Installment 3
Im 26 years old. And Im never short of dates. Blind dates that
is. All thanks to my grandma. Sometimes it makes me wonder why
grandma doesnt apply for SDU as a chief executive officer.
Seriously, I have never been in love all these years. I havent
really met anyone that is able to ring the bell in my head yet. I
wanted to find someone to love of course. I want to get married, of
course, but not in this way. I want to do it on my own.
Its 10.20pm. Im 10 minutes early.
I love this café. They make the best cappuccino in the world. Much
better that some other cafés by the name of starbarks and coughing
beans.
I got myself a large cup of hot cappuccino and sat down on the
couch. I like to sniff at the cappuccino. It smells so nice.
Mmmm
Is that guy in orgasm? Two lians walked passed me saying
that.
Buzz off, kidos. Cant you just let a guy enjoy his cappuccino? I
barked back, giving them an additional stare.
Of course, they walked off. But that was after I brandished my
Mohican tattoo on my arm. Pea brains. What do they know about the
joy of cappuccino?
Hi! There was a tap on my shoulder. Oh great! Now all my qi is
gone. I read in a particular forum about tapping shoulders. It
would make a persons qi dissipate and the poor dude would be
having bad luck for a period of time. Well. Haiz. It has to be
me.
Hello. Have a seat. I replied.
It was Lisa, of course.
She was stunning. I think it must be her first time using a
lipstick. I think the lipstick smeared a little bit to the right.
But other than that, shes stunning.
Sorry I was late. I was caught up with too much work. She
apologized.
Youre not that late, I was early. My watch read 11.40pm. She was
late for 1 hour.
Time flies when you are enjoying a good cup of cappuccino.
Do you want to go in now? I asked her.
Okay. Im really sorry. She apologized again.
Its okay. Let me get another cup of cappuccino. You want a cup?
I knew I needed 2 cups of coffee to keep me awake through this
movie.
Erm. No thanks. She replied. She That girl has no idea what shes
missing out in this world.
After I got my second cup, we went up to the cinema.

Popcorns? I asked when I saw people queuing for them.
She just smiled and shook her head, I just had my dinner.
Its not good to have dinners so late. Itll spoil your stomach.
I gave her some good advice.
Sometimes I just cant help it.
Well, me too. Haha. I had a spoilt stomach. That was good
evidence.
I took out the movie tickets from my wallet and handed it over to
the ticket attendant. I actually almost fainted when I saw the
ticket guy.
Eh. Santos, its you again. Everytime come here always bring
different girl leh. You power leh. Can teach me how to tackle girls
or not? How come you can get so chio one every time. The ticket
attendant is Derricks younger brother, Mike. Derrick always told
me that he sneaks in for free movies when his brother is working.
Cheap skate.
You say enough already or not? I moved my arm over to make my
Mohican tattoo obvious to him.
It didnt have an effect on him, Aiyoh. So shy for what? Teach
leh? Or introduce me some leh? I cant seem to shut him up.
Looking back at Lisa, I saw that she was laughing. Alright, Im the
joke here. Im the entertainer again.
Ill tell you when Im free another time. I brushed him aside and
left quickly for my cinema hall. I noticed that behind me was a
queue Ive formed, laughing also, at me. Who else can it be?
We entered the cinema hall quietly as we were late, found our seat
and sat down.
Thats my friends younger brother, Mike. Dont bother too much
about him. He likes to talk and joke.
OEI. HELLO! WANT TO TALK COCK SING SONG GO OUTSIDE THE CINEMA
HOR. LIM BEH TRYING TO WATCH A MOVIE HERE LEH. Someone in front
shouted.
An Ah beng here to watch Amelie, a romantic French comedy?
Sheesh.
It must be the tap on the shoulder.
