in the lift
i met an american today.in one of the lifts at ritz carlton hotel when i went for sheena's 21st birthday celebrations. she booked a room there and had a small and cosy birthday gathering there.
ritz carlton hotel is such a nice place. classy, cosy and all. haha.
anyway, zhuzhu and i were on our way up to the room when coincidentally, we were in the same lift as this angmoh.
"how're you doing?" he asked immediately when the lift door shut.
american. i thought to myself at that instance. haha.
i guess zhuzhu didn't know how to react at that point of time. but after my short 3 months in US, it almost came naturally to me to reply back in the way i should.
"good. how about you?" i answered.
"are you a tourist here?" i went on, trying to maintain the conversation.
and so we chatted briefly from the 3rd to the 8th floor. haha. and he told me he's from san francisco. gotcha. i knew he was american. i could tell when he started speaking. he's stopping by here for business. wow. rich huh... stopping by for business and staying in a 6 star hotel. woah.
he asked where we were from and i told him we were locals. and he was like, "what are you doing in a hotel?" pretty fast thinker. good question. i didn't think about that. it didn't make sense for well, a local to seemingly go to a 6 star hotel room?! and well, so i just said we were visiting a friend. i hope he didn't think we were going to provide extra services huh. we were dressed prim and properly.
and then the lift door opened and we stepped out. he ended the conversation telling us that he's not a gay because alot of people say that he looks like one. and i'm like.. okay... a bit no link.
and so my short encounter with an american today ended in a few tens of seconds. maybe he really thought that we didn't seem decent... and so emphasized the point that he wasn't gay. ha i've no idea man. maybe he was just trying to be funny...
and oh the catch is... we both agree that he's good looking! hahaha.
