BACK TO MEMORY LANE - PART 3

The Math class in Part 2 marked the beginning of my 'nightmare'. Yes, I said nightmare. Because B became the favourite topic of my friends, namely S, M and C.

For a start, let me introduce these 3 beautiful angels a.k.a little devils.

S, as you know it, was in the Math class together with me. She's not only a coursemate to me, she's also my roommate - meaning that we spent ALL day and night together. So whatever that happens, she would know! ;P

M and C were my coursemates, and I spent every single weekends with them. This is because I'm not local and so is C. On weekends, most people would go home, but we can't because our homes are far away. So the next best option is M's home! ;> Hehehee... We spent the weekends doing all the girlie stuffs, stereo on full blast, getting crazy, etc. And it definitely helps that M's parents are cool - even though they do make sure that we behave sometimes. Hehehee...

Well, the 4 of us were practically inseparable. We sat together in classes, formed assignment groups, hang out in between classes, meals together, etc. In short, we shared a lot together.

Now back to my 'nightmare'. S was so 'excited' with what had just happened that she just had to tell M and C every single details that very same day. I realized that something was not right when M and C started giggling for no good reason. And I was like "You... When on earth did you find the time to tell them? I thought I'm always there!" Since then, everybody never stopped teasing me about it.

To make matters worse, M sees B on-line via the ICQ every now and then. My name eventually became part of the topics somehow. ;P Then M started telling me that B thinks that I'm cute and that he'd like to get to know me better and whatsoever, I wonder whether she added her own spices in the stories! ;P And of course, C and S knew too.

Since then, whenever B appeared, all 3 devils would go "Your friend, look, your friend!" and at the same time, waving and saying 'hi' to him - even when he's afar. B would happily return the gesture and that never failed to get to me. And they enjoyed every single minute of it each time. How I hate them, little rats! ;P

To be frank, B is not exactly my dream guy. [Sorry, darling...] You know, being young, we target for good looks, attitudes, etc - don't tell me that you don't! ;P So B doesn't really fit into that 'category', but that doesn't mean that he's not good - or else, I wouldn't be marrying him eventually.

Anyway, because B didn't fit the 'category' at that time, I did all that I could making sure that I do not give him the wrong idea. Hehehee... That includes any potential social contact! And this was how life went on for the rest of the year. Hehehee...

SALE ???

There is this particular shop that I must really mention, selling rosewood furnitures. The business is barely surviving, but it is still there after so long - I suppose a couple of years or maybe longer!

The reasons why it's not doing so well :
1. Location - the shoplot area is not well populated and rather secluded
2. Too pricey
3. Shop is hot and humid - air conditioning is only switched on when customer walks in (goodness...)

I drive pass the shop quite often and I always make it a point to just look inside to see whether there's customers. 99% of the time is nil.

Then one fine day, came up a signage ''Stock Clearance Sale''. You start seeing customers in there every now and then. And it ended. Looked inside, not much sold. ;P

A couple of months passed, another signage came up. "Moving Out Sale". Call me bad, but I was thinking : "Very well, you're finally giving up on this non-profitable business. Good that you realized that soon enough." I mean, c'mon... Why hang on to a business that is not working? It's a waste of fund, time and effort. Renting a shoplot is never cheap. Even if the shoplot is self-owned, hiring of workers still eats up the bank account. Yes, you guessed it right. I have not seen the owners before. There are only 2 foreign workers looking after the place - provided if they are the 'owners'. Anyway, again, nothing much moved. ;P

However, that's not the end of the story. I thought it is, it's supposed to be... 'Cus there was the 'Moving Out Sale'. But believe it or not, they never moved away, they're still there! Everything was in the exact condition as before, nothing's changed.

And yesterday, there's a new signage at the shop "Mid Year Sale"! ;D What the... Hehehee...

So now, hubby and I are anticipating for "Year End Sale" to appear. And maybe later "New Year Sale", "Mega Sale", etc... ;P Hehehee...
