Scammers Reunite

08-08-2006. Met up with our S.O.S (aka Sisters of Scam/ Shit) with my B.O.S (aka Bra of Shit) @ Orchard. It's a miracle the 4 of us finally get to meet up since we parted ways in Sa Pa some 2 and a half months ago. While Cheng Yao had been BZ with orientation, tuition, gathering, Yuqing and Peili were tied down with work. Myself, I didn't even have time to blog, much less meeting up for dinner, when I was not travelling, most of my time was spent on late night OT/ boozing in APB with my new "colleague cum long time Bball Buddy" Joshua.

Well was really expectant for this gathering, cause I heard Peili mentioned something about a souvenir for me and Cheng Yao that our S.O.S got for us in China, and of course we miss our S.O.S too. Supposed to meet up with OPL at Orchard MRT station at 7pm, too bad I got the msg late, and as a result, turned up late at Orchard MRT station @ 7.15pm. Saw nobody, and as I waited n waited, and Cheng Yao eventually showed up @ 7.30pm and still no sign of that Lady.. Finally at 7.45pm, received a sms that read, " I guess I'll see u guys at 8.30pm." SCAMMED (no. 01)

8.30pm, supposed to meet up with both S.O.S at Topshop, again no signs of either 1 of them. SCAMMED (no. 02) Tried to ACT SMART, went to the sales counter to ask to make an appointment with the "Image Stylist", thinking I can spring a "surprise" on our apparently-working-late-and-definitely-LATE S.O.S, only to be get ambushed from behind. Guessed I made a fool of myself in front of the salescounter girl. Worst still, found out that we were again scammed when I saw Yuqing. We originally agreed on a Red-White theme to commemorate National Day (I still got that MSN msg log to prove it), but our dear S.O.S was dressed in a Brown top and White pants. SCAMMED (no. 03) again!@##$% (Prior to this gathering I suggested that every1 dressing in Red-White theme, so as to commerate the Nation's birthday. GLK = Patrotic Sgporean ok!) Can anyone tell me where is the brown in Sg's flag?! (unless u think that Mr Brown is a national icon)

Cut short the story, it's getting late nw... Here's our Pretty faces...

Name: Yuqing (aka S.O.S)

OPL, stop trying to hide behind the newspaper!!

Name: Peili (the Life story session facilitator)

Skill Level: Advanced (the one who came out with the Ultimate Scam, the "Lesbian" scam, but it was from her slip-of-tongues which let the cat out of the bag.)

Fav tagline: "U r dead!"

Me and Cheng Yao trying to pull out a SCAM on Yuqing.

Supposed to make Yuqing feel "deeply" touched by telling her Cheng Yao went all the way to Bangkok to get her the "Music is my Business" t-shirt. Trying to create a scandal, too bad the girls did not catch on to it...

Smilez, one last photo. Till we meet again in 08 August 2008.

In the end I need to say this, thanks for the dinner treat Peili, and all the best to you girls till our paths cross again. You gals had been really really Gr8 travelling mates, n thanks to you we had an unbelieveably wonderful time backpacking around S.E.Asia n learnt a great lesson in life: always take what others tell you with a pinch of salt. Make observation and discern the truth for yourself, as scammers are just about everywhere.

To Cheng Yao, Myself Pei Li (the singles): We will all find a great partner someday, meanwhile let's enjoy the freedom of singlehood and the friendships and strive to give the best to our work/ studies!! Gan Ba Teh (",)
