Forgot I was writing this! haha thanks for the support readers! Here goes part 2!
1st Encounter - The TKGS Girl from MIRC.
During my time in secondary school, I was in a boys school. The trend then was the use of MIRC, MSN, Napster and all. MIRC and MSN were usually the best way to contact girls since not everyone had handphones. Unfortunately, my family were not well to do, so we did not have any computers nor the internet. I only learnt about these things when I go to my best friend's house or when I go to the school computer lab(during our time, we use the computer to surf porn! haha).
I was introduced to my friend to MIRC and MSN when i went to his house after school. The conversation somewhat went like this.
L: Eh use la my computer, can use IRC to know girls leh.
Me: wa lau you talk like so easy meh, I dont even know how to use computer.
L: I am already talking to this girl from Katong Convent leh, we chat for a few days on irc, then end up talking over the phone for the past 3 nights sia! We talk almost till morning leh!
Me: Wa lau got what to talk sia! how to talk to morning!
L: aiya just logon to my computer, and try to talk to someone la! no harm also what. I leave you alone, I am going to call my girl now, maybe wanna ask her to be my stead already
Me: Huh! you never even met her yet leh! you not scared its some ugly girl meh.
L: Fuck off la I like can alr. I go my sister room to call, different line from the internet line.
Me: aiya ok la i try.
By now, Ive seen him try to chat to girls on IRC, so I thought just follow lor haha. If you all know also, lucky his house got 2 lines, if not when he call the girl, I wont be able to use the 56k internet haha.
So I logged in on IRC, and had to change nick since I am using my friends computer. If I didnt remember wrongly, I went with the very common ahboy17 or something like that. For pple in my same era, I am not sure if you went to the same channels, but I went to channels like
#Singapore #sgteens #teens etc. I started posting on the main channel to find chats, but things were really moving really slow. I decided to take another strategy.
As you all know by now, nicks are very important. In the past, it used to be what help us identify one another. i started scrolling down looking at the nicks of the supposed girls in the channel, nicks like 'Ahgalzz' 'xiaoyun14' 'xiaomei19' 'ijgal' etc and started to message each nick one by one. obviously this was a hit and miss situation. Sometime some reply you, most of the time not really.
Suddenly one notification came and the chat was coming from .... 'tkgsgirl'
Me: Hi! intro pls?
tkgsgirl: 14f sg
Me: haha i know this might sound stupid, but does your nick means you are from TKGS?
tkgsgirl: yea i am. is that a problem?
Me: thinking ( wa lao whats with the attitude sia) . No no no problem, I just dont really know anyone from TKGS, so i find it quite interesting lor.
tkgsgirl : ok.
Now, I am sure many bros who use IRC have such replies, and usually this is like close shop alr. the girl like no interest to continue, and like replying with an attitude, so I was like aiya waste time. But I decided to give it one last whirl.
me: why so bored? what cca are you from?
tkgsgirl: I bored meh, maybe i not so good at chatting online. I am from military band (Now, many guys wish so much that she answer netball here right hahaha.)
me: oh band! that's cool what instrument do you play?
tkgsgirl: Bye!
I was like huh? what nonsense is this. I suck at IRC man haha I cant retain the girl's attention. Suddenly, the notification came again.
tkgsgirl: my number is *********. call me at 10pm, i got free incoming call. my parents are back i need to go. chat on phone later easier ok? bye!
another surprise for me then. I've never really talked to girls much on the phone, but I thought at least that's something I can do without having internet at home! I looked at the clock at my friend's house and it was only 5pm! Such a long wait till 10pm!
When I reached home, I decided to sms her and see if there was a response. She replied and confirmed that we should just talk on the phone at 10om. If we sms too much now, her parents will be suspicious. I was just so excited I believed everything, so I waited patiently till 10pm.
At 10pm, I decided to make the call!
Me: calls
Me: Hello, is this tkgsgirl? I am ahboy15! =)
tkgsgal: ...... it was just silence
Me: Hello! are you there??
At this moment, I heard a response from the girl. It was......................
