The last day of CNY.....

..... is a public holiday !! The holidays turned out very nice this year. It is Thaipusam today and it was suppose to be a holiday for Selangor ONLY but our nice and friendly PM wanted to pull some votes in the general election last year so he made it a holiday for KL too! (that's what all Malaysians say so dun't ISA me for writing this!) Holiday or not, the crowd is back. The last 2 days was crazy. There were cars everywhere. I wonder what those ppl were up to? Last nite, when I went out to watch the WHU v MU match at ss15, all the coffee shops/restaurants were crowded. Even fake OldTown kopitiam were full! Luckily for the Kusar pub, I guess people doesn't really know of its existence, only a few people were there, we enjoyed the place to ourselves and comfortably watched the match without those fake fans.


Speaking of fake fans, I must tell you about this "friend" that I met online.


But wait. let's re-cap what happened the past 14 days of CNY....


I had my usual relatives visiting and suprisingly they didn't ask about my "relationship" this year. Not one single word about when I am going to get married, which is funny because they have been bugging me every year for the past 7 years (maybe more). I guess it's because their daughters do not have a bf (all broken up last year) and one of them do have a bf but he is not the rich and handsome type. They were criticising his looks and trying to guess how much he earns. Very bad lah. I won't dare to bring anyone back for them to see. It seems they have very high expectations and so choosy ! Anyway, they think that I either have a bf or i have a few bfs or i am having an affair with a married man. JUST BECAUSE i didnt bring back a guy for them to see. I am lazy to explain. Let them think whatever makes them happy.



My luck in gambling this year is so-so. In the end I didnt win or lose. Gambled at friend's place and office. Totally no mood to work for the past 15 days! Anyway my customers were not free either. Everyone's still enjoying the holidays plus with the economic situation, no one wants to buy and projects are all delayed. Sigh. I will have to buck up starting from tommorow. No more lazying around the office and I must bug customers to buy at least one server from me. It's time to be the nuisance sales person. HA HA.

So yeah, the past 15 days, I spent it eating, gambling, sleeping and basically just enjoying family & friend's company. But I also have a bad day when the fake fan stood me up for a movie date.

Let me tell you about this fake arsenal fan.

I met him online and we started to chat on MSN. At first he seems okay, guess we were still in the introductory stage so the usual getting to know each other chats were longer. After 2 days, whenever he messaged me, it was like a single word thingy. Like:

Busy?

Free?

Eaten?

and so on...etc etc...

Sometimes I dunt bother to reply but sometimes I feel slightly guilty and will reply. I mean, it's not good to ignore people. I guess I am just like that.

OH! WAIT! BEFORE THAT!!
Why I call him a fake fan?? You see, his first email to me was:

"Hi, I see you're an MU fan. I support Arsenal"

When I asked him what was the score in Arsenal's last match, he said he do not know as he dunt follow them weekly. That is a definate fake fan signal. I am not saying that you have to watch the match weekly but isn't there other sources to know your team's results, like the internet or the sports section of the daily newspaper if you're a fan ?

He seems pretentious and even talk bad about his ex gf. That is another thing that I can't stand about guys. He also likes to ask people out on a last minute basis as though all the girls are so free with nothing to do and no friends and are just waiting for him to invite us out. First of all, he sms me at 9am asking if i want to have breakfast. Of course no rite??! He then replied:

dinner? supper?

I have been rejecting every single invite.

Until the 6th day of CNY.

I was online, playing some games when he msn-ed me. He asked me out for a movie 2 days later. I dun't know why but I accepted his invitation. When the day comes, he got the nerve to sms me about 1 hour before the movie and told me that he would not be able to make it as he is not feeling well. WTF ??! Thank God I decided to ask him to come to Sunway for the movie. Initially he wanted to meet at 1U. If it was at 1U, i would have already been on the way!!!

I was so angry. You do not know how angry I was. Never never never has anyone stood me up like that. Even if people can't make it, they will inform me very much earlier.

After that episode, I no longer wanted him to be my friend. I do not care if he was really not feeling well, it doesn't seem sincere.

Today I received an sms from him:

Stay at home? or busy?

I know. What kind of sms is that? People already block you on msn, get the hint lah. I replied him hours later with one word - busy.

And guess what he reply back.

Busy with quotation? Thought wanna ask you out to Dong Chen Shi temple. (The actual sms was typed with very broken english, for the sake of my readers, I have ammended it to be in readable english - lol)

This guy has very thick skin. It's not to say he is bloody handsome. Usually if people are average looking, they make it up with their good personality. I'm sorry to say this fellow's personality is dreadful. I'm also sorry that I can't be friends with him because my level of tolerence is only until the stood-up date. Besides, I will only be laughing at his antics with my friends. I know it's bad but when you come across weirdos like this....

Heck, people may be laughing at me behind my back about how weird I am too. That's life. We laugh about each other.

I would like to end with a note to the guys.

Please, if you really want to ask a girl out, make sure you do your homework and find out as many things as you can about the girl. Looking at the example above, he asked me to go to a temple. I am a Christian lah! I mentioned that in my facebook profile. It shows the level of "care" and "interest" the guy has on you.

Also, please please please for the love of GOD, do not ask girls out on a last minute basis for a first date!

Lastly, do not send one word messages to people you barely know. It is rude. It's better you don't type at all or don't message at all. People like to use lazy english during chats (so do i) but at least have the courtesy to contruct more than one word.
