when Countdown = Mahjong

I was hoping Alfred could join me to Cherie's place.
At least for our lunch gathering, where everyone was there.
Yes, Ling's new bf and Cherie's Nikolas.
There was 2 single guys, Alex & Si Wei (our buddies).
Knowingly that Im attached but came to her place single,
they were puzzled and started to question like aunties.

"Where's Alfred? I thought he will accompany you."

Have you heard of rubbing salt on the wound?
It's already heartbreaking and I know it's somehow
a GOOD CHOICE he didn't come.
He mingles well but I doubt he likes my circle of friends.

I was all high and excited and then quieten down.
Anyone could possibly sense some wrong in me.
I drown myself in a world of MAHJONG!

Nikolas and Siwei taught Ling & me mahjong.
We were addicted and played for hours.
I didnt know it can be so fun and time just passed us by.
By checking out my hp, I hope Alfred will msg me.
He did afterall, what I really miss was his presence.

Countdown = Mahjong. I continue playing to win. We called
pizza delivery and can't stop mahjonging. LOL*
Cherie's family is MAHJONG PRO. gosh. even her bro-in-law.
I was impressed at their skills and speed. SHARP!

It's near 11pm, the gang decided to go for a movie.
A lonely me wanted to go home, which I did in the end.
On my way in the train, Alfred called me. I was thrilled.
We didnt' countdown on the phone. Sounds alil silly
but able to hear his voice was enough
to cover my loneliness home tonight.

p.s. ALFRED, hope you love me with your heart!
