Me: Who is this??
Wierdo: Don't know if you still remember after all these years, but this is **. I took a class with you in UH. Anyways, I just wanted to know how you have been these past 4 years. Still remember U.
Me: Oh, hi. How are u? I'm good, doing my MBA now.
Weirdo: Glad u are well. Other than the fast that I really miss someone day and night, i'm doing fine. I am going to florida this november to pursue the abundance of career opportunities in the mainland. Which particular area are you getting a masters in? Nutrient? (it's nutrition, and didn't I already say MBA???)
Me: Masters in Business Administration. No worried about the hurricanes?
Wierdo: I'm not afraid of a couple of hurricanes. Life is full of risks and uncertainties anyway. Besides, if i want to become a somebody and to make my mark in this world I must be ready to take a chance and have the courage to meet the challenges of life head on. (er.... ok. Sounds normal still and full of enthusiasm for life?)
Me: Ok, sound good. Good luck ! You got your degree in business?
Weirdo: Yes, I got my degree in business. My specialization is in investment. As you can see there are more oppotunities in the mainland than hawaii. I will not have a good future if I stay here. What about you? Where will you go after you get your degree? You are not going back to Malaysia are you?
Me: I don't know yet. We'll have to see after I graduate
Wierdo: No matter what you decide, I am sure you will do well. I see strength in you. In my life I have the privilege of knowing two women who possess a strength i rarely observe in other women. One was my former high school teacher, who i held at the highest respect. The other is you shu ling( NOT HOW U SPELL MY NAME, and to think that you said you see strength). That was why I was attracted to you (hmmm...)
Me: Ok, thanks! (what else was I supposed to say). What do you currently do?
Wierdo: There are certain things i have to do to prepare for the trip in november, but i can do it later. I can be free now. What do you have in mind? (thats not what i meant. I said, what do you currently do? not what are you doing currently....)
Me: Sorry, think you misunderstood. I meant what are you working as currently?
Weirdo: Oh, i see! No, I'm not working because I am not planning to stay here in hawaii (yes, i got that part already. doesn't mean you can't work?? for the time being...). I am not satisfy working as a financial planner or advisor which is, perhaps, the best job I can find here. I know that if i work, I will be tie down and there will be less of a chance to go to the mainland ( really??). But I trade stocks part time. Been doing for 4 years now. Haven't had much success but the experience is invaluable. I have confidence I will be successful in florida (man, the confidence is choking).
The next day.....
Wierdo: Good afternoon! I hope I wasn't being inconvenient yesterday. I apologize if I was. I know things may seem weird after so many years, but I hope that we could be reacquainted (reacquainted?? we were never acquainted in the first place!). I hope I am not asking for too much.
Me: Dun worry about it...
Weirdo: Great! There are still so many things we don't know about each other (seriously, not too curious about you). So many things I want to know bout you such as your favorite food, flower and music (getting weird here). I want to know what makes you smile and what makes you happy. I want to know about your life dreams and ambitions (weirder still). To sum it up, i am interested in knowing anything about u. (OK, getting seriously weird here)

And yet, the next day....
Weirdo: I know you are industrious, so you probably have a busy life (not really...). But if you would like to meet up sometime, let me know when it would be convenient for u. There no rush! (good to know....)
A week later....
Weirdo: I will be free this weekend. Do let me know if you can meet up with me. We can go for coffee or something, just as friends. U do like coffee right?
The saturday after....
Weirdo: I thought I saw a potential in you, and I decided to take a chance on fate. I guess I was wrong. It's been a pleasure, Have a good life! (guess there's no potential afterall, Did I lose the strength too??? aww.... shucks:-()So, what exactly happened to "there no rush"??
Never had I received such long smses in my life....like, seriously
I know I had prompted questions that would in return ask for more smses.
But did I really sound that interested? or curious? seriously!
