a little flattered..

who would not be when a stranger especially a man who u have never met before came up to u and said," Nice pants!"?
my reply? "oh, thanx"

i was having a lousy day yesterday. having a dry and itchy throat and feeling extremely tired from the very early wakeys. was also slightly disappointed when my date wif dearie had to be cancelled but was later resumed again when i decided to roam around ikea myself while waiting for him to finish wat he had to do back in sch. we were supposed to go shopping for visor.

after spending around 1 hour at ikea, i went on to queensway. i was shopping around when this guy came up from behind wif that pick-up line. i was shocked. and it was kinda scary. i mean nice pants, which means he was staring at my legs and maybe my butt? because i had tuition classes from 9-3pm, i was actually in formal wear. pants and a decent looking top. an attire which didn't make me look too young and kiddo.

so i paused to see who was that.
"i like ur tan. u do sports regularly?"
that was his 2nd compliment. smiling at me was this 32 year old man (he told me his age), dressed in a striped short sleeve shirt and pants, carrying 2 shopping bags. i stopped and answered him. i guess it was only polite to reply. and guess the next thing he said?
"You have a nice set of braces"
what?!!?? either he was really desperate to pick up a girl or he was trying very hard to strike a conversation wif me. i
was like, "eer, are u sure? i thought ppl would find braces hideous?"
"ohh, u will be surprised to find that some guys are actually turn on by girls who wear braces."
i can't help but laugh. surprisingly, it was actually kinda nice talking to him. perhaps i was biased since he complimented me. but seriously, he really made me day.

when he learnt that i was shopping for visor, he offered to accompany me. i declined so we stood outside a sports shop and chatted for about 10-15 mins. and he asked for my number twice. of course i said no but he was rather persistent. and we went on to talk about this health supplement, evening primrolls which he claimed is effectively in curing ulcers and insisted that i try it. so he passed me his no. and told me to text him about the results. later on, he invited me to his house for a swim when he realised that i got my tan from regular swimming. my god! wat was he thinking? or was i imagining things?
finally, i said, "i'm actually waiting for my boyfriend to come."
"it's okie. get him to come and we can all swim together"

wow, when i told dearie later wat happened, he said he would punch him if he ever see him. he thinks he's a sex pervert and even got his no. from me. haha.. but really, queensway is indeed a weird place to get pick up. dearie was neither mad nor jealous but said he would be fuming if i did give him my no. and he told me about his experience wif this prudential financial planner when he was at expo, who obviously was trying to be funny wif him. called him and asked him out. i guess we r both hotties eh? hahaha..we had a good laugh and teased each other about our little admirers. hey, i'm not boasting but the whole experience was really..unbelievable?

though we didn't spend a long time together, it was sweet. he 'pry' the tea egg into pieces for me so i could eat them as i still could not bite using my front teeth.

later in the night, he asked me,
"what would u do if there was no me?"
"life still goes on but i would be very sad. how about u?"
"tri would become my religion"
"it already is for u now"

hmm..not sure why he asked the question. but i know that he had compromised and made time for me despite his busy training schedule. and i really appreciate what he had done. mushy it may be, but i love u dearie for all that u have done. =) i really hope we have the chance to lead a life together.
