Song: Gavin DeGraw - Just FriendsRubbish conversation with bro, #3
He: Is it gonna rain?
I: Yup
He: Is it gonna rain from now on?I: Yea
He: How am I gonna get a tan?
I: How am
I gonna get a tan.
He: Add 9 to 1 and you'll get ten.
I think the conversations we have is enough for me to write a Book of Lameness, and it'd be just filled with everything he says. I wonder if there'll actually be people reading it though.
Anyway, there's this creepy neighbour living in the same block as I am. Not on the same level but we share the lift on my level. (The lift we have doesn't stop at every level.) He's an old man, about 70ish years of age. He has a mixture of grey and white hair on his head. And, he always walks about in this pyjamas set (normally white in colour with faint stripes). And he's always cheery.
Okay he's not psychotic. I know the picture I'm painting of him sounds a bit like he's got a screw loose somewhere, and is this eerie stalker around the neighbourhood. No, he isn't. He's nice. He's just… odd, to me.
There was this once when my brother and I were out, and we just came back. When we were downstairs, walking towards the lift, he saw us. Upon recognising my brother, he began waving enthusiastically with this megawatt smile on his face, saying hi to my brother. My bro just said hi back, and then we continued walking.
I: Who's he?
He: I don't know.
I: Huh?
He: I don't know him but he always says hi to me.
I: Err... he looked extremely happy to see you.
Okay, so friendly neighbour tactics. :p Just yesterday, when I was coming home, he was waiting for the lift as well. When he saw me, he flaunted this wide smile. I just smiled back, wondering if he does actually know me. But you know, there's difference in smiles when you're smiling to someone you know, and when you're smiling cos you're just trying to be courteous. And that was definitely the former. So it was slightly weird.
And to further prove my point that he's a nice guy, when we reached my level, I was waiting for him to walk out of the lift before I did. However, to my astonishment (lol this is mean. Why should I be astonished?), he stretched his arm and invited me out of the lift first before he walked out of it.
A Chinese 70ish old man, mind you. I don't see that happening around in Singapore
much now. Nice guy eh?
I think my granny talks to him occasionally. I remember vaguely, my granny telling me they met at market and he offered to help her carry all her groceries back, and he did. He just tries to spend his time away for the lack of activities he can do but at least he does it gentlemanly. And healthily cos he walks to the market like a million times a day.
A very nice guy. Just a bit creepy cos I still don't know who he is.
And
no, sparks will not fly between him and my granny. I bet you were thinking of that.

Sometimes when I'm outside, these elderly will smile at you one la. Not like other ppl. Sighs. Sad ehs??
And Huang!! That 'Rubbish conversation' you had with ur bro. It's so rubbishy!! Goodness.

Hmmms. Maybe you guys SHOULD come up with a book of LAMENESS. And add Wan Ting's lameness inside too! Like 'talking thru your lungs?!' (chi: fei4 hua4)
Yeah. I'll buy it! Lolx.
Know why? Cos it's soooo lame it makes me laugh! So when i'm feeling down or sth, i'll resort to reading the lameness=)) -grins-
