Blind date

Dear dairy,

I remembered my first date. EONs ago.

Not only was it my first official date in my mid 20s but it was also a blind date.
Meaning that I had never met the guy. Meaning that I only saw his picture which was passport size given to me...........Well, lets say by a well meant anonimous source. Meaning that it might turn out well or it might be a disaster. ( positivity was not my virtue)

Dates and I never turned out well........And these are non blind dates, the people that I bumped into either on a commuter train or on the bus.

If you're one of them and  reading this ,

I'm........ So .........Sorry.



There was one time, I got of work late and met this guy on commuter, nice chap and he actually asked me out the next day. (It was Saturday aaaaannnnd I had go to go to work) he was willing to wait.

I TOTALLY FORGOT HOW HE LOOKED LIKE! Our meeting point was Sogo ,a popular shopping complex in  the middle of KL. I was late  and Sogo was packed with the weekend shopping madness plus there was a sale.

I was suppose to meet him at thd lower ground floor.

Every where there were people.

I was walking around trying to remeber how he looked like and like in the movies the crowd parted and lo and behold I saw a young man standing near the wall. I walked up to him and hd smiled.

My heart warmed up, he was tall.

 I asked him , are you --------?

He shook his head and then he smiled warmly ,  he really had a  nice smile.

I smiled until I noticed that he was not smiling at me.

He was tall, and his gaze wasn't falling on my face , it went way over my head.


I slowly turned around , there behind me was a pretty young girl , well ,less pretty because she was staring daggers at me.


AND BEHIND HER.......

Was the guy in the commutter , how did I know that ? His glare was as heaty as Superman's heat vision! Ouch!


Needless to say that was the last time I saw him.

Now back to my story.... blind date....


Again, the place was Sogo. Just that this time it was weekday so lesser people. He told me where to meet.


This time I was ready.

I came early. I even memorised how he looked like from his passport size photo.

The plan was to meet him at 6.00 pm.

There he was leaning against a wall.

Looks ......Check ....... Samd as the photo.How did I know this, well I literally took out his photo.  Double, tripple, quadraple check.

I waited for a while at a handbag stall to make sure he was not with anyone.

You know I  didn't  want to be bludgeoned by an  umbrella or french bread  by his partner if he was waiting for someone aside from me.

Five minutes pass.

 Well nobody was going to meet him might as well I go.

And ,thats when  I did a 180 degrees turn and dive at any counter that was nearest to me.


I was nervous, granted I had went with the expectation that something disasterous would happen,

He won't turn up or he looked like a mass murderer  or he came with his girlfriend...Any scenarios that came into my head but no, everything was smooth sailing.

While crouching behind the counter I called my friend,

" So, how was it?" a voice piped out.

" His here...."
" Yes, yes and your there also. How is he? "
" I haven't meet him yet."

"WHAT?"

"Alo Miss you want to try our perfume?" Said the man behind the counter. He was holding a Polo bottle.
" I'm a woman." I was trying get away , while my friend was screeching on the line.
Plus, I did think at that time Polo was a men item.
"Aaah, we have perfume for women, very nice would you like to try?" I said yes , it was after work and I was sweating.

My friend was still on the line "What's wrong ? Does he look like a mass murderer, a child killer, Freddy Krueger?"

I thank the man behind the counter and tried behind another countrr not far from my blind date, who was looking around.

"No, he looks pleasant looking and tall."

"Alo Miss you want to try our perfume?" There was a sweet looking girl at the counter.LV ......LV had perfume? I thought it was just handbag. I nodded my head and gave my right hand ( my left was Polo).Thanked the girl and jumped go another counter which was another counter!!!!

" Then go and see him!"
Ten minutes and 5 sprays laters....I got the courage to see him.

I had so much perfume on me I was feeling dizzy.


My blind date saw me and smiled

There was no sign of irritation that I was late.

" Hi , how are you? "

We went to a restaurant and talked . He was nice and friendly. A few times he menioned that I smelled nice. God, I really hope the smells was not too overwhelming, I had floral, strawberry,cherry, lavendar , mystique mystery ( no idea what that was) on my left and right hand.

The day ended great... He actually walked me to the commuter station .I was on cloud nine until I remebered....

Yikes! I forgot my jacket and had to walk back to the restaurant to get my jacket.

Night for now
