A Victim of NGS

Vincent and his “Nice Guy Syndrome”

Friday 26^th – It all begins here

At time around 2pm, I went down to basement to collect my bicycle. I plan to go JobCenterPlus to find other jobs since this kebab shop pay and shift abit suxx. When I was about to cycle out from the basement, 2 chinese girls walking to my opposite direction. Then one of them suddenly came to me and asked me.

Taiwanese Girl: Where you got the bicycle?

Vince: Well, do you know where Bykers?

TG: No.

Vince: Erm..Morrisons?

TG: Yea.

Vince: Ok, Morrisons will be at your left right, you go straight, keep on going, you will see the bicycle shop at your right.

TG: Erm…not very sure, can you bring me to there? Will that be a problem?

Vince: (What bring you to the shop? Why not wahahahaha). Err..sure..emm…when you are free?

TG: I am having holiday right now, but am I bothering you?

Vince: Nah, it alright.

TG: Here, I give you my number.

I gave her my phone and she begins to key in her number, from her expression, she seems to be not able to remember her number. Her friends left her a while ago when I was giving direction. She was trying to remember it and finally asked me to verify if it is correct. I counted if there is 11 numbers, I guess it should be correct…Then she asked how much is the bicycle and did I get the lock for free. I said I bargain it till I got a free lock. She asked me if I can bargain for her because she told me she is shy to do so. Then I told her I will sms her about the time and stuff. She said ok when we both parted.

From here, I keep thinking about her and lost my concentration on finding jobs as well. I know, I suxx…Then when I came back, I smsed her and said tomorrow we go at 1pm. But there were no reply…I keep on waiting. Then my phone rang, but I was disappointed it was not her…suxx…Later, an sms received…but not her…suxx…I didn’t call her because it will shows that I am desperate.

Saturday 27^th – It really begins

I still haven’t sleep around 3am. Not becoz of the girl but I just like to be a “night ghost”. My friend came back around 4am after work. We have some supper until 5am. Suddenly I wanted to write down one of my imaginative story and post it on my blog. Well, this is not related to that girl as well, I can assure you :p. Just suddenly I wanted to feel my main character feelings witnessing her lover were killed by his lover. I know it is abit sadistic but I can’t help it. Again, this is not related at all. Furthermore, my journey in UK which I called it Atlantis is also a story :p. I finished my story around 8am and I went to sleep. Around 9.45, I got a call. I woke up and pick the phone. But too bad, the phone went dead because it was low on battery. I thought it was called by Costa employment because the screen was displaying numbers, not the Taiwanese Girl name. I on my phone again and the number appeared again. When I answered, it went dead again. So, I went to borrow a charger from my friend. His door was not locked properly so I can just go in. He was sleeping but I am desperate for the job. They pay 5.5 pound for hour on day shift and 7 pound for night shift. When I was standing in front of my frens, he woke up and asked what I want. I told him I need a charger and he point to the desk where he keep it. I took it, thanked him and leaved.

I charged my phone for a few minute and on it again. I look for the last call. But 3350 system is kinda obsolete where it couldn’t register the last call before it went dead. So, no choice, I thought I have lost the job. I went back to sleep. Later around 10am, I got a sms. It was a voice mail. I listened the content. I was surprise it was from Yun(TG). She said her mobile phone have no credit and asked if I can give her a call. I was hesitating if I should call her(shy ma…). Still I give her a call.

Vince: Hi, Vincent here.

Yun: Hi Vincent, how are you? Sorry my phone is out of credit…

Vince: It alright, I thought you gave me the wrong number :p. Where are you now?

Yun: I am currently in the bicycle shop. There is a lot of bicycle here. I dun know which one to buy.

Vince: Oh, you found the shop already. Well, you need any help?

Yun: I think I will be fine. Thank you.

Vince: Alright then...bye…

Yun: Bye.

I went back to sleep. But I couldn’t sleep anymore…thinking about her jor…kena poison jor…I gave her a call again to check out on her.

Vince: Hi, Vincent here.

Yun: Hi Vincent.

Vince: How? Got the bicycle?

Yun: Yea. They ask me to come at 1pm to collect the bike.

Vince: Oh, you got the lock?

Yun: Well they included it for me, they are so nice.

