| Story of a loser |
| 04.10.05 (4:17 pm) [edit] |
When I was in Penang, the hotel which I stayed at was just next to a shopping mall. The shopping mall is just 3 minutes walk away and I spent many nights there 'hunting' for dinner, as well as to do my groceries.
One night in the mall, when I was just lazily walkin' and checkin' things out and having no idea at all what to eat, I came across this shop selling sunglasses. And there I saw SC for the first time, and was bedazzled by her beauty. She's averaged height, fair smooth pinkish skin and has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. Immediately I told myself, "God, I wanna date her". But I lack the guts to ask her out but I find myself going there night after night, walking past her little shop, stealing glances.
One of the things that I did when I was in Penang was that I took up SCUBA diving, and I took lessons at a nearby sports arena. Anyway, SCUBA lessons chapter 5 says that when you are underwater too long you might suffer from something called nitrogen narcossis. This is due to too much nitrogen accumulating in your body. Nitrogen narcossis affects a person kinda the same way alcohol does. It makes you feel high, and you have the tendency to act in an erratic and euphoric and well, drunk way.
So one Sunday morning, after diving, I went to the mall to get something to eat. Also to do my normal 'stalking' routine. But that day was different, and I now blame it to my having nitrogen narcossis because THAT day I had a sudden 'courage'. I stood in front of her shop on the pretense of checking out some shades. SC came out of her shop and gave a pleasant smile. My heart melted. She asked if I was looking to buy a pair. One thing led to another and I found myself forking out 250 bucks for a pair of spectacles I don't need.
She said I could collect my glasses in two days time. I paid a 100 bucks deposit, and before leaving with my heart pounding like mad, I asked her for her name.
"Excuse me?" she asked, surprised. "Whats your name?" I repeated. She hesitated, then smiled a shy smile, then told me her name. I smiled back sheepishly, probably said something like "Thanks" and left, happy with myself that I had at least known her name.
Two days later...
I had spent the next 48 hours plotting my next move. Damian gave some funny pickup lines which was so corny I think can only work on TV. When the day finally came, I went to her shop only to find that she had two helpers with her. That was soooo not in the script. And no more excessive nitrogen in my veins to give me that extra boost of courage. I left her shop another 150 bucks poorer, and with an extra pair of glasses I don't need. But I haven't accomplished my mission yet. I couldn't give up so easily, so on to plan B...
The receipt had her shop's phone number. So I went back to my car, took out my handphone and rang her number.
Me: "May I speak to SC please?"
SC: "Speaking..."
Me: "Hi, this is Me...I'm the one who just collected his glasses just now"
SC: "Okaaaay..."
Me: "Yeah, I was wondering if I could have your phone number?"
SC: *giggles*
Me: *stomach somersaulting*
SC: "Actually something's wrong with my phone, but you could call me at the shop"
Me: "Really, I can? You're okay with that? I won't be bothering and stuff?"
SC: "Yeah, sure."
Me: "Alright...thanks, bye"
SC: "Bye..."
Another two days later...
Damian had given me more corny pick up lines which just solidifies his goofy status.
So I've waited another 48 hours before making my next move, despite Damian's advice 'to strike while the iron is still hot'. Anyways, two days is enough time to be playin' cool right? I mean, not being too desperate?
So I rang her number again.
Me: "Hi, SC this is Me, I called a couple of days ago?"
SC: "Oh hi..."
Me: "Are you busy now? Can you talk?"
SC: "Not really..."
Me: "Oh okay...well, I'm just gonna take a minute..."
SC: "Okaaaay...."
Me: "Okay, the truth is, I would like to see you again. But I can't go to your shop and get myself another pair of glasses. I already have an extra one I don't need."
SC: *giggles*
Me: *prays that tongue does't get tied now*
Me: "So...I wondering if I could take your out for a drink sometime, maybe lunch or dinner. Would you be interested?"
SC: *giggles*
SC: "Errmmmm...not at the moment..."
Me: "Not at the moment? What does that mean?"
SC: "Errmmmm...I'm actually taken.*
Me: "Ohhhhhhh...okaaaaaaay...haha, ok, that's cool. Thanks anyway...bye"
SC: "Byee...*click*"
So, there you go, my loser story.
However, in retrospect, I don't really feel that I was a loser at all. Instead I think its funny because I had never done something like that before, I mean asking a girl out like that.
But after that I didn't do anymore stalking. I avoided her shop so that I won't bump into her. In fact I avoided that corner of the mall completely. I'd walk the other long way to get to the other shops.
But the funny thing was I still bumped into her, albeit only once. Out of nowhere she appeared, and we walked past each other, and we both smiled. She probably thought that was kinda funny too, that she had never had anyone walk up to her like that. Or maybe she was just laughing at me. Anyways, we said hi to each other and she flashed me that wonderful smile again.
I never saw her after that. But I do think about her every now and then. Like now. And I think I should write it down, although NOTHING actually happened. Its just something that puts a smile to my face.
