Out of the blue...
I am not a person that hates to make friend. Maybe, well sometimes I am, but this is different. Imagine someone messaging you in a strange number saying "good morning" with no Caps, No full-stop... It struck my curiousity and I replied, wanting to know who the well wisher was. The reply? "Derek". For a momment, I was gripped by fear. I thought that I have been rushing through the marketing project and that part of my memory was erased due to overloading of information. I went on replying apologetically, "Derek? So sorry, but which?" Then came the sickening short message,"I
get your number from sky pe". I believe he meant skype and I can't help but roll my eyeballs. I have downloaded skype just so to chat with friends from Aust. Who are you??? Am I under any obligation to reply your messages and act as if I know you well? And I hate 1 word sms reply, except 'ok'. Let me reiterate, I lke making friends, but not the shallow kind of friendship. Anyway, it's a special day today. I should find peace. Such incident should not affect me.
Great, great, just when I thought I will find peace, a message comes in again.
"Y not replying me? are u angry with me cos i got your number without permission?" Duh? How am I supposed to reply? Is this a prank? If it is, this is a list of the prime suspect:
Suspect No.1 : My students. (Hundreds of them, but who? They probably have no ides about skype)
Suspect No. 2: Nana Bey Choo kee. (Must be her, she has the wackiest idea, but she has no idea that I have skype account!)
Suspect No. 3: Cheryl (Afterall, she was the one who introduced Skype to me. but Cheryl is too busy to do that. I bet she doesn't even think about it!)
Suspect No 4: Lin. (Recently, she has been into this weird mood of pairing me up with people. Maybe she lias with cheryl?)
Here comes another clue: "I 20 this year my name derek and i doing NS now. Just wants to make friend with you." HUH?
Suspect No 5: Lei ming. (Today go army sure make new friends. What more same age? Bully me even before going into jail? But he doesn't know I use Skype! Who???)
Help me people, it must be someone.
