Short Talk:
Music of the Moment: An acoustic piece titled "The Drifters" by Kuching's very own Owen Nicholas.
This Routine Truly Isn't Exactly Normal
Things like this don't happen everyday.
I went out on a routine Saturday night, chilling out at Mojo with some friends over wine and local music. Friend of mine brought along a pretty hot chick, someone I've never met before (or so I thought). Tasteful clothes, great waist-length hair, clearly a fashionista.
My friend left for a while, so he asked me to entertain his female companion in his abscence. I helped him out, but I got frustrated after 5 minutes because I felt she was being too stand-offish and mysterious.
Kenny: "So where were you at before you decided to come home to Kuching?"
Girl: "I was... somewhere."
Kenny: "Where?"
Girl: "Somewhere lah!"
Speaking of which, one of my pet peeves when striking up a conversation with someone new is when the other person deliberately avoids answering even the most rudimentary questions about themselves. It makes me feel like a terrorist.
Doesn't matter. I bid farewell to my friends when the night drew to a close and gave no further thoughts to the events going on that night.
That is, until my friend sent me an SMS the next day asking me to call him back urgently.
It's so urgent he even wrote "back" wrongly. I wondered why he wanted me to call him black when he's clearly Chinese.
I rushed out to meet him, thinking someone's probably critically injured or something bad happened. Then I found him sitting idly by at the coffeeshop having his lunch. I asked him what's so urgent, and he told me to wait.
A few minutes later, someone joined us at the table - it's the hot chick from last night. She had called up my friend early in the morning, telling him there's something important that she wanted to tell me personally.
"Do you still remember me?" she asked me in Mandarin. Strange, because last night I was speaking to her in English.
I looked at her once. I looked at her twice. "Last night was the first time I met you," I said.
Cold sweat started forming on my forehead. A million wild thoughts going through my head.
Who is this girl? Why does she sound like she knows me? Have I met her before? Did I owe her money? *gasp* Did I once make her pregnant?
She gave me a resigned smile and told me her Chinese name. It rang a bell in my head. A school bell.
"We were classmates from Primary School, remember?"
Really? But she looks so... different now. I didn't have much memory of her because we weren't close in school and I left shortly after completing Primary 5. I didn't even ask her to leave a message in my cute Little Bob Dog autograph book! Come to think of it, I don't even keep in touch with much of my primary or secondary school mates now. Most of them probably don't even know about the existence of this blog.
Then she added, "you once gave me a farewell card. After that, you just left and I never saw you again. I suddenly remembered who you are from last night because your voice sounded very familiar."
This is awkward. Here's a hot-ass fine-looking lass chatting with me happily about things from 13 YEARS AGO, and there I was staring at her blankly without the faintest recollection about her. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!
Sien. I'm just gonna end this blog entry abruptly. I'm still reeling from the shock ok? Can't be bothered ending it with a funny one-liner.
I think I shall go bang my head against the wall right now. Bye!

Kenny, you don't remember a thing? I think no point banging your head against the wall lah... Why don't you just look deep into her eyes and kiss her? I'm sure that will revive some old memories of your first crush :P:P

it's a pity that you don't keep in touch with your primary and secondary school friends, which i don't as well, oh well, it's hard to avoid isn't it
you made a mistake, "Do I still remember me?" lol of course she remembers herself right

Posted by: gugujiao at 11 September 2006 11:04 AM | Link to comment
For a moment there, I thought the one-liner might turn up like:
"She formally introduce herself as a he as my former schoolmate. No wonder I can't remember her or him."
Posted by: adven7 at 11 September 2006 11:31 AM | Link to comment
lol.

Who the hell remembers classmates from that long ago? The interesting question is not about the past but why the hell she would create such a fuzz out of this small thing, calling her friend in the morning. She is totally ready for you dude, make your move...

When you spoke to her that night, she didn't know how to communicate in English. and, she must have asked your friends who this prick is..yes, you! So, when she knew you are a famous blogger and she must have read your blog that night (provided she can read in Engrrish...), she likes you more lah....so what the fuck are you waiting for? you want the fish to jump into your basket? Go fishing!

That "call me black URGENT" line is a definite classic. I think it was ver rude for your companion of yours to answer your questions in such a manner.
She seems very "ah lian" to me. Tom-boyish even

haha... pity you for not remembering who she was... but it's cool that she made the move to remind you who she was and probably she has something in mind. revive the old days when you two use to be classmates or something more than that.
in a way, maybe this is your chance to get to know her more since you didn't 13 years ago...
