And the Ball is in Malcolm's Court

The data on Ruixian's computer has disappeared, her computer requests for a format, and she has asked for help on Malcolm's rather inaccessible tagboard. Her plea appears to be directed at Malcolm, because 1) she did not ask me for help although she SMSed me for tuition (fine I do NOT have a degree in computing.... but see! I did the blog for the Malc... practically from scratch >.<) 2) she makes a direct reference in her tag to Myron's post on why she should date Malcolm ("COMPUTER WOES").

As Myron (masquerading as 'someone') so aptly put it, it appears that Ruixian has made the first move.

And what does Malcolm do about this? He acts cool. Although he has her MSN, and her blog address, he tags on his own blog, telling Ruixian what he thinks is wrong with the computer, telling her how he thinks it can be fixed, and (pointedly?) informing her that he cannot physically help her because he doesn't have the tools required in his solution.

Malcolm could have reacted in this way because of various reasons:

1. Malcolm is a kuku and doesn't know a hint when he sees one.
2. Malcolm saw the hint, but was too embarassed to try take advantage of it, which still makes him a kuku.
3. Malcolm saw the hint, but thought that playing it cool would score him extra points - kuku all the same.
4. Malcolm actually has no interest in Ruixian, and is politely trying to tell her no. (Which, in my opinion, still means he is a kuku.)

Knowing Malcolm and the insanity that seems to come over him whenver Ruixian is involved (see post), I'd think it's no. 1. Or possibly no. 3. Bio definitely didn't teach Malc how to handle such a situation.

There is a strong suspicion on our part that HI and HELLO on the tagboard are Ruixian's friends. If so, Ruixian's friends seem to be rather supportive of Malcolm getting attached to Ruixian. HELLO has urged Malcolm to ask Ruixian out on a date, and HI has asked Ruixian to give Malcolm a chance. Both are very supportive of Malcolm and Ruixian becoming an item.

Ruixian, if you wish to find out who these dear friends are, HI's IP is 220.255.53.134, and HELLO's IP is 210.24.115.125. I'm sure you must be touched that your friends are showing such care and concern towards you, and if when Malcolm and you finally get hitched, you may want to remember them and thank them for helping you along at the start. (:

Malcolm, does it take Myron to point out the obvious to you, that you should offer to go down and fix Ruixian's computer for her? What's stopping you? The fact that Ruixian is not legal yet?? You waited 25 years already surely can wait 1 more right . Besides, the suspense can lead to a heightened first experience. =P

Don't worry, Ruixian, I'm sure he'll last longer on his first try than Myron *gigglez*.

So, Malcolm, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?????

Oh ya. Ruixian ran off to KL.

Will Ruixian meet someone in KL and forget about Malcolm completely? Will their interest survive the separation? Will Malcolm regret not jumping at opportunity when it presented itself? Will Ruixian wish she made herself more obvious before she left? Stay tuned to http://meyanze.blogspot.com to find out.
