Title: Have you ever...
Post by: genec on September 14, 2011, 02:46:33 PM
Been raining whole day, nothing else to do.
Why not start a new thread!

below is a true story  :D
I was on a first date, and had a new purchase on my wrist.
Big mistake!
Throughout dinner, I was looking at my watch every other minute. Admiring the lum.
Pissed her off big time! Thought I was more interested in the watch than her!
Later that night, was told not to call her anymore.....  :Blue:


Have this ever happen to you?
Have you been caught looking at your watch when you shouldn't?
Have you been checking out your watch during those boring Monday morning meetings wishing it was Friday?
Please share... I think there should be a medical condition for this. OWD
Obsessive watch-admiring disorder. Hehe  ;D

Bro, it depends on the so called "Date", for real or for fun?

For Real relationship that hoping to develop, then you should not keep checking yr watch

For Fun, then dont border, cause she only interested in yr $$$, just kao tim and cabut  ;D

Just my 22 cents

if my "date" look better than my watch and can see lots of assets, i won't bother looking at my watch then....

if the date was not worth your look more than your watch then it's no loss la...  :thumbsup:

You spend RM15k+ for a rolex as opposed to RM500+ on first date. Tell me who deserves your attention more.. :Laughing_on_floor:

I would only look and caress my watch after I have looked and caressed my date throughly and does not find that it is worth my time and effort to continue.  :laugh:

actually, i think what happen is that she thought you found her ugly/boring and kept looking at the time because you wanted to run for it.

BTW, was she really that bad looking???
Title: Re: Have you ever...
Post by: peanut on September 14, 2011, 07:56:48 PM
Or you could be gay!  :o

Seriously, why would you go on a date and do that? It would be better just fondling your watch at home.  ;D
Title: Re: Have you ever...
Post by: genec on September 14, 2011, 08:08:03 PM
All right, is is getting a little out of hand with some name callings....

I did mentioned it was a new purchase, I had it for probably less than a week...So was still very excited with it...
I didn't ask for an analysis of what went wrong
This thread is mainly to see if others have similar (silly if I may add) experience...

No offense taken....so far  :Cheers:

It happen to me but not so dramatic.

Actually I was on a date (mot the first) and had a new purchase on my wrist.
Was admiring her (the watch) throughout dinner, and as I was looking at my watch every other minute (admiring the workmanship, reflection of lights off the bangle etc) my date asked "Are you rushing for time?" I said No. After a while, my date asked, " Do you think I am ugly or boring? You kept looking at the time as if you are rushing for our date to end."
Enough of fondling my watch, and planing to fondle other "assets". So my answer was "I was admiring the watch which is as beautiful as your face. You are not boring as I am often "dumb-stucked when in the presence of a beautiful gal like you and scared of saying the wrong thing. Last but not the least, I am not rushing for time, but worry that time may not be enough for our date to last". With that , my date sat closer to me and .........

Post by: Watchnewby on September 17, 2011, 10:16:24 PM
dpkong, genec, watchmanu & gmac, the story only has an anti-climax ending lah. Not nice to continue. Leave it open ended more FUN, let most members imagine wat would have happen, right?

Omnipotent - Good joke.
Nayo - it was another Swatch.

Just to "close" off the story " With that , my date sat closer to me and and I wrap my arms around her and we enjoyed each other company. Luckily for me, I used my left hand with the new Swatch, at least if I can enjoyed both "beauties" to my heart content."
(Any other thing, I will leave to the "Creative minds" of MWF members here.  ;D)

Ai ya, Bro siodee. Everyone of us has gone through this path before, right? - go out dating, if "ngam"(matching), then "chiak" become your life partner; if not "ngam", go for other dates till you find the right person.

Me writing story? No lah. I dun think I am suitable as a story writer. Just write based on my experience. I am sure, Bro siodee also have story to tell. Must set up a mini GTG and listen to yaor tales.   :laugh:   :laugh:
Title: Re: Have you ever...
Post by: Watchnewby on September 23, 2011, 12:44:54 PM
I have got another one.

Recently, while having a meal at a shopping mall with my wife, I could not help admiring the watch on a lady hand sitting beside our table and also the nice B&R watch on a man wrist sitting a table away behind my wife.
My wife was asking "Why are you admiring the women nest table and the man behind my back?"
I told her I was looking at their hands. And my wife asked, "Hand? What is so special about their hands? If you tell me the woman got nice shapely body or big  :mooning:, I can understand.
If you look at another man, I would have thought you are becoming a "Gay". Don't tell me you have a fetish for hands, ar?"
I told her I was admiring their watches. Period.

I've got one to add. I was shadowing a lawyer for my work experience and it just so happened that I'd bought a new watch the day before (cheap and cheerful Casio, but hey, it had personality  ;)).

We went to court and I sat in the gallery as only lawyers can sit past the bar. My pupil-master asked the judge if I could sit up front, a very nice gesture that he didn't need to make. Up I went, taking my place with great trepidation. 

Throughout the cross-examination, I kept nervously looking at my watch. After a while, the judge, who had noticed my behaviour, asked what was wrong. I was flabbergasted and turned mute.  It was the most awkward silence and luckily, my pupil master broke the ice and managed to pass it off as a joke (something about me being late for a date).

In any case, I was very lucky as the judge found it funny and laughed it off. I ended my mini-pupillage at the firm before the case had concluded but found out later on that the client had won. Who knows, maybe my fidgety ways went towards persuading the judge :D

All the best,

Gavin

Try this and see :
What the Home Ministry wants?
1) take care of the children/household when she is busy? - Can do, even to the extend be the transporter (like me) during Sat(sometimes Sun), clean up house, put children to sleep etc.
2) some time piece/jewelry/clothes? - can accomodate.
3) holiday? - plan around school holidays if children are schooling (any other day is OK if children not an issue)
4) driver? be the transporter and fetch her to the places that she want to go

I believe if one has done all he can do to please the Home Ministry, I do not see the visa/permit being approved.  ;D

Cheers.
