The Date That Never Was...

plan A - go on date and have a nice time knowing the new guy.

plan B - stay home and regret for the loss chance.

well that pretty much what zu told me to do. now where do i even start....

kr wanted to introduce me to someone she knows from FB. it seems, they already had a conversation about me. when she told me about him, i was quite excited. i don't know much except, he's a divorcee with one kid working in london but hometown in canada. that's pretty much it.. and oh yeah.. he divorce wifey cuz she cheated, ohh and he 6ft 5'. well that part got me smiling ear to ear. hmm and oh yeah, kr emailed me couple of his pics and he's easy on the eye...

when kr brought the idea up to me, she been pretty much the cheerleader ever so enthusiastic to a point of making all sorts of arrangement and telling me what i need to do. when asked, wouldn't it be better if we were to introduce through FB, at least we can gauged and see if we *click*. noooo.. she said, its better if you meet in person and i'm sure both of you well get along, cuz he's the type that works and go home.. ohhh right already.. okkayyyy...

as the day get closer, she kept updating me about him that i became stress and slowly losing interest. especially when she kept insisting how i need to take him out and show him around town and we need to send him off to the airport.. i'm like huhhh.. hmmmphh...

i told her, lets play it by ear. just because you both get along, don't necessary him and i will. perhaps he has some other plan when he's here and like to venture out on his own. but kr insisted he knows no one except her. this is the point were i just decide to shut up and go with the flow.

so tonight (friday) we supposed to meet up for the first time, and guess what... of course plan got screwed up. accordingly he supposed to arrive on thursday noon, but it seem our boy brought too much cash beyond the allowed limit upon entering any country that he was detained on his stopover in the neighbourhood country. he called kr for bailout money, since he has not enough foreign currency. so my dear kr did what she was told and imagine the shocked i had when she told me the amount.

she updates me on his case, saying that they have spoken and the possibility he being send back to uk instead of continuing his journey here. it suddenly hits me, what if this guy is playing my dear kr for a scam, and i even told her that. but she insist his case was genuine cuz she spoke to the detaining officer. so throughout the day, she was so restless at the thought of our dear boy being detained and will only feel relieved once she get news that he's back home safely. now, for her sake i hope dude not scamming for it will be trouble.

something about this whole scenario don't sit well with me. first off, if you're intelligent and *rich* (according to her), why on earth you be strapping with more cash and claimed not to know the rules. i'm sure he's not a virgin traveller....hmmphh.. and for her sake i hope dude pays off..

i love kr like a sistere that i never have, and i know she meant well and i appreciates her thought and effort, but i guess its not meant to be for us to meet. maybe there's a blessing in disguise, as to God's will.

=:0)

ps: just been informed he left for uk...

UPDATE:

it was a scam. but for better news, kr did not transfer any money out and i'm glad to hear that. i guess in all the chaos that was going on thursday, she miss out certain details to me. said she spoke to a friend in kl and was warned not to do so. when i told her that it was a scam for some reason she still seems defensive.. oh well. glad its all over...
