There was this guy in my class who stole my attention lately. No, he was not very good looking (like my last year's eyecandy Daniel ;) haha ). In fact, this guy is just .. pretty average in the looks department. And it is not like I adore this guy or anything ... but that's just it - He got my attention. Every time.

I think I started acknowledging his presence sometime this year. He stood out differently from the rest of the class (around 240 students or so). No, he did not look weird or anything, he did not adorn outlandish outfit to school. And he did not jump around or do acrobats in front of people, not an attention seeker .. Actually, thats just it. He did not do anything and yet he captured my attention. Just for being himself. Not pretty, but just being his 'normal' self. Mr. Average.

Turned out he was in most of my classes. In my study group - would be working together for this year's group project (s). In my study sessions. erm... Have to admit, the first time I saw him sitting in front of me, I asked myself why is He here? He has this air of ... coolness around him. (Or maybe that was just me.. hehe =p) But the way he carry himself .. it is just .. different. No, he is not arrogant. I cant really describe it.. But to me, he seems to be the guy who doesn't really care about anything .. nothing worries him, nothing on his mind at all. Not to say he is dumb, but he is just ... there. So laid back, and yet, can still appear smart. Sharp thinking.

And the familiar way he sat in front of the table - just slouching, arms crossed over his chest with a serious look on his face (sometimes with momentary look of boredness when the discussions seem long winded). He rarely smile. Like .. never. And if he did, his mouth curled up at the sides making his smile seemed more like a smirk. Yeah.. maybe he was smirking. And his eyes. The piercing blue green eyes - staring at people as if demanding unspeakable answers. Judging and seizing up people in his mind, his own world. Yet, his face remain neutral. No, he is not menacing or arrogant. To me, he is just ... different (in a good way). He is really cool. Mr. Cool Guy.

And I learn a lot of observational skills lesson from him. heh heh. =p As if on auto-pilot, I could immediately detect his 'air of coolness' when he is nearby. And like a radar, he became my 'subject'. huhu. And today, embarrassingly, I think I did a too good work of observing this amazing creature. =) Then, I realize his mouth was moving. I smiled a little to myself, amazed at how one could manage to talk without opening one's mouth too much. Just too cool. And the mouth moved again, uttering some words that barely register on my mind. His piercing blue green eyes staring. A note of confusion.... and that was when I realize he was talking to me. wah!! His lips turned into .. a smile. No, I think it was more like a smirk. And I realize I was making quite a fool of myself. I did not really catch what he was saying, but all I know, somehow the presentation notes on his hands shifted to my hands. I dont think I properly thanked him though, since I was too overwhelmed with embarrassment. hah hah! I should be grateful, cause he just saved me from making and printing my own notes (like what my other group mates would have to do..) hehe. I dont know why he was giving me the only copy of the notes - but just like what I have been saying, he is so cool he does not care about anything. Not even (too him) insignificant notes. huhu.

Heh. He is sooooooo cool, and I am a fool. teehee .. a great day! And he is nice. ^^
