Flashbacks of Hook-Ups

Everyone who had been to study in universities or colleges must have surely been smitten by at least one person from the opposite sex. On whether do you ever hook up with that person or not is a different story. I too had my share of romantic escapades while in college. The best part of everything is that even the relationship didn’t work out fine after some time, I still can manage to look behind and smile and laugh at all those things that I did.

Being single was never a big issue when I first went over to Sungai Petani 5 years back. I was fresh outta school and relationships didn’t stand as a priority. Nope. My priority was to blow smoke like a chimney and get wasted whenever I got the chance since I was 300km away from my hometown. Oh yeah, I also wanted to study once in a while.

During those days, the group was never about looking for girls to settle down with. All we wanted is to impress those girls; to show that we were macho; to show off our talents and walk away coolly. Hormonal imbalance, you might say. We showed off our skills in football; sat in roadside stalls hunting for preys like the damn vultures we are. Yup. Vultures. By and by, some of my friends had found their dream girls and settled down for committment (at age 18).

After we all passed our foundation studies and came back for our degree courses, things were much more different. Everyone was looking for a female partner. Including me. I found a girl I liked and courted her for quite some time, which after what seemed like an eternity, accepted the “proposal”. Soon enough, our close knit group of buddies were beginning to see less and less of each other. We usually sounded like this:

Me: Macha, so long never see you.

Friend: Yes, bro…. I’ve been, errrmmm, busy….. (Scratches head)

Me: hehehe.. me too (scratches balls)

Friend: So, when wanna go have a drink? Now got promotion. One large bottle only RM 9.50

Me: Dunno la… My girl wants me to spend more “quality” time with her…. Dunno what that means..

Friend: Hmmmm… funny… my girl also said that… She say she wanna sit with me and talk to each other… But she is the one who does all the talking…

Me: Hmmmmm…. (Still scratching balls)

Friend: (Phone rings, answers it) Ok sayang coming now… (Puts down the phone) Aisey.. she wanna go temple now… Have to bring her… (Still scratching head)

Me: Hmmmmm…. Ok la… I also must go buy food for my girl….

If you ever break up with your girl (i.e. got dumped), just like I did, you can always count on your buddies to bring you back on track. With alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol. Then they try to hook you up with other girls. That’s the best part. Whenever any girl walks past me, they point their finger at her and ask me “How’s this one? This one looks biasa only, but she got car” or “How about that? She looks horny, if you go out with her you can hump her every night.”

I opted to stay single for a while. By and by, many people tried to hook me up with many girls.

Me: Macha, that girl looks so damn beautiful la… I think I like her…

Guy Friend: Which one? That one ah?

Me: Ya… (drooling)

Guy Friend: (shouting at the top of his voice, allowing people within the vicinity to hear what he is saying) Hello… miss… hello… my friend likes you… Would you come here please?

Me: (mumbling under my breath) Die laaa….

Beautiful girl: (Staring from a distance, says something to her bunch of friends, all of them giggle uncontrollably)

Guy Friend: Macha, I don’t think she likes you… you’re hopeless…

Me: Kill me please…..

FYI, I DO know how to spend quality time with a woman… Don’t run away from me just coz I said that I didn’t know in the above text..
