The call...
I actually felt depressed as I went to sleep last night. I started feeling like really really depressed, like I wanted to cry. I remember someone posting on the gambling addiction forum saying I had issues coping - they are right. I thought about that, and it made me feel a bit better.
However, I still found myself waking up at 3:30am thinking about it.
I went back to sleep later and went to work as usual. I said good morning to all in my team as I passed as usual. I got changed, had breakfast and started working, but couldn't help but check my phone every 15-30 minutes.
At lunch I went out with Genie to check out the Chinese New Year stalls to see if they had sugar cane juice. I told her about my initial coffee/advertising business idea, and also about the Red Bull story/marketing Asian products to Westerners. She really agreed with the latter, just like everyone else I had told. I think I really am onto something here. Just need more action, less words.
The stalls weren't there, so we took a walk around Chinatown and watched the lion dancing for a bit, then went to Coles together so I could get my chicken. In the kitchen we were still talking about our business idea and saw Christina. Genie asked her about sugar cane, and I was thinking "nooooo..." and naturally Christina asked why we were asking, so I just said we were discussing the viability of it.
In the afternoon I had pretty much made up my mind about calling Lin. I had asked Clare and Genie, and they have both had experiences with people not receiving their text messages. So the chance of Lin not having received my message seemed slightly higher now. I just couldn't picture her ignoring it. She didn't seem like the type, and she seemed to have fun that night, definitely don't know what I did wrong if she did ignore it.
When Nunjo left, she came by to say bye. I was taking folders out of my cupboards and turned around to say hi. She kinda paused and looked to smile a bit before turning to leave. Definitely not something she'd do with Ogre/Clare/Moira. Hmmm. Too bad I don't care anymore.
I waited until 5:50pm when everyone had left the office to call her. The phone rang, and rang, and rang. I was nervous as hell, but told myself to be confident. Just say happy Chinese New Year. Just ask her out casually.
No answer. It went to one of those funny voice mail messages. I hung up. Then, she sent a message.
Lin @ 17:53 - Hi...[insert name here]...i am working..
Me @ 17:53 - Oh ok...maybe speak later then :)
I was hoping she'd tell me what time she finishes, but nope. Nada after that.
I don't know what to think right now. Maybe she's not working and just fobbed me off? Oh well, guess I can only wait now.
I worked a bit more and then left for the gym at 7:15pm. I did my usual workout, and had messaged Bo asking about his ankle. By the time I got home, still no reply. I decided to call him to see if he received my message. He said he did but hadn't read it yet. Grrr.
