I’m a real social recluse by today’s expectation of youths. On the day Made of Honor‘s Special Screening was due, I texted Josh who promised to help arrange my transport. He replied that his partner, Daniel, will fetch me since Daniel lives in the same city as I do.
Okay, Daniel, it shall be. I had class from 2 to 7 that day and only managed to give Josh a buzz in between.
I got a message around 7:15pm. “Hello. This is Daniel Tan……”
Ah… there goes… *press keys to reply*
About 20 minutes later… another message came.
“Yvonne, I am here…..”
Yvonne trots down the stairs. If you’ve been to Segi College in Subang Jaya, notice that the flight of stairs from ground floor up has a magnificent twist. As if descending the castle stairs in Beauty and the Beast. So, down I went, lugging my laptop one step at a time, paying close attention to my steps, careful so as not to too lose balance, I finally reached the bottom to greet a pair of sneakers.
I looked up and it crossed my mind. “Josh sent me a film star butler?’ Odd.
Later in the car, I cracked my skull while repeating his name. ‘Daniel…Daniel…’ So familiar wan? Pelik. *checks phone” Daniel TAN? Even more familar. Daniel Tan… Daniel Tan… aiya nevermind
Whoever this Daniel Tan is, he still makes a new friend.
………………..fastforward……..
For fear of gastric pain, I grabbed a bite at OldTown Coffee on my own Everyone was already seated when I entered the cinema. It was pitch dark.
“Buzzz Buzzz* *Checks phone*
Daniel Tan SMS-ed. “Are you hungry yet?”
Mmmm I ate a little. But yeah, I’m still hungry. Let’s see what else he said.
“Are you hungry yet? Your food is with me. Where are you sitting?”
Yay! Got food! I am sitting on the right, fourth row from the top
Daniel came ’round two minutes later, looking funny as he struggled to make sure the person he found was Yvonne Foong.
He crouched. “Do you eat beef?”
…….fastfoward……
I went through old messages to clear up some space when I read that message again. “Are you hungry yet?…”
Yvonne texts Daniel
“Daniel. Do you have younger siblings?”
“Ya. A sister. Why?”
Yvonne Foong, escorted to a film by a beefcake butler. Sizzling.
So the “hungry” SMS was sent to you by mistake?
lol. I saw you at Made Of Honor screening at TGV.. but didnt nudge u coz erm.. xD. heh
Ah…I know, you want to set me up with Daniel’s sister izzit? She must own Lexus…and keys to the house!
Giant Sotong: SMS was sent to the right person. It was his brotherly way of asking that made me curious Normally, people would ask, ‘Hey, where are you?’ or ‘Your food’s with me’.
Shaun: Why no nudge me? So many people waiting outside. I am not good at mingling.
cooknengr: I bet Daniel cares for her so well, she don’t wanna leave his side lah.
Handsome Daniel Tan should be congratulated – making time to provide transport and thoughtful enough to provide food as well. Good man.
