Chapter 1
(Eerie music began, with some really high vocal singing) In a dark, raining
night, in a max. secure prison, sorry, castle or big house (I can’t see
properly mah!), some quarreling voices were heard. Sounds of thunder drowned the
noise, but not for long. Sounds of breaking of glass were heard. In the house, a
man and his son were really quarreling loud. The man appeared angry and he threw
his wineglass to the floor. (the vocal continue to sing, getting higher and
higher) “Shut up and scram!” The man shouted to some girls beside him. The
vocal stopped and the girls walked away, annoyed.
“Daniel, I don’t care what are you doing, you do yourself!” Daniel (the
son), turned around and stormed out of the house. He didn’t carry an umbrella
with him. He just walked in the rain furiously as he suddenly slipped from the
slippery road and fall down as a split. “Aww!” He bawled. Then, when he
realized what was he doing, he said to himself, “Hey, I never knew I could do
that!” He stood up and continued to walk. Then, he felt somehow wet and cold
in his legs, when he looked down, he found out that his trousers had torn apart
when he did the spilt. “Shit!” He cried but knew he could not turn back. So
he continued to walk.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Singapore, 6.30 am, bus interchange
As Daniel is still struggling with his torn trousers, we now take a look at
Alec, who’s the first day of his new job, a bus driver.
Alec walked nervously across the walkway, with 76 pairs of eyes, which means 152
eyeballs, some black, some green, some blue, some brown, some yellow and some
red looking at him. He took a little peek at the people in the bus line waiting
for his bus no. 13. It was the peak hours for the students to get to school. He
was already sweating, the sky had not lightened up yet, and what if he lost his
way? What if he forgot the route? 152 eyeballs will jump on him… I mean, 76
people will jump on him and beat him. He was so nervous that he did not notice
that he was walking on the spot a puddle of sweat was around him.
One male student threw a piece of banana skin on the floor in front of him and
called, “Hey, nerd, drive your bus lah!” Alec looked at him nervously and
nodded furiously. He slowly walked to his bus, a step at a time. Suddenly, he
stepped onto the banana skin and fell to the ground on his back. “HAHAHA!”
The people laughed hilariously. He embarrassingly stood up and walked to his
bus. The remembered clearly what his superior told him. “The third bus from
the right.” He slowly searched for it. Then when he saw the car plate FR1313Y
he sighed, “Friday 3(march) 13, Why?” He looked at his digital watch, Friday
13th of March. He had no point but to take this bus. He slowly opened the door
and did all the preparation jobs. Finally, student came rushing in like flood.
Just when he was about to close he doors, a lady waved franticly at him to stop.
He stopped and opened the doors. The lady ran up the bus but missed her steps
and fell down. Several good people help her up. She thanked them and walked to
find a place to sit. Alec who noticed that she hasn’t pay her fares yet,
called out, “Hey, miss! You haven’t pay your fares yet!” The lady looked
at him blankly and said, “I pay already. Just now before I fall down, I
inserted the fare card already!” Now Alec was a little angry. He walked out of
his driver’s seat and straight to the back. “Give me 55 cents!” He argued.
“No! I gave the bus fare already, it’s just that you didn’t see!”
“Well you haven’t! You stupid lair, think I’m not educated is it? I know
math!” “Well, people who end up here are not that educated.” She smirked.
“Shut up, just give me 55 cents first, or I’ll complain about you!”
“Complain about ‘bad attitude of passengers’ to your bus company? Hahaha,
that’s the most stupid joke I’ve ever heard!” She mocked “So you finally
admit you have bad attitude, huh?” Alec didn’t notice that the accelerator
was not pulled backwards. Then, the bus jerked backward suddenly causing him to
fall on her body with their lips pressed hardly on each other! Their eyes were
opened widely and gasped in shock. They quickly release from each other’s kiss
and Alec rushed back to stop the bus.
But he had not given up, he walked up to her and said, “It was my first kiss,
you know, and I’m going to share it with my girlfriend! Now you spoiled it!”
“So? I had my first kiss before already. Ha, fancy losing your first kiss to
someone you doesn’t know for only 55 cents! Another joke in my day! This day
is going to be just so funny! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!”
She began to laugh so hilariously that the whole bus of eyeballs began to laugh
with her. He had never ever felt so embarrassed before. He walked back to his
seat and moved the bus from the berth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
National University of Singing Paul
Theresa walked in the campus and on a sole platform, a man all painted with
bronze paint was singing. “Hi, Paul!” She greeted the Singing Paul and she
strolled her way past. “Hi, Theresa…” He sang out the words.
