyes and of course feel a deeper connection to the character.
I do hope that EVERYONE will enjoy this rather ‘interesting’ and ‘different’ fanfic. One important thing to note is that this fanfic will only be posted up on my blog and nowhere else. The video below consists of a series of pictures that will allow everyone to see the cast of this fanfic and the music in the background is written by me specifically for it.
Remember to leave me a few comments either on the cbox or HERE!!!! Actually if you leave a comment here...you'll find out when the next update will be ^_^
Enjoy!

New Fanfic: A Series of Unexpected Events
WHAT??? That's what you're probably saying at the moment just by looking at the title of the post. And then you're probably thinking " You're kidding right? You still have THREE unfinished fanfics and you want to start another one? Don't you think you're in WAY OVER your HEAD?" And my reply to that is...maybe...but by the end of summer Take 2 and A Truthful Lie will both be over...so...I thought I'd start a new one...now?
So...I'm starting this new one because I'll be away from June 21st to July 23rd and I've decided that because during that time I won't be able to update my other fanfics, I'll post this new one as a replacement during those weeks that I'm gone.
As you can tell...this is the exact same thing (or similar thing) as my banner...surprised? Obviously not! I also made an trailer for this fanfic, so please check that out...I'm going to post the foreword of the fanfic up on July 1st...so keep an eye out and it will most definitely be on this blog...so do visit me here!
The following is the trailer...stay tuned for more updates on this very exciting fanfic...which will ONLY be posted here and NOWHERE else!!!!

Mysteries of Love (My thoughts, thus far)
Instead of updating one of my fanfics (A Truthful Lie), I decided to write a blog entry about the current series, Mysteries of Love. I've been reading great reviews about the series and even the TV ratings in Hong Kong are relatively high compared to the other series that are currently airing. Because of such incidents I decided to give the series a try, other than the fact that I have been secretly waiting for Raymond to once again appear in a series.
I have also read comments about how this series had plagarized the Japanese series 'Detective Galileo' and I must say those comments are somewhat false. I have watched a few episodes of Detective Galileo before and it was a good watch, however, I never had the chance to finish because I forgot the site and I became too busy with other stuff to find it again. The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Detective focused more on the cases, which of course captured its intended audience's attention. On the other hand Mysteries focused a lot more on the relationship aspects.
For example, I'm only on episode 9 and Tavia has already fallen head over heals for Raymond, and she had fallen in love with him several episodes prior. On the other hand 'Detective' mostly had Galileo and the female officer as a bickering duo...and their relationship is built on their numerous encounters with one another...which seemed to be lacking for Raymond and Tavia. Personally, I don't think admiration for one's talent adds up to falling in love with that person, hence, I find Mysteries a bit too unrealistic in the love department.
Another thing I must say about Mysteries is the fact that Kenneth does not fit the role of a womanizer. Sure, he has that intolerable smirk on his face and a few unbuttoned buttons on his shirt, but that does not equate to a womanizer. He doesn't really seem to fit the role whatsoever and frankly I'd rather see Bosco take on that role, or even better to have Ron take that role. Hmm...actually Kenneth and Raymond should even switch roles...that would be the actual sight to see.
At the moment, I don't find Mysteries to be spectacular at all, or even close to deserving such rave reviews. I'm pretty sure most people who are watching the series are watching it because of the cast which consists of Raymond Lam. Without a doubt if that role was replaced by another TVB actor who have been appearing quite frequently on TV screens (ie Kevin) the reaction would be completely different.
I also think that the lack of focus on the cases make the cases quite simple, rather than complexed like the ones in Detective. I would rather have more complicated and detailed cases rather than simple cases with a love story shoved everywhere. The physics behind some of the early cases that I'm watching currently seems to be quite simple, and being a non-physics expert...I think such incidents in the series could even be explained through common sense. This leads me to wonder about a few things...
1. Why would you ask a physics professor to explain something so simple?
2. Is it cheap to hire a physics professor?
3. Did the police officers lose their common sense?
4. Why do they call Raymond's character Professor King? I thought his last name would be Chinese. And, I thought they would call him Doctor _____ instead
5. Wouldn't it be interesting if Kenneth and Tavia got together instead? lol
I think that's about it for now...I'll obviously continue to watch it because I still have hopes for the latter episodes...and I'll probably write another blog about it once I get a chance to finish it.
Tell me what your thoughts are of MOL at the moment!
oh, and stick around...in a few days I will be updating my fanfics...as well as something special!
Randomness...OUT!!!
