Earthian vs Martian

You know that you’re dealing with familiar ground when…
I sms my old friend from varsity, my Buddy, last night. I mentioned that I’ll be going to the gym later today. Would he like to meet up after that for a drink. His replied was quick and straightforward, ‘ok, see you.’
You know you’re dealing with a creature from a different planet when…
Mr Monorail called me again (not sure how many times already) late at night after I’d gone to bed, it was 1.15am. I’m getting impatient here. My friends said he didn’t act like a married man. Probably, my immature theory was correct.
Also, I’m beginning to see a pattern. He took the trouble to call but he didn’t really want to talk to me. Want to be friends or don’t want to be friends? Was he playing games or… did he lose his guts somewhere along the line.
Just now my impatience got the better of me. So, I sms him:
Rie, Apasal u selalu call I masa I dah tidur? Kalau nak kawan, jom la gi lunch ke apa, boleh gak berbual. Lunch today u free ke?
There was no answer so I went for an early lunch and called him at 1.20pm. He sounded slightly embarassed. He mumbled that a report was due by 2pm and he couldn’t have lunch today (the line wasn’t so clear). He said ‘tomorrow’. Okay, we shall see. Man, what’s his problem?
