I was in Parkson with my friends X and Y (names changed to protect the guilty ;)) when we saw this group of girls sitting at Giant. I took a photo and unfortunately, the flash went off...
The girls looked at me and I smiled at them and shrugged and when I took the second shot (without flash - better skin tone), they giggled and turned away. One of them jokingly said to the other girl that I was interested in her. Nothing of that sort, of course, I just like street photography.
Anyway, by sheer coincidence, we bumped into them again, this time upstairs. I approached them and got them to pose for a photo. I'm not a big fan of posed photos, I much prefer candid shots of people doing what they do. I asked them where they were from, and they said they were from the Guangzhou province of The People's Republic of China.
Well, after that, one of the girls asked if they could have a copy of the photos. I said sure, and gave them my number. X and Y, who were standing at the sidelines (they're kinda embarrassed when I pull shit like this ;)) was harassing me to get their numbers. They were interested in the girls, but I wasn't, but hey, they are my friends, so I got their numbers.
I also took a photo with them, got Y to take the photos. X was the most interested party and I gave him the number and he got Y to call the girl. I'm not interested in anything beyond this point, I just like to take photos and that's it. It's for the XX Chromosomes category, see. ;)
Well, Y called up the girl and the girls asked us to take them to another shopping center and walk around with them. I'm not falling for that shit, so I said I'm going to bail, but X insisted that I stay around a bit. Well, I told X that I'll just stay till the duration it took to get me home, and the girls talked to us a bit.
Classic dodgy stuff, standard modus operandi, but X was interested, so hey, wtf, I talked to them until I got home. X and Y later went out with the girls to the shopping center, and later that night, they called me and told me about what happened. It's the characteristic ruse that these girls pull; I know coz I asked them about their line of work and why they're here while in the car. I laughed so much I was in tears.
Somehow, "I told you so", just wasn't quite enough. ;)
