Weird lah this guy

There's this guy. Let's call him Kat (OK, I know it sounds like a girl's name, but believe me it IS part of his name).

Actually Kat wasn't my friend when I first met him. He was, err... pursuing one of my girl friends. Kat and my friend were never an item, as she was already attached to someone else back then.

Much later, Kat's path and mine crossed, and he somehow become my friend pulak.

The last time I met him about 3 months ago, he told me he might get engaged to a girl of his mom's choice. A decent girl according to him.

The last time he called me, he confessed that he's not ready for marriage, and asked me: "How do I break off an engagement? I met a long lost cousin, and damn, she's great! I nak break off engagement, how lah?"

He's weird. OK lah, given that I've never been engaged, and the longest serious relationship I had lasted for about 9 months, I can't imagine what it feels like to be engaged.

At some points, I even wondered if the engagement was even real. Or is it just something he said to achieve... what? What did he expect me to say in response to his announcement actually?

And last week, when Linda was voted out of AF, Kat sent an SMS: "am shocked. very unexpected"
To which I replied: "you too?!"
And imagine my shock when he sent this in return: "am only human. p/s: i think i miss you"

Alamak! How do I respond to that one?

When I told the girl friend about Kat's SMS, she sounded... happy for me. Aiseh, you're NOT helping lah girl! :Þ

And earlier today, Kat called, asked me to have lunch with him. I told him I already made plans with Jikin and Shars. He asked me to cancel my plan with them and have lunch with him instead. I told him no. I think he's quite miffed, coz he immediately hang up.

Half an hour later he called again.
"You sure you don't want to change your mind?"
"No lah. I've already promised my two colleagues here. Not nice lah to cancel. And you lambat sangat call."

"Jom lah. You can have lunch with them on Monday."
"You come KLCC lah. I'm having lunch there. Come lah."

"Takmo. I nak bawak you gi gerai. Takmo KLCC."
"Apasal lambat sangat call. Next time call earlier. Book me early," I told him. "Next time lah then?"

"Hmm. OK lah."
Tut tut tut. Line went dead.

Hmm... weird lah this Kat. Did he really expect me to cancel my plans to have lunch with him?

Last time when I was going out with AT, I don't remember him asking me to cancel my plans to go out with him. And we were dating.

But this is Kat. And we're not dating. We're just friends. Am I expected to drop everything and go along with his plans?

Now that would be weird.
