(14 June 2004 – Monday – Tavia’s place – night)
SAMMUL: (sighs) It’s so boring! Why don’t you play some music?
TAVIA: (munching her tidbits) You’re so troublesome, no wonder Myolie don’t want you!
SAMMUL: (gulping down his beer) Then what about you? Your Ray don’t want you either!
TAVIA: (joining him in drinking) Actually, what’s wrong with us?
SAMMUL: Nothing wrong! They’re the one with problems! Ray can’t forget Michelle!
TAVIA: It’s your Myolie who is stealing him from me!
SAMMUL: Hey! It had nothing to do with Myo!
TAVIA: Then why did she refuse you?
SAMMUL: Well, she didn’t really refused me… she just said she needs to consider…
TAVIA: Isn’t that plain enough, silly Biu Gor? Must she spell it out loud?
SAMMUL: (disappointedly) I think so… but I still clings on that hope…
TAVIA: How silly are you!
SAMMUL: Do you think Myo likes Ray?
TAVIA: Judging from the way she behaves towards him, yes!
SAMMUL: Then what about Ray? I don’t think Ray likes Myo! He still likes Michelle!
TAVIA: What makes you so sure that he doesn’t like Myo? (mumbles) He just don’t like me! He said it is impossible between us! Arghh… now I have to avoid him like plague! What am I to do now, Sam?
SAMMUL: You ask me? Then who am I going to ask?
TAVIA: (raising up her can of beer) Cheers! To being lovelorn!
SAMMUL: Yeah, cheers!
TAVIA: But at least we are not like them, agree? That makes us better than them!
SAMMUL: Yeah, we dare to face our heart, and face the facts! But those two cowards, they are escaping reality! Ah, no! only your Ray is!
TAVIA: Biased! Myo is also hiding the fact that she likes Ray!
SAMMUL: (mumbles) Maybe…
TAVIA: That’s a yes, not a maybe!
SAMMUL: Stop adding your comments into my head!
TAVIA: Irritating fellow, let’s drown our sorrow together, cheers again!
SAMMUL: Yeah, now we are left with each other, pathetic us!
TAVIA: No fear! Tomorrow will be a better day!
SAMMUL: Hope so!

(15 June 2004 – Tuesday – campus – noon)
GALLEN: (shaking his head) Poor you, you still have to work on a nice day!
FLORA: Yeah yeah, if not because of you, I wouldn’t even have to come back here!
GALLEN: Blaming me? You could have told me earlier! We could go elsewhere!
FLORA: You really thinks I’m available 24-7?
GALLEN: But your Roger is busy, where else can you go? And you didn’t come back because of me, it was because of your silly report!
FLORA: (sighs) I can’t outtalk you!
GALLEN: Yay! For once, I won!
FLORA: (chuckles) These are the information of the kind of drugs you want. (passes him)
GALLEN: (flipping through) Thanks!
FLORA: You are so professional man! Even going into such minute details!
GALLEN: Of course! Time for lunch! Where do you want to go?
FLORA: I’m meeting Ada!
GALLEN: Great! We found a sucker today!
FLORA: You wish! YOU are treating us! Erh… we are planning to have Japanese food today…
GALLEN: Awww… that goes my hard-earned money!
FLORA: (grins) Let’s go!

(same day – Tuesday – 2.30 p.m. – KK pharmaceutical company – Roger’s office)
ADA: (knocking and entered) Look at you! You are so busy over here and neglecting your future wife! It wouldn’t be a miracle if she leaves you for someone else!
ROGER: (flipping his documents) Stop scaring me, Ada! Erh, could you please pass me that file over there? The black one!
ADA: (passing him) I’m not kidding you, I’ve been noticing Flora these days! She is almost spending her everyday with Gallen! Lunches, dinners, shopping, and even going to lover’s spots, holding hands…
ROGER: (stopped his work) Really?
ADA: Aha! Now you’re worried!
ROGER: Hey, are you kidding me?
ADA: Ok, fine! I exaggerated! They didn’t go to lover’s spots and hold hands! (chuckles) Look how uptight you are! You better pat some attention on her! Something I have to tell you, my Gallen is certainly charming enough to take her breath away!
ROGER: (pouts) Now you’re saying I’m not as good as him!
ADA: As a matter of fact…
ROGER: Hey! (she covers her mouth) But I really can’t get away with all these work!
ADA: Excuses! You men are all the same! You think that since you both are engaged, she won’t run away!
ROGER: Shouldn’t I have trust in her?
ADA: Perhaps I’m being overly sensitive, they just appear like pals towards each other. But it’s my intuition to speak of! Nothing trivial!
ROGER: Yeah yeah, Miss Choi! (teasing) But how come I have never seen you dating before? Don’t tell me you are still waiting for that Gallen Yip?
ADA: Silly! I know perfectly well how to differentiate between idolism and love!
ROGER: (narrows his eyes) Sounds professional!
ADA: (head high in sky) Of course!

(same day – Tuesday– night – Queen’s pier)
ADA: Hey, so how was it? Did you find out anything?
JOE: Erm… not yet!
ADA: How come? It’d been a week. Why not you tell me her itinerary?
JOE: Everyday it’s either in the office or back home, nothing special!
ADA: Did you see them behaving intimately or not? Or do they go out alone?
JOE: (shakes his head) Nope, they don’t even go out to lunch! Instead they have packed ones!
ADA: Gosh! Are they really busy to that extent? Poor Roger!
JOE: Why are you so concerned about him?
ADA: (chuckles) Why do you sounds jealous?
JOE: Because I AM jealous!
ADA: (shocked) Huh?
JOE: (frankly) I like you, Ada! I told you!
ADA: (forcing a chuckle) Don’t joke, Joe!
JOE: I know you don’t like me, but could you give me a chance?
ADA: I only treat you like a brother, just like Flora!
JOE: But I am not your brother, Ada! I…
ADA: Sorry, we can’t! We can only be friends!
JOE: You can take your time to think it over, I can wait!
ADA: I guess that doesn’t make any difference! I’m sorry!
JOE: (after a few seconds) It’s ok. I should have known it was just a wishful thinking on my part!
ADA: Sorry…
JOE: Don’t worry, no hard feelings. I will continue to shadow Jess, ok?
ADA: Hmmm… thanks!
JOE: (forces a smile) You’re welcome. You just said we are friends, aren’t we?
