The Professional
Mr Dimples: Let’s meet in Katong. Interested in the ampang niang toufu? Or the peranakan food?
Me: Which part of Katong? Can I pay you to drive me there if you are coming from office? ERP and peak charges inclusive. Good deal leh, I’m in the CBC area.
Me: And what is ampang niang toufu? Can we check out the supposedly authentic HK café too? Saw it on TV last night. Yummy.
Mr Dimples: Ha, don’t be lazy! Go take the MRT to Eunos and I’ll give you a complimentary ride to Katong. And yes, you can have your pick of dinner when you reach the place. Let’s tentatively set it at XXpm at Eunos.

So it turns out it’ll be just the two of us when it’s supposed to be a mini-mini primary school gathering. Maybe YQ can join us since he works in the same place as Mr Dimples, and it’ll be a mini-mini secondary school gathering (if that’s the case, Ryan, I’ll call you to come over too).
Okay we just chatted over MSN (as in just. When I was in the middle of this post). Tuyi may meet us much later, so it’s still a primary school thing. Maybe I should ask Weiming and Jarvis along since they know Tuyi from RI days (small world, they were classmates then!). Then it will be a reunion of my two primary schools together. Now, how cool, and rare is that.

If I were to be critical, Mr Dimples beams way too much. It’s lethal because he’s blinding me. And he’s so towering! And so nice - so British are his well-mannered ways and sunny disposition. I don’t understand why he’s single. Must be because he was from a SAP school (mine). Even the whole scholar profile, with car, Masters from renowned UK university, very decent defense science career path and all sorts of other worthy, worldly facts can’t compensate for the sick sad SAP past. Eek.

In response to a friend’s pondering: Is there a direct correlation between romantic attraction and amount of time spent together?
In my professional opinion, flatly, NO. Seriously, NO.
You know that I should know best.
Then again, I could be a kink in the laws of things. No, but that’s only because I’m a serial SAP dater.
So.
Is he from a SAP background. If yes, then heed me, and flee the scene. Or you can continue to see him, but on a strictly no strings attached basis, purely for the pleasure of his company. Don’t even try to figure out his intentions or second guess. Trust me, he doesn’t know himself. He is CONFUSED & IN DENIAL. Attempting to go linear and interpret his gestures is just gonna drive you insane.
If he’s clean ie no SAP DNA, congratulations. There’s hope yet.
Now, if only someone could save me.

For brevity, I shall term people who studied in a SAP school as "SAP people". But in no uncertain terms should this terminology be misconstrued as an acceptance of discrimination based on the school one was from.
If SAP people are repulsive (or at least un-dateable), then would a couple consisting of both SAP people therefore be an abomination against humanity?
But since SAP people are purportedly so repulsive to non-SAP people, then wouldn't such an arrangement actually be the only salvation from singlehood for SAP people?
Effectively, this verifies your empirical data (i.e. your past dating history) and entail that, truly, SAP people should stick together.
This suggests that the government has formed more options for secondary school students like Integrated Programmes and allowed private schools like the Singapore Sports School and NUS High School in a sinister attempt to further segregate our youths.
This all points to the eventual goal of our government - Personalized one-on-one matchmaking by effectively matching people of the same educational background at a national level to boost our ever-decreasing birth rates.
It's such an ingenious plan, that it must be true.
