My friend SudahS, just had a very amusing encounter lately. She got introduced to this Ah Beng guy by her friends. Her friend then tries to fix them up by giving her number to this guy (without her knowledge).
The next day, SudahS gets smses from this guy, whom she barely knows,(in barely coherent english btw)...asking her out for a date. Initial reaction from SudahS are shrieks of "Ee-yer!!!!!". Then, SudahS gets furious at her friend because she is not interested in dating now, and furthermore, she can't even remember how the guy remotely looks like. All she CAN recall, is tt he was wearing pants. (Henceforth, the guy will be known as Mr Pants.)
SudahS calls up her friend demanding an explanation for the unneccessary mess she's in now. Her friend's reply "but he's a good catch what! He's from the national canoeing team, check out his bod man! Somemore ah, he help his mother do housework leh!"
SudahS then sarcastically points out tt even psycho murderers might be involved in charity work/ help their mums do the washing. Perhaps these psychos could qualify as great 'catches' too? (This reminds me of how my mum often complains abt her single daughter being fussy with guys: "Why so fussy? Got job, don't drink, don't smoke can oredi what!" My mum certainly has high expectations for me. Ah, my sweet family!)
Anyway, SudahS's friend tries to clear up the mess and explain things to Mr Pants. Mr Pants calls/ smses to apologise for "being frightening....n not having enuff foresight" and to say that he hopes to meet her before she leaves for Australia. SudahS is amazed that the word 'foresight' is part of his vocab. Then she politely entertains him by agreeing.
Next day, it seems like Mr Pants still hasn't gotten the point. SudahS awakes to an sms that says 'Good morning PAL!'. A perplexed SudahS thinks "who's your freaking pal man???" But after calming down, Audrey moves beyond frustration, to a state of tickled amusement. She now secretly looks forward to Mr Pant's smses...just to laugh at the funny msges he sends.
At night, SudahS recounts the tale to Mich. Mich and SudahS roar in laughter over the amusing antics of Mr Pants, and her 'wonderful' friends who fix her up with 'cannot-make-it' guys. It just seems so 'Bridget Jones' doesn't it?Classic 'nightmares' in the dating scene. Hahaha! I think some of you might be able to identify.

Aiyah... mich, you make us sound like meanies.
ok, to be fair, I have no idea who Mr Pants is as a person (that has been clearly established by mich). For all I know, he MAY NOT be a serial killer (We may never find out).
In fact, he may be, just as my friend has described; ie a sweet, innocent, boy who helps mum with housework and who has a buff bod (ok mich, keep whatever comments at this juncture to self).
So Mr Pants, if you are reading this, it was simply bimbotic indulgence at the end of a loooong day. Please don't be offended.
