---oOOo---
Still don’t understand? Here’s an example:
Venue: My home, bedroom, on my bed
Time: Wednesday night
Event: Messager-ing with Friend A using my laptop, HP Pavilion dv600 aka The Rock
(This is not the exact conversation as I don’t have the history… …)
(Warning: use of Singlish)
(Words in bracket and
italic are some explanation or my thoughts)
Me: Hello, can I be busybody and ask you something? You can say no one (
See, I’m so considerate…)
A: I think I know what you want to ask
(
Really? Oh, he knows me so well?!? Touched, yeah right)
(
Then we went on to talk about my display picture… Trying to divert me away the topic? Hehex, not so easy… …)Me: So you want to tell me?
A: Don’t want la. I shy
Me: Don’t divert away leh… (
Wait… did he just say that he’s shy?!?) I puke
A: Haha. Who do you think is that person? (
And he made a few references to the word “she”… … Which seems unrelated to the topic I planned to ask…)
Me: Hmm… are we talking about the same thing?
A: I think we are (
I see, so full of confident, as usual =.=) If not then better
Me: I’m asking about what happen between you and the you- know- who…
A: Who is you- know- who
Me: XXXXXXXXX (
confidential information) Do I need to spell out?
(
At this point, I went to re- read our conversation thus far… … realization drawn to me… …)
Me: O.M.G. You thought I’m interested in your love life?!? (
Kami, save me)
A: Haha
Me: Please say no
A: No. Haha
A: But you sound like you are asking about it ma
Me: I thought I was very obvious that I was asking about XXXXXXXXX
A: You asked it in a deceiving way
Me: Where got, I was very obvious. More like someone want to tell me about his love life…
---oOOo---
Yes, this is what I call自爆料… I never knew that Friend A has someone in his… erm heart until that night… I never got to know who is that unluckily girl…
