…this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.
So I went for dinner with Barry Lai at Newton food centre, and the food was marvellous – not to mention the wave of nostalgia that washed over me as I walked along the same paths I used to walk when I was in ACJS 6 years ago. Anyway, Yiwei was supposed to join us but in the end we found out he was tied up, so Barry and I split at about 9:30pm. I took an MRT back home to Orchard station, and that’s where the highlight of my night occurred.
I was walking out of the station having returned my deposit (I still haven’t gotten a replacement for my lost EZ link card), when I noticed a guy, who looked oddly like Bryan Goh, but with a mustache, staring in my direction, with his gaze following me. Having never seen him before, I did what any normal person would do, and assumed that he was staring at somebody walking behind me, thus ignoring him. This was until I felt a tap on my shoulder a few seconds after I passed him. The ensuing conversation was one that simultaneously flattered and freaked me the hell out.
Guy: Hi…you know how to get to Shaw Centre?
Me: Oh sure yeah, it’s just over there in this direction…I’m actually going there now
Guy: Oh…wanna make friends?
Me: I’m sorry what?
Guy: Well….you very cute one.
Me: What?! Well um…I’m actually making my way Shaw Centre now…
Guy: Oh…yeah I’m also going home now…Wanna keep in touch?
Me: Erm…I’d rather not..thanks

Man…manly man.
Just once I wish it was the girl who looked like Angelina Jolie who did this to me. Instead I get….
