Clandestine Messages and Whatnot
Hehe. Now that I know about it, I guess I should have seen it coming but I just never gave it much thought. ET accidentally sent a clandestine/furtive/surreptitious (I just love Microsoft Word's thesaurus :) message to my MSN window last night. It was about somebody who would never "accept".
The palpable , arrant tang of a secret filled my nostrils. A chain of thoughts instantaneously came tumbling through my mind. ET? - "Accept"? - A crush! - Who? - Liz? - Ask him. So I did :P It took nearly an hour before I found that I was right; it is Liz he is harbouring affection for.
I was sworn to secrecy by Yan Yee, who was really the one who told me. I believe she is the one that clandestine message was originally meant for. I feel a bit bad that I pried so much, especially since I never keep secrets like this from Liz or Cow, despite all the vows. In fact I've already told them both :/
"Just kill me now."
But anyway, I don't think this crush will go anywhere because:
A) ET has just broken up with Sharon of four years and it would (surely?) take him longer to get over something like that.
B) He and Liz could never... I know her too well :)
C) He knows it; he said as much himself.
D) They are too much like good friends.
The good thing is that he knows all this. I vaguely wondered if I should discourage him from trying or something, at first. Goodness it sounds really appalling of me, but I didn't want him to try, then get hurt or anything all the while knowing that I could have said something to prevent it...
Perhaps I assume too much. Liz could always adopt a sudden, severe change of taste in guys. (Though it really does not seem very possible.) She could always unknowingly develop a profound affection for bespectacled, 46kg, long-haired college boys whose ambition is to hunt ghosts... OK, probably not.
But I really must keep my tongue to myself when it comes to situations like this in future. Realising now how much damage I might have caused their friendship is a scary thought. Never never never again...
Liz has promised to help take care of Marcus while he is at C.F. Camp, and she will get ET to help too. This has taken quite a load off my back :) I'll miss the little weirdo while he's away. I only hope he'll come back having learnt something and wanting to go again.
Kuok Pin is absurdly hard to contact, even though he has two different handphone numbers. Either one is always unavailable and the other is forever unanswered, no matter how long I keep the dial-tone going. Ugh. Messaging him is just as useless, if not more so. His inbox is either always full or his phone is turned off.
So, it turned out that we couldn't go to FGA, KL today to submit his form because his mum couldn't drive us there. I'd thought he'd be the one driving at first, and when I knew that his mum was actually the one who was going to drive us there, I felt quite bad. I would never have suggested anything of the sort if I'd known. I even asked Cow if he'd like to tag along today! What would his mum have said?!
We might be going tomorrow, but it looks pretty unpromising. "Hope did not exactly spring eternal in my heart, but it crowhopped." But there's not much crowhopping here, not to mention eternal hope. Blah. See how lah, only God can make a way now, I'm sure.
Mum wasn't happy with me this morning and she might not be now either, for the same reasons. I think I'd better go down and see if my services are needed.
Toodalay, toodalah, toodaloo, everybody :)
Haha, what "everybody"?
