The long and short about The Date III

Ok, I changed my mind. Here’s what happened during the date.

It was a very different Office Bimbo when I met her on Monday morning. Instead of her usual chirpy self, she was looking rather distraught when I bumped into her in the pantry. I was feeling generous, and tried to cheer her up by offering her some of my nasi lemak. To my horror, she accepted and I was left feeling hungry for the morning. Walau.

I knew by then something was seriously wrong because under normal circumstances, she would not go an inch near nasi lemak because she claims it makes people fat. I decided against the idea of KFC when she said she needed a place where she can have a quiet conversation over dinner, and since I only know of one place where I can have a quiet conversation over dinner, we ended up at the sushi bar that evening.

After a few rounds of sake, she finally told me what was troubling her: Her parents are getting a divorce because of, what else, the appearance of another woman. In fact, her mum and her lover are holidaying in the Maldives right now.

I asked her why she was telling me all this, and she said she had no idea herself. She just wanted someone to talk to, and somehow my name happened to pop up. This was all ok until she popped that question to me.


Office Bimbo: Sian, can you do something for me please?

Me: Huh? Eh, what?

Office Bimbo: Can you let me slap you please?

Me: HUH?!?!?

Office Bimbo: My ex used to let me do that to him. It lets me de-stress, really!


Needless to say, I rejected her utterly bizarre request. Although I am very disturbed, I now have a better idea why Office Bimbo and her SLK Driving Boyfriend have gone separate ways. I also politely rejected her counteroffer of letting me slap her. I have no idea what the hell young women are thinking of nowadays.

By this stage, Office Bimbo was getting quite drunk, so I had to help her out of the bar. And that was when I bumped into Sushi Eating Friend. She looked at me, looked at Office Bimbo with her arms clung around me, and walked into the sushi bar without any expression.

I am so sibeh sian :(


With Love,
Sibeh Sian


P.S. BTW Office Bimbo has been very friendly ever since our ‘date’. She even gave me a ticket to watch Phantom of the Opera with her this Sunday, because her friend couldn’t make it. I hope it’s not going to be scary like Sadako sia.
