escorting socially

sometime last week during the girls' nite out, cat 'recruited' me to be a social escort for an upcoming event she's organizing (more like sosial eskot). i asked her how come she's not using her client's employee to do that, she says got lah some syt but they don't have the persona. apparently i have the persona, whatever that is so she thought i might be suitable for the job. and i am getting paid. see, i told you there is a halo slowly forming above my head & i am glowing with wings in my back.....you don't want to believe. you got or not, this persona? don't have, kan kan kan..

anyways, last night cat reminded me about requiring my services. so i asked - time? dress code? the exchange of sms-es went somewhat (not exactly lah) like this:

cat: 830 office wear
me: office wear? what's that? i don't have any of those anymore (penganggur terhormat for about what two years now??)
cat: go buy one lah
me: no way. last i remembered i used to go to the office in jeans & polo tees
cat: cannot
me: okay lah i think i have a dress somewhere...

and today after being stood up by some diva, i suggested to the hubby for a nite out of music, chatter & drinks. he asked if my friends wanted to come along. casting aside all the domesticated ones who have a million & one reasons, i sent an sms to cat asking her if she wanted to join. caught her on gtalk like this:

me: oi
cat: oi
me: why you no reply my sms?
cat: wait, wait let me check. ahhh..can't la amoi..esok ada date..field trip early in the morning
me: ohkay lah
cat: siapa pegi
me: so far hubby & me only
cat: valentine eve..how lomantic
me: nolah, just going out for fun. obviously you haven't read my latest post
cat: bulum ;) bz buat legal agreement...can u beat that??
me: oooh, ally mcbeal with short skirt et al
cat: hehehe..ya..ya..xcept me in shorts hhaha
me: trend sekarang mah kira office wear la tu. ooh ooh can i wear that kat istana kuda mas?
cat: TAK LEH ;p (yes yes in capital letters)
me: alamak garangnye mak ayam ni

so saper-saper yang nak melanggan eskot servis yang so sial ni, sila lah berhubung ngan mamasan cat...