This is the University of the Singing Paul and Theresa was studying Financing in
her 4th year. She really love money, even the word money makes her excited. She
went into her classroom and found a seat right at the back. Just then, her
friend came and greeted her. “Hey, guys, this morning really sucks! I met this
bus driver who’s so unreasonable! I saw his nametag and learnt that his name
is Alec Su. I’m going to complaint on him! So now you that the lady is
Theresa.
Soon, the professor came in and started the lesson. Theresa who was at the back
secretly took out her dictionary and turned to her familiar page, 789, where the
explanation of Money is. She remembered every explanation from top to bottom. If
you give her a dictation on this, she didn’t even have to study for it. She
can even read it backwards. Between the page was a note of $5. She held it
tightly to her hand and smelled it with delight. She was caressing the paper and
the dictionary when the professor yelled, “Theresa, If I catch you doing that
for the 43rd time, I’ll record in your report card!” “Madame, you have
great memory in the sense of numbers, but I don’t think you that kind of
intelligence in the sense of… verbs? You’ve said that for 42 times already.
What did you do? Nothing!” She smiled very sweetly and her.
The whole class laughed and the professor said, “OK, you win. Let’s carry
on.” Theresa is clever, but she used it on money. Her goal is to be the first
richest human who is a woman and do not have a rich background nor rich
relatives and lives in Singapore and graduated from National University of
Singing Paul which is the only university in the whole universe to have a live
singing person as a statue and sing 24 hours non stop in not only the world but
the whole of galaxy or outer space ever under 30 years of age.
(pant…pant…pant, try saying it out loudly in just one go. Oh man, and um…
woman of course, being a “narratress” is just so difficult…) Hope
you…pant… understand what she means… I don’t but …pant…hope you will
and tell me later… oh my, I’m so out of breath! I …need to rest now! See
ya next chapter! Pant…pant…pant…… ~ ga…la….

Chapter 2
Ok, now after a break, here I come again, Yippee!!! Ok, where did I stop? Oh,
yeah, her goal is to be the first richest human who is a woman and… never
mind. I already mentioned it in the last chapter. While Theresa is still
caressing her dictionary like mad, let’s take a look at Vicki, our lead
actress!!!
Vicki was once again taking out her make up box and was brushing some kind of
powdering on her face. Then, the phone rang. She picked it up and said in her
usual high pitch voice, “A Small Company, hello?” “This is the ‘A Small
Company’?” “Yes, who’s speaking?” “I’m Jimmy Lin from ‘A Big
Bank’. May I speak to your manager please?” “Ok, please wait.” Vicki
pressed some buttons and said, “Manager, Jimmy Lin from ‘A Big Bank’
called on line 2.” After that she put down the phone and continued her
powdering. “Hmm… not enough.” She took out her lunchbox and continued her
powdering from her lunchbox.
“How come this powder is so big?” She said to herself, “Never mind, still
the same.” She duck out a scoop of them with face and pressed them hard on her
face. She saw some red and black liquid in the box and put them on her face too.
Then, her boss called out to her. “Vicki! Come in for a while!” She walked
from her reception desk annoyed. She hated being disturbed from her meal.
“Coming!” She walked to his room but she noticed that her colleagues were
staring at her strangely. “What? Never see a beauty like me before, is it?”
She flanged her hair backwards and stepped into the room. Her boss got the
fright of his life as he freaked his soul out jerked backwards. “Miss ghost,
I’ve not offended you, I think you’ve went to the wrong place. Please
leave…” He was trembling when Vicki suddenly showed up behind him and said,
“What?” “Argh!!!!” He shouted and freaked out of the room. “What’s
wrong with him? She was about to leave when she caught sight of a glass window
with her reflection and she shouted, “AHHHHHHHH!!!! RICE!!!!!!!”
What a blur queen she is. But she actually very determined, she even plan to
take part in the beauty pageant in Hong Kong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Big Bank
Some streets away, in a bank counter, a man was grumbling. “Money, money,
money. Yuck, it stinks!” He murmured as he pasted a stack of cash to the lady
in front of him. “Excuse me?” The lady stared at him. “Nothing. I’m just
singing, you know, the new song? Money, money, money, money…” He began to
sing but he did not enjoy a bit. The lady took the money and walked away. Jimmy
stuck his tongue at her and made a face. “JIMMY LIN!” He heard his superior
shout at him. He came to Jimmy and started to scold him in front of the people.
“You! Why did you stick your tongue out and make faces? You’re not monkey.
Oh yeah, I forgot, you are a monkey. Better go to the school and… sorry, zoo
and never some back, Understand?” Jimmy rolled his eyes and ignored him.
“Next!” He called. Theresa came forward. She handed him the bankbook and a
cheque. “Deposit $300 and withdraw $50.” She said. Jimmy stared at her.
