take that true blood.

so. this isn't supposed to be funny, because well, i don't do well with writing humor, usually falls flat on my face (like people relating cha cha to be an uncle when actually i was talking about my vagina). but anyhow.

about a year after i shifted to singapore, i had gone out to a club, i think it was china one, with a couple of my friends. it was nice, fun, me being me, standing at the bar with my drink, self consciously just shifting around, trying to imitate a dance (obviously i hadn't had enough to drink, and im sure those who know me would vouch that this is how all my nights begin, but never end. i digress). this guy comes up to me, im guessing he was malay, and tried to chat me up. he wasn't my type from first glance, but i can appreciate the effort. its not easy to just go up to a stranger at a bar and talk to them, i get that, and he didn't seem creepy, so i just very politely told him im from India when he asked me, and said i enjoyed china one when he asked me, and told him no im a student when he asked me. and three questions in, he came in really close to my face and said, in the most seductive (read: fucking creepy!) way he could have possibly gathered "i wish you were a vampire" and then turned around sharply and walked away.

needless to say i was a little rattled, not really sure if i should feel secure that im not, or to to carry a clove of garlic on my way home.

i never saw the guy again. thankfully.

a couple of days ago, i was browsing the sales at GAP (holler for sales), and i ask this (obviously gay) chinese sales assistant if they had the shirt i wanted in red. he very sweetly asked me if i'd wait until he got a piece from the storage, and i hung around looking at other stuff i was too poor to buy. when he came back with the red piece, already sure of my size, i just held it against me and looked into the mirror, with the (gay) sales assistant behind me. looking at my reflection approvingly, he says, with his hips tilted forward, and that right foot out, knee bent, and hands on hips, "da red soot yu. yu luk like vampire lah hahahahahahaha!"

jesus.

this shit is too weird for me.
