Wah bro, this story ah, confirm make you speechless. My friend Gary—30 years old, working as an engineer, decent salary, not ugly also. But hor, when it comes to girls, his brain auto shut down. Any woman show a bit of attention, he already fall deeper than Marina Bay.
So that day we go lim, just chill only. End up at one of those atas-looking pubs. Got hostesses one, you know the type—wear very little, laugh at every joke, and call every uncle “darling”. Then boom, Gary kena hook. One girl come sit beside him, introduce herself as Yuki, a local cai. Confirm fake name lah, probably Ah Lian from Bedok, but Gary blur like sotong, believe 100%.
Yuki sweet-talk him until his ears melt. Say she only doing this job to “support her mum’s hospital bills” and she “not like other girls”. Gary look at her like he just found the love of his life. That night, he buy her drinks, order cheese platter, and even pay for her Grab ride home—GrabPremium somemore, like she some celebrity.
After that night, the nonsense start. One day she say she no money for makeup—Gary straight away transfer her $200, say “go buy what you need, don’t worry”. Next day she hungry, he order Japanese food to her condo, say “I want you to eat well”. Bro, he never even go her place before, don’t even know if she really live there!
Then she start saying she scared take MRT at night. Gary become her free taxi booking service. Every few days, she ask him to book ComfortDelGro for her to go “home from work”. One time even ask him to book for her and “a friend” to go karaoke. He also blur blur say okay. Like I say—free ATM with feelings.
You think that’s all? Got one day she say her dog sick, need go vet, very sad. Gary heart soft, transfer her $300 without blinking. I ask him later, “Since when she got dog?” He say, “I dunno leh, but I trust her.” That trust more solid than BTO cement sia.
One month in, he already spent over $2k on her. Never even hold her hand leh! She reply only when she need things. When he ask to meet up properly, she always say she tired or busy or got family emergency. Then go her Insta story, you see her at rooftop bar sipping wine with other guy. Gary still tell me, “Bro, I think she shy only. She not like other girls.”
Bro… she exactly like other girls, maybe worse. But Gary? He still waiting. Say she “got potential”. Wah lau eh, the only potential I see is him going bankrupt.
Moral of the story? You too thirsty, any girl also can fry you like goreng pisang. Gary not just blind to red flags—he collect them like limited edition Pokémon cards.
