conversations

this is over sms, on an evening i was tired but i had nothing better to do between the time i fall asleep and the time when still lying half awake - which was the beginning of a great deal of uh, excitement.

me: 木头。
x: i'm smarter than that...
me: -smile- maybe. perhaps i'm the one!
x: takes time sometimes...
me: O o
wah piang another one. how come tonight i keep getting blind-sided one??
x: ?? can meet you for kopi tomorrow if you want. i'm in jb in the morning
me: i've stuff on the entire of tomorrow... very hard, really. i was thus pushing for tonight, as that was the only window i may have caught you... it's alright la, dealt with the money issue already.*

10 minutes later, in which my conversation with another friend went like this as accurately as i remember, in bold:

me: eh. i think this is the wrong time to fall in love. what do you think?
him: ok lah ...blah blah blah... falling in love is alright.
me: [said something]
him: [something something] i'm not flirting with you. really.
me: ? ^^'
har? er. what??
me: wah i must be getting stupid. what's going on??

and it suddenly dawns on me that -

me: OMG are you thinking i'm asking you over for something dubious??? it is NOT THE CASE! >_<
x: dun be ridiculous... i'm not.... insulted
me: you're not insulted? what does that mean? over what?? -cry-
k i shall.. keep my hands off the phone and... go sleep. nobody's making any sense tonight T_T
x: i'm not like that... i feel insulted!!!! LOL


at this point i was curled up in foetal position, sucking my thumb furiously wondering how on earth the conversation went that way. well. not really, but you get the idea of the kind of trauma i go through sometimes.


* the money issue is not because i was short on money, but because i was to head to malaysia for work and i hadn't made the trip down to the money changer's yet. that friend is a regular visitor of malaysia, and i thought i might exchange some money with him instead.
