Alo, in the mood for drawing as you can see above.
But today's story has nothing to do with painting .
It's about dating ,YUPPO my rule of dating ( kindly make known that this is NOT a guide to dating - should you be hit by another guys girlfriend or unexpectedly had to buy a large stock of perfume - I am not responsible to be WARN)
Everyone has dated at least once in their life either they realise it or not. You might have thought that your hanging out with a guy buddy until at the end of the day the guy said that he had a nice time and we should go on another date - THATS when you understand why he was dressed so nicely and he insisted on paying for the food or you totally forgot that it was a date and went to meet him in your simplest clothing (aka flip flops, worn down t-shirt and equally worn down jeans)
I went on my first ever date in my early twenties.
I met this guy on the commuter train heading back home to Seremban from Kuala Lumpur. I was tired and he was sitting beside me. He introduced himself and said that he was working in Kuala Lumpur. He was from East Malaysia. Since he was a friendly chap I decided to entertain him. We talked quite a bit - well actually he talked a lot about his family, his dad, his brother, his life at home town and I was listening interestedly . Everything went down hill when he entered into the topic of marriage ( eeerrrrr we just met, hello. ) He's searching for a wife , how he wants his wife to follow him to hometown, how he wants his wife to be the obedient type, how he wants this and that....By that time I had already spaced out. I came back to earth when he asked whether we could meet again on Saturday at Sogo. (A shopping complex in KL) . I hesitated but from what I can remember he asked for my number (I gave him my office number) and he got off at an earlier stop.
Saturday came, I was working at the office. The guy had given me a call early that morning and we were supposed to meet 1 o'clock in the afternoon. 1 o'clock, I was still in the office. I know I was a bad person I should have given him a chance I didn't know why I was freaked out in meeting him . He called a few time to ask where I was and I told him that I had a lot of work at the office. After the third call and it was approaching 2 pm , I didn't have the heart to lie anymore and said I will go and meet him.
Now Sogo on Saturdays especially in the afternoon will be crowded with people . I was looking around when I realised that I forgot how he looked like. There were a lot of men there, there are some with family, some with their girlfriends and some were with their friends. I couldn't see anyone that was seperated from any of the mentioned group. All of them looked at me when I looked at them. How did he look like ? All I could remember was that he was on the tan side which was ridiculous because all Malaysians are on the tan side! He wasn't that tall and not that short but definetely taller than me
Which all guys there were taller than me!
(Now you know why I'm equally as bad with direction! Oh it's not that far, it's father from your house , but it's nearer to mine, it's basically the same distance from where we are now).
We were suppose to meet at the groud floor food court.
I went to the ground floor and I spied one guy standing near Delifrance looking as if he was waiting for someone. I was feeling mixed should I approach or shouldn't I approach? What the heck, might as well I approached him.
I walked to him and smiled. He smiled back which was a good sign.
"Hi , are you..................." He looked at me with a confused expression.
"No I'm not, " he said then he smiled. Not bad looking than I realised that his eyes were looking past me. I turned and I saw a pretty girl frowning slightly at me and quickly walked to his side. AND behind her was another guy glaring at me .
Ouch, that would definetely be him. I apologised profusely to him and he said that he had plans with his friends and without smiling bid me goodbye. Double ouch! Well I did deserve that I wasn't kind to him by making him wait.
My rule is always remember a guy's face and give him a break and a chance. Karma was a bitch and didn't stop there.
The second date story went much better than the first. I knew this guys to a friend of a friend who gave my picture to him. He gave me a call and we talked on the phone. We promised to meet at Sogo (it's nearer to my office) after to work for tea. I finished work at 6pm.
This time he was specific to where we should meet. I reached there about almost six, I already spotted him when I arrived but he didn't see me. Nervous, I dived behind a Polo perfume station, panicking. He wasn't bad looking. What if he didn't like what he saw? I quickly called my friend for support , I dived to Ralph Lauren station to make the call. The sales girl ask whether I wanted to try a sample and I just gave her my hand while busy trying to get my friend on the line. I saw him pacing around... I dived at another station and without being asked gave the salesgirl my hand.
"Go for it girl, " said my friend. It took me another 5 minutes of walk- a- bout before I got the courage to approached him. I did realized that I had variety of smell and it was quiet strong.
Gosh I had a headache ... hopefully he won't faint from the smell. I slowly went to him and when I saw his smile , everything felt that it would be ok. And it did, we had a wonderful tea and he walked me to the train station.
We became friends and there was a few times that we go out together alas we didn't end up together but until today we became good friends.
I realized that one of the rules in in general for dating is that a lady should act as a lady and not be as chivalry as the men.
In one of our dinner dates , I thought that since he was so kind to walk me back to the office, I decided to walk him to his monorail station and mind you it was dark at night. He wasn't happy with this but I was a stubborn person and he didn't want to ruin the night, he finally agreed. Of course he repeatedly asked whether I would be ok ? Was I really sure? It was getting dark? When I realised it was dark and there wasn't many streetlights on the way to the station , I nearly changed my mind. I had my ego also and I didn't want to tell him that I was getting worried. Steeling myself I stayed to my decision. Even when we reached the ticket booth , he turned to me and said " Maybe I should accompany you half way." I shook my head and waited until he went up the stairs to the monorail, wave him off.
I turned back and hugged my bag. Gosh it was dark. All kinds of images keep appearing in my head on the way back to my office.
I ran like a tornado when I saw my office light , just because I a noise at a dark alley.
My friends weren't happy to hear what I did and boy did I receive an earful from them. Lesson learn so no being chivalry when your with a guy.
I have loads more of story but I'll just stop there. Bye
