The Encounter
Monday, June 20, 2005
So now I'm stuck in the SMG room burning the raw SECC videos onto DVDs.. I have burnt 3 DVDs worth of videos already which means it's about 12Gb worth of vids!! I'm still buring so here I am at 10pm.. haven't eaten my dinner.. clearing up the SMG computer of any traces of SECC 2005...
Would have very much wanted to go for a run while waiting for the burning process to complete.. but I didn't bring my running attire.. damn if I woke up earlier for work today I wouldn't have rushed and forgot to bring my change in clothes..
Guess my lose-weight regime couldnt' work out again today coz by the time I get home it'll be close to 11 and would be an unearthly hour to hit the roads.. and yeah I dont wanna be picked up again...
Hmm.. guess I haven't updated everyone on my encounter rite? ahha.. yah too busy to touch this blog.. so I shall update you all now...
This happened a few weeks ago.. like 1 week before SECC.
I was running from my home towards Harbourfront.. and back.. so at Harbourfront I was all ready to cross the road to continue my journey back home. Waiting by the pedestrian crossing.. suddenly a grey pickup drove past me and the driver waved at me.
I didn't recognise him at all.
But he turned into the the Harbourfront taxi stand and parked there. Thinking back.. he did wave at me.. so I decided to take a look just in case it would be paiseh if I really did know him.. my relative or what.
And whoever got off the pickup was this middle-aged man (abt 50 years old). And I totally didn't recognise him at all.
(purple is that idiot.. orange is me)
"Hi.. I thought you looked like my friend"
"Ah apparently not.."
"Anyway there's no harm making another friend rite?" He extended his hand. I shook it.
"So what's your name?"
"Clement"
"Ah I'm waiting for my friends at Sentosa. Was lonely waiting alone so was thinking if someone could chat with me."
"So what time are your friends coming out?"
"11.30"
I looked at my watch and it was 10.45 pm.. no way am I going to talk to a stranger for 45 mins..
"So why don't you drive in and wait for them or something?"
"Nah I think I'll just wait here... So are you schooling or working?"
Gotcha there. I thought he was trying to sell me something..
"Schooling."
"Oh so you ran all the way here from school?"
"Yeah..."
"Ok.. I just wanna tell you....
that you look very sexy in your sweat.
You look gorgeous."
WAT THE FUCK!!! I WAS ENGAGED IN A HOMOSEXUAL!!!
For your curiosity I was in the OCS singlet and shorts.
"Yeah yeah.. no lah..." I anyhow answered as I planned my escape route.. clenching my fists to get ready to punch him in his face if he tries anything funny... Anyway.. I was sure I could outrun him... and I continued "Ok I'm sorry I can't talk for long. I have to run along now coz I don't want to break my momentum..."
"Ooh.. I'm sorry I caused you to break your.. momentum." Shit somehow the term 'break my momentum' seemed to turn him on... "Do you want me to give you a lift back or something?"
"NO."
"In that case why not I walk you across the road?" (towards Seah Im Food Court)
And so I did... keeping my distance behind that asshole...
"Why not we go in there and have a chat?" as he pointed into the dark carparks behind Seah Im Food Court.
"No I think I'd rather stay here..."
"Oh ok I think you're shy or what.. It's ok we'll stay here..." Alright no way your reverse tactic is going to work on me slimeball...
And he was at it again..
"I really just want to tell you that you look very sexy in your sweat.. you look gorgeous.. very handsome..."
"Ok look.. I just want to make it clear that I'm..."
"No.. no.. I'm not saying that you are gay or anything. I just want to tell you that I really admire you and.."
"Ok that's enough."
"I really gotta run along now.. so if you excuse me..."
"You sure you don't want me to give you a lift?"
"No thanks."
"Ok alright. At least we still talked for like.. 3 minutes? Is there anyway I can contact you next time?"
"I'd be running along here every night.. you can catch me if you want then." Yeah rite.. over my dead body will I be running there again...
"Ok.. what's your name again?"
"Peter."
"Nice talking to you Peter. Let me shake you hand."
And I reluctantly shook his hand and he touched my cheeks (eewww)
And of course I DASHED off...
Think I took half the time to get home compared to the time I ran towards Harbourfront itself.
Ok that's the end of the story.. haha guess what I'm at work now.. couldn't finish this post while in SMG room yesterday and didn't have time to complete last nite coz was uploading photos of SECC.. so..
