Once upon a time… March 2, 2006
Posted by AkumAPRIME in : Life , trackbackOn the train, coming back from Ilan, a woman sitting next to me struck up a conversation. Her name is Savia and she wanted to practice her english, so we exchanged contact info. After a few days IMing, we planned to have dinner. We decided to meet at gate 2 of an irrelevant MRT station.
I was worried, as I went to meet her, that I wouldn’t recognize her. After all I had only seen her on the train for a bit, and my memory is not great. Luckily, when I got there, there was a woman waiting and looking at me, so my fears were alleviated. As we walked we talked about various things. She seemed shorter than I thought, but since we were sitting on the train, I dismissed that thought. We were talking about my phone problem (which I hope to give you good news about and fully explain soon enough) when she got a phone call. She asked me where my phone was and I said, at the store…
Her english was pretty good, considering she had said it was poor on the train. Maybe she was nervous. As we walked, her phone rang again. She showed me her phone and the display said “MATU.” She asked, ” Do you know who this is?”
Laughing, I said, ” No” and wondered why I would know who was calling on her phone.
We sat down to dinner and when our food came, she got a third call and answered. Then she looked at me and said, ” Who ARE you?”
lol, ” I’m Evan, aren’t you Savia?”
” No, I’m Berry!”
At this point everything becomes clear. Why she seemed shorter, looked differentish, spoken english better, asked me strange questions and kept looking confused.
” Don’t you know who you’re meeting? I mean, haven’t you seen his picture?”
” Yes but from far away.”
At this point we both had to split and meet our Real dates. The food had Just come to. I took mine to go, thinking that after 25 minutes, Savia would be long gone. I waited 5 minutes and started to head down to the MRT, when I heard “Ee Tien” (my chinese name). Luckily Savia wasn’t angry, and she was able to practice her english…
OMG was I embarassed. Note to self: Ask about identity if unclear!
