Unwelcomed friend...

Remember i once said there was this guy who helped me with parking on the first day i brought my car to work. that was i think perhaps 3 weeks ago.

Well, last week he called my office during lunch time. Here's the
conversation:-

Man: Hi, can i speak to ---- pls?
Me : Yes, ---- here. who's on the line?
Man: It's me, James (Name has been changed for privacy).
Me : James?
Man: Yes, James.
Me : Huh? i dunno anyone named James.
Man: Really ar?
Me : yes, really i dont know.
Man: It's me lar. James.
Me : from?
Man: Your company staff la
Me : sorry, i really dont know who u are.
Man: So, how's ur parking?
Me : Oh, it's you. sorry, i didnt know ur name is James.
Man: Oooo..so didnt go for lunch?
Me : (in complete bewilderment, wondering why on earth he is calling me) I ate
already.
Man: oh ic ic, I used to go canteen last time but now no more. The food is terrible.
Me : Oh ok (irrelevant info)
Man: so where are u from?
Me : ha..------. Why?
Man: Simply la,asking. Anyway i know some things about you.
Me : what things?
Man: No, just your hometown, ur family etc.
Me : ic..where u got the info from?
Man: undisclosed information,ha ha..
Me : the guard is it?
Man: No la no la, got it from William (name has been changed) in your
department. i and he very close u see.
Me : ok
Man: so anyway, u must be wondering why i called u..simply la. that daywhen i saw u, i really wanted to talk to you. Was waiting for so long for an opportunity to talk to you.
Me : Ic
Man: anyway, im married. 2 kids. No hanky panky. (laughs).
Me : ok
Man: i really want to be friends with you.
Me : ok.
Man: i have some things to give you.
Me : ha. what things?
Man: calendar, diary etc.
Me : i already have all that.
Man: Never mind la, i'll come up and see you.
Me : no, it's ok.
Man: no, i'll come up now.

20 mins later, he came up with a small envelope. came near my cubicle and kept the envelope on my table.

Me : What is that?
Man: Diary la.
Me : oh..
(and i walked away to another section)
He went off

Called again

Man: Hi, why didnt u pick up the envelope?
Me : i'll pick it up later.
Man: ok, just dont let anyone see it. It's only given to company customers.I only had two. one im using. another one i wanted to give to someone special, and u r the best person to get it. use it for ur personal things.dont keep it in the office.
Me : ok, tq
Man: you are so tall la. Taller than me.
Me : ya..
Man: so when are u planning to get married?
Me : Ha?
Man: (*laughs)
Me : (quiet)
Man: ok then, bye
Me : Bye
(i hung up)

On the envelope, was this note, "Can we be friends?" his name and handphone num.

Went home,showed the stuff to dad. Dad said if he asks u what u did with
the diary, tell him i gave it to my dad :-)

Then, two days later, he drove his car near mine when i was taking it out from the parking lot and showed the 'call me' gesture in full view of other staffs there and went off. Some of the staffs were looking at me, as if i had some connection with him. I got so bloody pissed off, i didnt look into his direction at all.

And everytime if im in the parking lot the same time as him, he will ride his car slowly near mine, and sit and wait till i finish parking as if he is my parking guru checking on my progress..bluek! Twice or more, i smiled at him out of courtesy, and then i didnt even bother looking at his face after that. i guess he sensed it for he doesnt bother me much now except for the occasional horn when he drives near my car and i always avoid from bumping into him.

well, i dont know if he sincerely wants to be my friend but i have my doubts. besides, friendship doesnt form just by asking someone to be ur friend. it happens naturally. dad said, "now he says he is married. next thing u know, he will say he is going for a divorce and seek comfort from you." I have heard these kind of things from real victims.

i just cant digest the fact that some married men can behave this way. I dont see my father or my uncles hanging on the phone with young girls or even women their own age or asking girls to be their friends. why cant others behave the same way too. I can handle this guy. Just hope there wont be somemore.

i told this incident to my bf and guess what he said, cheh, he gave u a diary ah? next time, ask him la to give swatch watch ka, hi fi set ka..

Tak guna..=)

and when i was telling my dad, my parking is not so good, mum said, ask la James to teach you..

Cis.....=)

I scolded my small bro last night for losing my stuff. Feeling bad. Need to apologize when i return home.

Anyway, depressing matters aside..im writing this at lunch time and there is this cute,sweet chinese guy in my dept walking near my cubicle. He's so sweet looking and everytime he smiles at me,my heart melts.

He's coming near..

Nearer..

Turn man, turn..

He is turning..

Ahhh...a dimpled smile..

Melted.......................

Is this love?

he he =)

Im bound to get another kick again soon!
