My memory is failing me, especially with the fine details. Remembered the wrong time for tuition again, and was very late by the time I reached clementi interchange. Was walking at a fast speed, trying to avoid any possible hindrances, like people distributing brochures and selling tissue papers etc... So when a guy's voice behind me called out "excuse me"a few times, I simply didn't pay much attention to it and just thought it probably wasn't referring to me or at least hope that he'll go away if I don't respond if it's referring to me.
However, the person kept up and tapped me on my shoulder. Turned around and saw a totally unfamiliar face. Must emphasize that I really don't know this person.
Stranger: " Are u from NUS?"
I shook my head. (as a matter of fact, I'm not what... For now)
Stranger: " U look really familiar. Are u sure u are not from NUS?"
Me: "Ok, I was. Do I know u?"
Stranger: " Oh, which year did u graduate?"
Me: " last year. " (showing signs of irritation already...)
Stranger: " Where are u working now?"
Shook my head. (not because I'm not working but rather I don't want to answer)
Stranger: " You aren't working right now?"
Me: " I don't know u."
Stranger: " Were u from business?"
Me: " No.. Look, I really don't think I know u. What is it that u want?"
Stranger: " Then which faculty are u from?"
Totally exasperated and lost for words. Huiling's favourite phrase came to mind for that instance, "Which part of I don't know u do u not understand?"Just then, Cal's timely call came. Thank God... Eventually escaped after a while by saying I was in a rush and ran off after the bus.
Would I be featured on the new season of Gotcha for an episode of lousy pick up conversation?
