Hot in the City

Thanks to Travelnutz's gf's bf, Martin, who's a DJ, he introduced me to his last single guy friend on earth, a guy who works as an Educator at L'Oreal (that's what his namecard says).

Talking about namecards, what's with people here that give out their namecards with 2 hands? It's very china-man. I want to laugh whenever someone does that.

Before I proceed on my description of my rendezvous, let me tell you that I finally drove to Orchard Road and ventured into one of the Multi-storey Car Park. I thought that for most car parks, I had to insert the cash card into the slot at the side of the gantry. However, nothing happened when I inserted the card. I drove a little forward and still the gate didn't barge. I reversed a little and inserted the card again. Still the gate remained down. Then suddenly, this voice came out from the slot and this lady said 'Put your cash card into your car card-reader'. I was like 'woh!'. I did that and the gate rose. Hmm, that was embarassing but hey, it was my first time!

Anyway, back to the L'Oreal guy. Let's call him Hair. Hair was already there when I arrived and he gave me a box of chocolates. How sweet! Bare in mind we haven't even met before! He offered to buy me coffee (nice again!). So far so good. He talked about his hair salon days in Beijing, where he met my gf's gf's bf who was a DJ in one the the popular clubs then. He also talked about how he loves to go to Hong Kong for shopping. He makes a trip there every year and to Shenzhen too. He even offered to go with me if I go there this year (I didn't take that seriously). We also talked about the L'Oreal products and how he does his job.

The funny thing was there was a show across the street on L'oreal products so he suggested we go and take a look. It's one of those product shows that we never go because we think the sales people would force us to buy the products. Anyway, he asked whether I do treatment at home. I said no. LOL! I guess that could have been the killer. Perhaps my hair looked like straw to him. LOL!

It was awkward before we parted. I told him I wanted to do some shopping and I had that feeling that he wanted to come with me. But I told him that I preferred to shop alone so he made his way home.

He's a nice guy and I really don't mind going out with him again but I think he finds that my hair is not healthy enough. I haven't heard from him since then.
