Reciprocate

'The usual, just one, the rest would make their order when they arrive.' I told eddy. He is a nice chap , smooth with his bar-tending and always engages his clients amicably.

'Here you go boss ' Eddy said after he sat the drink on the coaster in front of me.'Enjoy it=)'

'Thanks man' I said as I reached for my wallet' here you go '

'Oh,the tab has already been taken,by that lady over there' eddy ended of with a wink as he proceed to mix his next drink.'cheers mate'.

Strange,firstly, I've never been offered a drink by a woman before and I'm pretty sure I haven't engaged with any woman in the bar yet. The first thought that came to my mind was that eddy probably misunderstood the lady and gave the drink to the wrong guy. That wasn't the case when I lock on to a pair of eyes looking straight back at me.

Stage 1, an act of interest.

Stage 2, reciprocating act of interest.

Stage 3, approach.

It didn't took long for free drink lady to strut over after we exchanged smiles. She looks like a mix and judging from her build, I'm guessing she'll be in the modeling industry or making big bucks using the assets she possessed.

'Hey there' free drink lady said' I've seen you around this place often, I'm Hayley. '

'Thanks for the drink, I'm obligated, my name is Jaycee ' I replied, a little flabbergasted by her approach.

There was quite an awkward pause when all she did was smile at me and I'm feeling an inner vixen in her waiting to pounce on me. I've seen girls like that approach my mates and all, they have been known to be very domineering and initiated. They are normally cougars(term we give for slighter older woman) and their attention don't often last long. Well, this one fits the characteristics given to me from my mate's compilations just that she doesn't look close to a cougar to me. She'd probably just pass off slightly older then myself.

We went on with some light conversation over stuffs and more introductions. I began to loosen up and thought that I could use her for company while waiting for the mates who seem to be suffering from chronic lateness.

'So what are you doing after this? ' she popped that question haphazardly .

'I'm waiting for my mates to join me , for dinner. They're always this late for our meet ups.'

'Oh, why not you tell them that you're joining them for dinner, and we head to somewhere else' she said that as she closed in and held my hand. 'Its a little crowded and noisy here'

I was astounded from her advances, changing the mood of an innocent conversation. Well, I was probably naive then ,how innocent can the conversation get right, with such approaches.

'I don't think that would be possible , my mates are arriving soon' I pushed away ' I'm sorry'

Then Hayley saw that ring on my finger.

'Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you're attached' she said.

'Yea, its OK , I'm cool '

Things were feeling extremely awkward at this point of time now.

'You know' Hayley said as she leans over to whisper into my ear' she is one lucky girl'

I smiled upon hearing that.She left me after a friendly peck on the cheek and i watch her sauntered to the exit.

'You can't blame her for taking such initiative' eddy said while cleaning up the cups 'She used to be with a guy and you look very much like that fellow. Words say that he died in a car accident. Sad life I'd say, she probably still haven't gotten over him. '

Its melodramatic. I felt sorry for her . I was wondering if I could be the person to ease her pain even if its just a delusion.Probably, I shouldn't even have been appearing in front of her all this time.

My wants..

Its said that we can never be satisfied with what we have, from basic needs to luxury items, men have always been pursuing the better lot.. Just take the stock markets for example, it just a reflection on how we are,the characteristics on how the market rotates around the various sectors, from commodities to necessities you'll always see those chart point upwards.

Just how much more do we actually need to be satisfied?A question was raised to an evangelist for Microsoft during a seminar that sat my ass in.The latter asked,"when will windows stop upgrading ?Its hard to keep up with the different versions every year!". Then he replied "That's simple,we'll stop when we receive no complains on the OS itself " . IMO, i don't see such a day coming at all.

So, while spending yet another unproductive day , I decided that I should come out with a list of my short term needs , so as justify for not doing anything at all for the whole day.Its more for my own reference in the future and you could probably refer to it and see similar wants . If that's so , we could discuss about that item in hope of getting something better out of it.=D

Share the roads, be the better person~

The news of yet another cyclist being killed on the roads made me shudder as I zipped down the roads today. Though I'm cycling on a less frequent basis, I'm still very affected by this rise in numbers of accidents involving cyclist. Many of times I see is due to ignorant motorist and probably some very selfish individuals who refused to share the roads.


I wouldn't want to start taking stands between the motorist and the cyclist(least because I'm in the midst of getting my driving license XD), I believe we're all human and either of us would make errors and have the choice to be selfish or not while on the roads.

While cycling back from sentosa today, I witnessed yet another road rage that could turn ugly . This time it was between this female driver and this two other cyclist along the opposite traffic. Car was begrudged to give way, cyclist squeeze through, car deliberately cut in to squeeze the cyclist off the tracks , cyclist got pissed over takes the car from the right and screamed at the driver while displaying the third finger, driver let loose a clamorous wail on the horn just before I lost sight of the drama.

I feel utterly disappointed by how the cyclist reacted to the situation but I thought that I might just behaved the same when it comes to my own safety.Well,in any case, I thought that maybe , cycling just got a little more risky thanks to people like these. However, I contemplate that I'll be wrong and with this most recent road kill , be a turning point for people to improve on road safety. So people that might be reading my blog and if you happened to be drivers , PLEASE , try to be nice while on the road and give in to the people that is utilising a more eco friendly means of transport . Do the right thing, make a difference=)



After all, you don't wanna see this face appear on the newspaper right?
