THE TROUBLE WITH BOYFRIENDS (OF MY GIRLFRIENDS, NOT MINE)

most of the thoughts in my mind currently evolve around the new job in dubai. but i don't think i want to write about that anymore... i don't think even i can stand reading about that anymore. so i'm goonna write about something else now... i'm going to tell you a story about my friend R (who is a girl, btw)and her boyfriend.

i met R when i did my matriculation in one of the mara colleges (which shall not be revealed or even described to maintain confidentiality... eheh). we were in the same class. she sat in front of me in class. she's pretty - curly hair, sharp features and all. u could easily mistake her for a product of malay + mat salleh parents (eventhough she is not - how she turned out the way she did is still beyond my comprehension). and she comes from a very well-off family. one would expect that someone with her type of looks and wealth would be an outright stuck-up spoiled brat. but she's not.. well, she's a bit spoiled but she's not stuck-up. and she's very funny too (although maybe unintentionally- she's very ditzy and that cracks me up!). we were (as expected) close friends in uni.

we remained close friends until she decided to do her masters in australia last january. after she left we would occasionally sms each other occasionally but that was it. but yesterday morning a received a phone call from her. i was ecstatic. it turned out that she's back for a 3-week break. we decided to meet up kat mamak in tesco md later to catch up on things. aku dah happy dah... until she told me that her bf would be joining us. me being myself, i actually asked her "err.. kalau boyfriend ko tak ikut tak boleh ke?" the truth is, she doesn't really want him to join as as well... because:

1) he'd be lost in the conversation (because he doesn't really share the same circle of friends). but the thing is, he is very persistent and he'd be asking "who are guys talking about" everytime he hears an unfamiliar name.
2) R wants to tell me about her scandal (yup... she's two-timing him... hehehe)

and i didn't want him to join for the 2 reasons stated above plus no. 3:
3) OMG he is such a bore! boring boring boring (heheheh)

but R couldn't escape from not bringing him along so he tagged along last evening. it was nice to see her again and catch up. and gossip. and bitch about the people we don't like. it was fun.. well except for the fact that throughout the whole time her boyfriend was touching her everywhere in front of me! i was like .. whadda?!! it's like he couldn't get his hands off her. i knew R was a bit uncomfortable with it (maybe because she knew that i was not comfortable with it - i kept having to look somplace else whenever he started touching her). hek eleh, desperado sangat ke dia nih? aku yang desperado macam ni pun tak macam tu...

R actually called me aterwards after i got home to apologise. i said that it was fine... "dia rindu sangat kot.. dah setahun tak jumpa" (although in my mind i was like "well, get a room or something then!!") the thing is, i think her bf is feeling a bit insecure about him being two-timed once and all (yup, he knows. but he thought that it was over between R and the other guy when the fact is it is not quite over). i think he can't bear losing R again. but i think he is doing a very good job in making R feel suffocated by him (which could definitely work against him). ntahla... i feel R deserves someone better (well... someone less boring if not better).

i seem to have issues with most of my girlfriends' boyfriends - kenapa ek? could it be because of my jealousy (cos they're straight and i'm not which in turn has allowed them to develop feelings for my girlfriend which i can't). or could it be that they're just plain neurotic psychos? hmm.. it can't possibly me.. it has to be them then ..eheh
