Of New Hire and Ex-Best Friend

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Yesterday was my new hire’s first day.

Why do i feel the need to blog about this, i wonder?

Trying not to sound like a mediocre lesbian porn, well, she’s my girl la, really! She has got this really innocent looking face and i was like “Urgh, not another goodie two shoes! Someone bite me and make it fast!”

And then, she asked me “Where is the smoking area?”

I swear, it was like a Hellelujah moment for me.

In more ways than one, she reminds me of myself. She reads, she smokes, she’s cool. :)
Perhaps it’s a bit too early to tell. I hit it off with a lot of people but somewhere along the way, things aren’t always sunny.

Oh by the way, my best friend Eddy is not only engaged. He is getting married on the 8th of August and where is my invitation card?

Yeah, thanks buddy… remind me not to invite you to mine, ok?

I just don’t get it.

Men.

When they are single and seriously in need of deodorant, they stick to you like part of your liver.

And then when they hooked up with someone, they rarely call and conveniently forget to invite you to their wedding!

I am seriously hurt. This is the guy i spent almost the entire 2005 with. We hiked, we squashed, we had coffee at Coffee Bean, and the song “New York, New York” reminded him of me.

I love him (not the way i love Arif, mind you). I might not call often but that doesn’t mean he’s far from my thoughts.

I wonder what gives?

*sigh*
