You know it’s true…
Thursday, November 30th, 2006…I’d rather spend my money on shoes.
And old acquaintance rang me up recently, haven’t spoken to him in years. After the conversation, I remembered why!
Him: How have you been? Are you still in NZ? (he’s called my Malaysian mobile mind you)
Me: No, I’m in KL, you just rang my Maxis dude
Him: Oh yeah! (laughs)
Me: I’m OK lah, working now, in media, you?
Him: I just got a promotion, I’m the youngest partner in my law firm
Me: I never realised you were a lawyer
Him: Yeah, and I’m getting paid 120 grand a year!
Me: Oh, that’s great, good for you (full concentration back on the magazine cover I’m working on)
[boring bit where he goes on about himself for two minutes]
Him: Want to have dinner next Friday?
Me: Oh, I’m really busy, end of the year and all that, I’ll let you know lah
Him: Okay. Let’s go to Third Floor, long time never go already. You can afford that place right? (WTF? What kind of statement is that, you ask me to go out with you AND pay, Third Floor or otherwise? You sure you’re Mr. 120kp.a.?)
Me: Third Floor is so overrated lah, seriously, I’d rather spend my money on shoes. I have to get back to work, catch up with you soon, bye.
Him: Okay babe, I will call you next week.
If he ever calls me I am going to feign amnesia.