Vince: So nice, I needed to bargain with them only I could get the lock. So, you are walking home with your friend?

Yun: Nope, I walk all the way here alone.

Vince: Alone? What about your friend?

Yun: I don’t have friends here. The one you saw yesterday are preparing for France trip. Now I am going to Morrisons, do you wanna come to Morrisons?

Vince: (What the hell? She is all alone? Of coz go la…wait for God to tell me meh?) Ok, I also need to resupply my food.

Yun: Ok meet you there around 5 minutes. Bye

Vince: Bye…(5 Min???Is she nuts or something…nah, can’t care much)

I rush to the kitchen and boil some water. Then I take a quick shower, but clean one :p. Then change my cloths, and took a pack of 3 in 1 coffee and mix it. After I finish consuming my coffee, I rush to the basement and get my bike. Cycle as fast as I can to Morrisons. The motivation to be with her is so high until I dun feel sleepy after just sleeping for 1 hour. When I reach there, I saw her with the cart. She wore pink sweater sort of cloth and a blue jeans with sandals and a hat which I dunno the proper name( some girlish hat…). We walk around the store, she mostly brought vegetable and fruits. No meat products were seen. We have some conversation while shopping. After we have checkout, she asked me how to get a bus home. I didn’t know because I seldom take bus. She asked the bus driver and finally she got one which will drop her at Stoddart Street. I told her that I will cycle back and wait her at the Stephenson building entrance.

I waited around 15 min, but she still haven’t arrived. Then I saw her walking all the way from the opposite road. I go there and help her to carry some stuff. I asked why the bus did not came to the building entrance. Well, it seems the bus driver misunderstood where she wanted to stop and that particular bus she took did not stop at Stoddart street. She was upset because the bus driver said her English was not understandable. Well, kinda scary when she is upset...I tried to cheer her up and help her to bring the stuff to her flat.

She asked me why they don’t straight away give the bicycle to her and have to wait till 1pm to collect it. I explained to her that they need to assemble it and the bicycle you saw is a display sample. Then she asked me again if I know any bus will go to Byker. I didn’t know and I offered her to cycle my bike to Byker.

Yun: Hmm, If I cycle your bike to Byker, and I will need to cycle 2 bike back to Stephenson?

Vince: Nah, I follow you. You cycle it and I will walk there.

Yun: You going to walk there? It is very far…

Vince: Nah, not really that far.

Yun: I think I can cycle my bike while holding you bike back to Stephenson.

Vince:…

Yun: What? You doubt my ability?

Vince: You need a lot of balance to do that.

Yun: I learn ballet in my country, my balancing is fine.

Vince:… Still, you are holding a bike while cycling your…

Yun: I can do it.(Kinda stubborn…)

Vince: Ok ok. I guess you better go at 2pm. If you go early, and they haven’t finish assembling it, you might need to wait.

Yun: Good idea. Then we meet at 2pm

Vince: Alright.

I got her msn while going back to my flat. At 2pm I called her and walked down to the entrance.

Vince: You go first, I will follow you.

Yun: I guess you might be getting your bike when I was half way back :p

Vince: Haha,

When she starts to cycle, I jog to Byker. I know a little short cut to reach Byker, well not that short but just a little nearer, but you have to go thru some forest-like park. I dunno how long I have jog, but I saw her just arrived to the bike shop :p. It was like 10 shops away, I stopped jogging and walk. Tired jor :p. She was surprised when I walk in to the shop.

Yun: Vincent, you arrived! You took bus?

Vince: Nope, didn’t I told you I don’t know the bus to Bykers…

Yun: You are so fast…

Vince: Well, I know the road to Byker is kinda steep, so I know you will cycle abit slower :p. So, I guess I will arrived around the same time like you did.

Yun: (laugh)

After we collected the bike, she said she wanted to go look around the indoor swimming pool nearby. I accompany her. Then we cycled home. When the lift stops at Level 2, she walks out and bit me farewell.

Nice Guy Syndrome analysis

In this case, I guess I have fallen to category 1 and 2 of NGS. The Yes Guy and the Good Guy. Maybe category 4 as well which is the Doormat Guy. I am doomed. I slept for only 1 hour and I still need to work at 8pm. The motivation from girls really drive me crazy…DOOMED.
