on a typically boring saturday night, all of us were lazing in the family hall after dinner. mandy didn't want to be engulfed by boredom, hence she went online. much to her surprise, mr brussell sprout started a conversation.
at the beginning, his tone was one that every boy should not have when trying to impress a girl. he acted blur and went, "i didn't add you and you didn't add me. how did we appear on each other's msn list? so weird!!" yea, and so very exasperating as well!! he also insulted mornique, calling her "weird" (totally turned us off!! where's the supposed thankfulness?). he went, "oh. mornique is your sister. she thinks i like you and said that she's on a 'mission'. so weird!!"
ps: guys should note that insulting siblings of the girl-of-interest is a definite 'no-no'.
he was so impatient, and couldn't wait for mandy to reply to his incessant 'gut-less' questions. the conversation became rather mundane, until he popped an unexpected question. he begged ("please?" i bet he would have gone on his knees if so required!!) mandy to tell him when her birthday is (like, why do you want to know?). this led to mandy requesting gingerly for an eeyore toy as a present, which he dropped a hint using a neutral 'maybe' (aww...so sweet eh? but still he sucks for insulting mornique!!).
the most exhilarating part of the conversation came in the form of the 'accidental' clicking of the 'heart' wink
twice. "oops. sorry. wrong person." like, do you have to do that
twice? oh, and it was so coincidental that you had to press the '
heart' wink of all winks available. totally conceivable, mr 'not sure'. we bought that, yea? like real!!
i learned from this conversation that a guy can be really juvenile (and thus, weak) when talking to the girl of his dreams. mr 'fall to pieces' played along with mandy-initiated 'taboo' game. the word-in-question was 'haha'. at the end of the conversation, he purposely typed tonnes of 'haha' and professed that he is a gentleman for allowing mandy to win the game. quite a sweet move, actually. he gets a thumb-up for this.
we all know how egoistic guys can be and how full of themselves they are. (ahem, once again, i stress that it is all in the name of extreme feminism demonstration. i am not liable for any damages, be it physical or emotional.) however, mr 'lying close to you, feeling your heart beating. and i'm wondering what you're dreaming, wondering if it's me you're seeing. and then i kiss your eyes..' was willing to stoop himself quite low for mandy. when mandy asked him what subject combination he is taking, he took a while before confessing that he is dropping to sub-science next year. anything for mandy!! anything at all!! (:
sub-consciously, i guess, he showed his desperation. he invited mandy to view 'webcam' with him. gosh, that's how badly he wanted to see her right? haha. when he joked with mandy that his birthday is on april 12 (when it is supposed to be on december4), mandy faked infuriation. this made him plead for forgiveness many times. woh!
the signature phrase was "hey, listen". he is not at all near this 'polite obliging gentleman' when talking to mornique. he was so nice and sweet when speaking to mandy. he ended the conversation with a "hey, listen, i got to go.
it was nice talking to you." can you sense the unwillingness to leave? mornique gets nothing like that at all. poor babe!!
so, that's a way to spice up a monotonous saturday night. but of course, please leave insulting mornique out during the next session.
brandon low's hilarious observation: whenever mandy's around, i hear mr lai going 'cling cling'.
what, you ask, is 'cling cling'? it is the sound of dropping balls. eekk. get it?
dad: why isn't the australian player in the shanghai open?
mandy: lleyton hewitt? his baby is coming out soon.
dad: oh, his baby is coming out soon.
(thinking of the baby coming out of hewitt literally, wide-eyed) HIS BABY IS COMING OUT SOON?!?!?!?!?!?
