So yesterday I was at the opticians near my school. Arghh.. the degree in my right eye has gone up again. :( I had a really nice conversation with Pat (not her real name) who's the shopkeeper. When I told her I was Singaporean, she told me she visited Singapore in 1979. WOW. and the amazing thing was that she could still remember orchard road, Victoria Concert Hall, and how beautiful the trennies at geylang are... yeah.. err.. and the hawker centre (prolly lau par sat) and she said we have delicious shrimps. ahahah i couldn't agree more cuz I love shrimps.

anywho... I was trying on some spectacles(for fun) and this father(I think) and son walked into the store. So I was sitting there looking in the mirror with a pair of specs. and suddenly the "son" said "let me see." I got a little shock. So I looked at him through the specs. This guy looked quite good looking. well.. y'know the typical american hunk that u see in some tv series or movie. Can't really remember his face though. hmm.. so maybe not. ahaha anyway, So I said, "I think it's cool." then he asked me what was my degree. I said, "-2.75" he said, "oh. mine's -2.50. That's pretty close." so I said, "do you wear contacts?" and he said no. I was wondering how he could see anything!! my goodness. Then he said he's making glasses and they are red. So I replied, "yeah... red's cool." Oh my gosh. only now do I realise what good memory I have. hope I'm not boring you. I just wanna recount everything in detail.

So after ordering some stuff from the opticians, I left the store. The next day, I went back to check on the stuff I ordered and Pat told me that she forgot to ask for my number (cuz she wants to call me when the stuff I ordered comes). Then she said something about this guy called Andrew(not his real name) who will call me. and she asked if I wanted to give him my number. I didn't really understand what she was saying and I thought she meant the guy who was gonna call me when the stuff that I wanted to buy arrives. anyway, it was all very bizzare. So I just said yeah just give him my number. whatever. So I left the store.

About half and hour to one hour later, she called me and told me that she gave my number to this Andrew guy. So she kept repeating that she doesn't know him very well and I should find out for myself. ok anyone who's reading this right now is going "huh...??" hahaha. So I asked, "errmm.. so.. who's this Andrew guy again???" and she was like, "So you didn't know what I was talking about the whole time??!!! Andrew!! the guy you met in the store yesterday! The one who's buying the pair of red spectacles!" and I was like, "WHAT?!! OH MY GOSH I THOUGHT YOU MEANT SOME OTHER GUY WHO WILL CALL ME WHEN WHAT I ORDERED HAS ARRIVED!!!" and she was like, "You mean you didn't know he was interested in YOU??!??!" and I was like, "ERR NO?!?" and she replied, "OH MY G**! CHARMAINE YOU ARE SO INNOCENT!!" So I yelled,"THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN IN SINGAPORE!!!" and she was like, "yeahh.. I know I know..."

So now this guy has my number. and I was wishing and hoping he will not call. But of course, he did. And at first i didn't wanna pick it up. But I thought, well.. you don't get this everyday so just pick it up and see what happens. and also, I was already kinda thinking how to blow him off. ahhaha

So I said "hi... May I know who's this? (YEAH LIKE I DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW)" and he said he was Andrew and that we met at the opticians yesterday and he knew I wasn't expecting his call. YEAH WHADDYA KNOW. so I said, "OH HI Andrew! yes.. I remember." so after all the how are yous and I am fines... I got straight to the point and said, "Yeah... Pat told me that she gave you my number and it was a misunderstanding because I didn't mean for it to happen." and he was like, "ohh... really...?" and I replied, "yeahh.................. I'm ENGAGED." I had to tell him that. I had to. It's alot better than saying,"yeah! I'm single and available but I'm NOT interested in you." doncha think? So he said again, "oh..." and i was like, "yeah.. I don't wanna mislead you and all.. I mean it's not that I think you are not a great guy or whatever but yeah... I'm really really sorry." heeheeheheeheeheehehee..

so he said, "Next time, bring your fiancee with you!"

hahaah then I laughed and said, "yeaaahh.. I will!"

well, I gotta admire this guy. He's got the guts. Unlike alot alot alot of people out there. I felt sorry. but what to do....

So now I have NO boyfriend and DEFINITELY no fiancee. GREAT. hahaha

HAH! DAD! MOM! HANWAH! I was THIS close to getting an ANG MOH boyfriend. ahahahhaha! and you guys wouldn't be too happy about it wouldja?
