It’s always unwise to give out your REAL number to strangers, no matter what the reasons are! Few days ago, I was walking very fast to class (late, as usual).. When I reached Building 2, suddenly this freaky-looking guy approached me and asked for my name. I was like, Huh? He introduced himself as a new masters student in UTP, bla bla bla.. and asked for my number. Mmm. Stupid me gave it to him.
That was the start of the horror.
He called me at around 11pm two nights ago. I can’t remember the whole conversation so I will try to write up as accurate as I told my friends here.
Me: Hello?
Stranger: Hi. Remember me? The Masters student?
Me: Oh. Yea.
Stranger: Are you free now? Do you want to go out yum char?
Me: Arh?
At that point, I am having a meeting with Mrs Li and Dini.
Me: I’m having meeting.
Stranger: Oh. What meeting is that?
Me: Errm. Project meeting.
Stranger: What project is that?
Me: (OMG, what’s this? Interrogation?!) Creating a website.
Stranger: -no voice-
I can’t hear his voice, so I assumed he hang up or something. So i also pressed the red button and thought it was the end of it lah.
RINGGGGG!
Me: Hello?
Stranger: Sorry, line was reli bad. So you are not free now lah?
Me: Yea.
Stranger: Oh. So when can I see you again?
Me: Arh?
Stranger: You free for lunch tomoro?
Me: ERM. No.
Stranger: Why?
Me: I’m going back home. (of cuz i had to lie, rite??)
Stranger: Oh. How you going back?
Me: Bus.
Stranger: Hmm. So you’ll be going thru Ipoh rite?
Me: I’m not sure.
Stranger: Oh. If you going bek by Ipoh, can I send u there?
Me: (WHAT?!) HA? No need lah. I can settle myself. Mebe I’ll go bek by Taman Maju.
Stranger: What’s Tmn Maju?
Me: Erk. Outside UTP?
Stranger: Oh. Den can I still send u there?
Me: WHAT?! Why u wanna send me?
Stranger: Oh I wanna learn how to drive around UTP.
Me: Oh. So where r u from?
Stranger: Why? Is it important?
OMG. What? After his 101 questions, I can’t ask him a single question?
Me: Cuz you are so blur abt the roads around, so I know you are not from Ipoh lah.
Stranger: Oh. I”m from KL.
Bullshit. KL Chinese dont speak in Mandarin to another chinese. Usually they wud speak in Canto first.
Me: Oh.
Stranger: Why u dont want me to send u? Why, u sked your bf will mind?
Me: Oh. Yea, kind of.
Stranger: Oh. Hmm. Since you going Tmn Maju, can I go with your bf to send u off?
Me: HA???
Stranger: You don’t worry. I”m not trying to chase after you.
Me: ERK. It’s still okay. I can settle myself. After all I’m not sure whether going back or not.
Stranger: Ha? Why you dunno wan? It’s already so late and you still havent make up your mind?
What’s all this lecture man! So you know it’s LATE, and you still wanna ask an unknown girl out for mamak?
Me: Yeah. I’m like that wan. If I feel like going bek, I will. If not, then I’ll not.
Stranger: Oh. Wah u are very indecisive.
Me: Yeah.
Stranger: Hmm. Den can I still meet you for lunch when you come back?
Me: (OMG) Oh. See first lah.
Stranger: See what? We set a time and date now lah.
OMG. What the hell. You don’t set a time and date for LUNCH like, 5 days ahead! This guy definitely is not in his right mind!
Me: We’ll see first lah.
Stranger: Oh. Why you so sked to sit in my car?
Me: Ha? No lah. I don’t know you… (voice trails off)
Stranger: Wah, you think you’re so great, my car is not good enough for you isit? You think I’m not up to your status ha? You think you’re some kind of “Xian Nu” (bidadari/deity) that you cannot sit in MY car?
OK. He’s going WAY too far now. And so I replied..
Me: I gtg.
Stranger: -sensing that I’m pissed off- Can I still call you tomoro? You know, to send u to Tmn Maju?
Me: NO. Bye. -Hung up-
Go f*ck yourself man! Tell me which girl is brave enough to sit in a stranger’s car in the middle of the night?! And summore he gets pissed off when he didn’t get what he wants. HALO. You think you damn great isit. Just because one girl rejected you doesn’t mean you can get all pissy.
And he didn’t contact me the next morning. Phew. I thought the horror is all over.. until he called again the same time, yesterday night! OMG. I was in the car with Kul, Leesh and Frank that time… and Leesh said, “Ask Frankie to answer”. So I passed the phone to him and he answered. Frank said he couldn’t hear anything but he sed its a guy’s voice who called. And he hung up on him. Freaky guy never called back anymore that night. Hopefully he won’t call again tonight and forever.
