The long and short about My Lonely Monday

I very nearly choked on a piece of Oreo when Nerd sneaked up on me at the pantry this afternoon.


Nerd: Eh, Mr Sian? Can I ask a flavor?

Me: What????

Nerd: Can I leave 30 minutes earlier today?

Me: Huh? Why leh?

Nerd: Eh. . . . I got a date tonight.

Me: Guy or girl?

Nerd: Haha, girl, haha. . . .


I think I never said ‘Okay!’ so fast before in my life.

While I am damn relieved that this probably means that my fears about him being ‘on to me’ are unfounded, I felt kind of sad at the same time because I’m reminded of the sad fact that it’s been a really long time since I last went on a date. It was with a uni project mate, and I think it didn’t went too well because besides spilling popcorn on her, I was covering my face most of the time.



Never bring your date to a scary movie if you are hum chee


To make myself feel better, I went to KFC for an indulgent dinner. But my three-piece meal didn’t work their magic this time because seated opposite me was this couple who was happily feeding each other whipped potato.

I resolve to do takeaways next time.

With Love,
Sibeh Sian
