Stalker Alert
It's only a good thing to happen if a girl is stalking on me but in this case,
sadly, it's a guy. Well, it's not the 1st time anyway. Still remembers how Ronald introduces himself that time...
I didn't realise it till we actually spoke. I was even wondering if I really saw this guy from somewhere but my usual acute memory voided that. My first impression of him is his almost regular visits to the shop but not buying anything at all. He seemed to be looking for something in the plush toy corner. Or trying to steal something. He was wearing an orange uniform which kinda indicated that he was working somewhere near or inside Heartland Mall. Finally, I decided to interact with him.
Firstly.....he asked if I recognised him. I said nope. He asked if I remembered dueling with a guy using Jann Lee in Dead or Alive 3 during a GameAxis event in Sitex long ago. Sitex...yup. GameAxis tournament...yeah. Dueling with him....I don't remember. Maybe I did but that scenario occured like 2 years back? He remembered me....a total stranger from 2 years back. A person that he saw for maybe just 5 minutes? What's even better if that he started to introduce himself. Then he started to do small talk with me about brawling in the game, various pointers and asking me about the Dead or Alive community in Singapore. And guess what...his reason of dropping by the shop several times previously was to make sure he didn't recognise the wrong person.
Deja vu...Well, I believed that it's his way of doing things or maybe he's a bit tensed up. He kept the conversation going even though at points, I was just flattering him. He even asked me where I stay, my favourite haunts and exchanging contacts. I was okay with it as his reason was to contact me for game outings at X-Square. From his declaration
( Yup...he WAS introducing himself...), he is waiting for his O level results but frankly speaking, his build and looks make him look older than his actual age. Eventually, he kept coming to the shop during every lunch and dinner possible to chat with me...
We actually arranged for a session at X-Square on Monday which I didn't go in the end. I did give him my word of coming but I was so occupied with the Lunar preparations that I can't go. Well, it doesn't hurt to learn a new friend anyway although his approach may be a bit unusual.
Strangely, I don't see him coming to the shop after that anymore. I've been to his working place and he wasn't around. I was wondering if my action caused his absence but then it wasn't much critical anyway. But I gonna treat him if I had time for a session in future to make up for it.
