CAM-araderie at LA

Good things come to those who wait.

Many an exasperated editor gave up on the possibility on the orange building ever hiring any single, male eye-candy for the chicks, and left for better-looking pastures. It would be unfair to say there were no single guys in the orange building, but the fact that no one remembered their existence, speaks for itself.

But as mentioned before, good things come to those who wait.

And so, one fine day, CAM-guy walked in through the glass doors of the orange building, and the definition of 'good looks' changed forever. Editors who had decided to stay on against all odds suddenly found a new reason to live.

Now he's not called CAM-guy because he's into photography, but because he's... errr... Cute and Ang Moh. And the best part about him is - he's so completely approachable that in spite of his drop-dead gorgeous looks, you don't feel attracted to him. Phew. It's a good thing because office romances always result in a minimum of one resignation.

He is what they call 'an interesting phenomenon', best viewed under bright light conditions at LA (Lorong AhSoo). Conversations with him can make your eyes rounder than table tennis balls (especially when he abuses in Mandarin, with a broad smile, no less) or leave you helpless with laughter.

Incident 1:
So we were all having lunch at LA, when this salesman walks up to our table and tries to sell us wallets.

CAM-guy calmly takes his wallet out.

"Whoa! Convinced so easily?" We wonder.

CAM-guy holds up his wallet and says to the salesman, "I have a wallet, you see. I don't need another one." and calmly puts it back in his pocket.

Whoa. We gape.

Incident II:

Once again, during lunch at LA, someone brought up the topic of how L was escorted out of the orange building.

Cam-guy could not withhold his excitement.

"She was escorted by the police??"

"Not police. Security."

"She went to P******." said someone.

"She went to PRISON????" he asked delightedly.

Helpless laughter at the lunch table.
