Phonelist

Ever scroll down your phone list and scan through every name before? If you do you will realize that maybe around more than half of the numbers are which you will never dial. Neither will they appear in your received calls list.

So where do these numbers come from? For my experience, I will narrate them in a play as below.

XX: Hey! Yifan! OMG! Really long time no see you! How have you been doing? OMG!
You look much older than last time I saw you! (Editor note: NNB, can’t you use
Better and Nicer words like MATURE?)

Me: Yah! Hi! Really been a long time. I am currently schooling at XXXX school now.
How about you?

XX: Oh, I see. I am currently working/schooling/NS at XXXX now. Really jialat man!
You leh? Still the old self? Must be lah…enjoy enjoy here there only right..

Me: Haha..yah lor..like that lor…haha…….

*pause for a moment and pretends to look elsewhere but are actually thinking what to continue to say for both parties

Either XX or me: Hey! I got to rush now. Got something on. Let’s exchange contact number. We really should come out for coffee sometimes.

* Exchange numbers and then disappears for the rest of life.

Is that roughly the same scenario you have? Haha..don’t worry about that. Mostly these people are the hi-bye friends you used to have. I think most of which you were close to before may send those goodnight/ good morning/ good day Sms to you regularly. Yah. Thats all only. They still will not call you out one. And neither would you.

Another common scenario is this:

Mr X: Hey! Miss Y! Wah…long time no see..you become PRETTIER liao… (Editor
Note: Remember! Use the word PRETTIER. If you use pretty, it means she used
To be ugly in the past. This first statement may be enough to let her hate you for
The rest of your life. Don’t ask me why. I also don’t know. I always think that
Women are harder to comprehend than the mystery of the universe.)

Miss Y: Oh! Thanks! (thinks to herself: ‘YAH! YAH! YAH! Prettier than before!!! YES!
YES! YES!) How have you been doing?

Mr X : hefjff efjefof efjefgogopjejif efhefeieof..blah blah blah….like that lor..you?

Miss Y : wiojdwiwd efjefe efjeoww iiiwwdf blah blah blah….like that lor hahaha..

* exchanges contact and if guy do takes the first step to call her afterwards, chances are that they will be closer and closer and eventually become closest and live happily ever after.

Don’t tell me that is not true for I have heard countless stories of whoever have lost contact with each other but met somehow and become a pair of butterflies. But I also don’t know why such romantic stories never happen to me. Maybe I am only meant for horror stories. (NNB..God…can’t you sometimes arrange something nice for me for a change???)

But to be honest, its really a nice and warm feeling to meet some of your old friends on the street. A bit of chit-chat here and there will leave a familiar old feeling in you and that should make your day. Also I have a confession to make too. I am also one of those who will not make the 1st step to call an old friend. AND… I think you are one too. Don’t DENY.






The only problems that can never be solved are those which you chose to run away from.

That's true. I have a lot of Hi-Bye friends only my handphone too. But I guess it's just a way of keeping in contact and keeping the relationship going.

At least even if it's just Hi and Bye, you both are still friends.
