(Cam)p It Up! Part II

I had wanted to return him his camera, as it is no longer in working condition, but that sounds heartless. So what came out was an sms asking him whether he wants to accompany me to get a digital camera.

In less than 5 seconds, my friend called and said he hadn’t heard from me for a long time. And that he would be happy to accompany me. Weekends would be good as he’s very busy on Mondays to Fridays on a top secret project. So we settled for Saturday.

Me: Please make yourself useful hor.
He: I don’t know anything!
Me: Then bring you along for what. Duh. You must at least know more than me.
He: That I can be sure.
Me: Boo.
He: I’m after all an engineer.

Nevertheless, I give Mr Dimples full marks for gallantry. Bonus marks for calling while waiting for dinner outside and talking still when dinner has been served (my guess – can’t take that long to get it on the table). More marks for coming across as “worrying” (in an attractively awkward manner) whether he should drive for my sake. I think meaning in the preceding sentence is unclear but so long as I know what I mean. Minus marks for egging me to buy both the camera and ipod. Bad.
