"Hm... Was it when I bumped into you sometime ago at Lane Crawford...?"
"Oh man, I haven't heard anyone say 'Lane Crawford' in a while. But yah, that was a long time ago! I was still dating Sarah then, right? You were with... your sister, right?"
"I can't quite remember already. So how have you been?"
"Great! I'm doing great! Tony, my eldest, is going to Primary School next year, so Sarah and I have been busy volunteering at the school... you know... to secure the place. No joke one I tell you. Then Joni just recovered from flu. So poor thing to see the little girl sick. Just breaks your heart. How about you? How many have you got?"
"Oh no, none for me please. I'm still single. See, no ring!"
"Oh no... why are you still single? Don't tell me you're still hung up over me?"
"No no, I have been seeing people, you know. Very, very eligible men, trust me. They're definitely much more eligible than you... Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't know why I said that."
"Relax relax. I was just joking. If they're so eligible, then what's wrong with you? Still so hard to please? Must be so picky meh?"
"No lar... I don't know. Maybe they're just not very interesting, or as my friends say, I'm just can't be bothered lor. Maybe I am just so happy being single, after all."
"If they can't even interest you, then they can't be that eligible, right?"
"Well, erm... well, maybe you're right lar."
"Well, I gotta go. Meeting Sarah at the Forum. Gotta control her spending on the kids' clothes. Those stuff not cheap you know! Like a simple tee-shirt can cost a hundred bucks. Crazy right? Branded stuff lar, granted, but still don't need to sell so ex right?"
"Right, right. You go ahead. I'm headed this way. Take care."
"You take care too. Faster go look for somebody ah! Don't waste time liao leh! Women old will lose value, and have babies also dangerous lor. Your number no change right? Okay, okay, I'll call you sometime, and let's catch up properly. Maybe can give you some advice. Okay, I really gotta rush. Bye!"

That night she lost sleep, because she deeply regretted not telling him off.
In the next week, she hunted him down over facebook. After much consideration, she sent him a message saying, "Married with kids, so what? BIG FUCK lah? You have no right to make me feel like SHIT lor, right? We've broken up for so long liao and I don't understand why you must still torture me like that? FUCK YOU, okay?" with the caps and all.

Two months later, she messaged him again, "Thanks for last night. ;) "