“What a beauty! Even her words are so beautiful… If only…” Thought
bubbles began to rise from his head. Theresa saw them, poked them with her
fingernails, and repeated what she wanted. Jimmy nodded furiously but his eyes
never left her. “Excuse me?” Theresa was annoyed. The boss hit him on his
head hard and shouted in his ear, “DO YOUR WORK!!!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somewhere, don’t ask me where because I also don’t know
In a quiet, dark and eerie alleyway, a man is sweeping the ground. He was
wearing a big black coat, a big black hat and big black boots. Then, he stopped
and sat on his canvas bed. He took out an oil lamp and lighted it. He put it on
a card box and lie down. The moment he lied down, drips of water fall from the
sky. The sat up. The drips stopped. He sigh and lied down again. The drips of
water fall again. Annoyed, he sat up. Nothing happened, he looked at the sky.
“Why must you do that to me! TIAN AH!!!(OH MY GOD)” He flung off his hat
which showed a very dirty face. His moustache had not been cut for months
already. White foam is everywhere on his face. Yuck, that’s saliva, that…
that’s so urghh. Yeeee, I don’t want to talk about him already, change
scene!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vicki’s house
Vicki came back from her office. She looked at her 3 room flat. “Flat
indeed.” She said. As far she remembered, she had said it every time she
reached home. Theresa is her step sister actually not real sisters. (because
they have different surnames). But they have real good relationships with each
other. She went to the fridge immediately and took out her favorite bar of
chocolate, “Shit”. It is made into a shape of a shit. She began to lick it
with delight. Then, Theresa came back. Once she entered the house, she kept on
blabbling (no such word, ok?) about what happened this morning. “You know,
what? You don’t know. I met this stupid bus driver who argued with me for only
55 cents! So stupid. Because of this damn stupid 55 cents, he even kissed me!
Not worth! This Stupid Alec Su, if I get the chance I’ll complain about
you!” He put down her back and went to the kitchen for a glass of water.
Then, she noticed what Vicki is doing. “You are eating shit again?” Vicki
stared at her and said, “Yeah, this is not the first time you know me. I just
love eating shit. It's so delicious. Most of all, it’s not sweet, means that I
can eat it even I’m on a diet.” “But shit is so bitter.” “So? I just
love shit. If I can, I’ll buy all the shit from the whole world and eat it.
Heard that shit from India is the best because the ingredients are all made
fresh in India.” “You really know a lot about shit.” Vicki smiled and
continued eating her ‘shit’.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
On a street
Alec was running along the street carrying his bag and wearing his bus driver
uniform. Suddenly he screeched. Fire sparks fly around his shoe. When he came to
a halt, his shoe was already all wore off. He sighed and walked back. He came
across a dark hallway and walked in. Suddenly, “Bang!” He banged into
something. He rubbed his forehead. “Aww!” He cried. “How come I always
forget?” He said to himself and reached for the bell. “Ling…” the black
metal door began to open. He took out something and put it on his head.
Switching on his headlight, he strolled to an end where there’s a big cage.
In the cage was a big creature. It had 6 jagged legs, millions of eyes divided
into two big eyes. It also had a pair of strong feelers as if they were able to
reach out and hold you up in mid air and strangle you. But the most scary thing
is the two sharp, pointed, slimy and not to mention smelly teeth. It gritted and
sneered. It was a giant grasshopper! Suddenly…… “Clang!”
Alec closed the doors of the cage. Scare me. I thought the grasshopper got Alec
and ate him, anyway, grasshoppers don’t eat meat right? It eats grass! How
silly I haven’t thought of that, maybe next time I’ll use giant flea. No lah,
that paragraphed is actually my imagination, you know, when it’s dark, and
there’s a cage, most of us will think of something like that… hehehe.
That’s actually a lift. Those kind of big ones that construction sites use.
That building is not exactly a construction site. It’s a very old building. Ok
ok, after so much tense and grasshopper thing, what on heaven is Alec doing the
heaven is Alec doing there?
“Good afternoon, boss.” “You’re 1 minute late.” The boss stared at
him. Alec put down his things and explained, “Actually I’m early, but that
damn narrator kept on talking about grasshoppers and didn’t talk about what
did I do. So I waited until she finally talk about me. It’s not my fault,
ok?” The boss looked at him and said, “Ok, I believe you. Now go and
work.”
He walked to his seat and started to type things on his typewriter. He was a
part time clerk as well. He wanted to make as much money as possible as he
wanted to have his own apartment. But the main reason is to move out of his aunt
and her goddaughter’s house. His aunt always encourages him to marry her
goddaughter who is very ugly. Her name is Lulu and is very urgh. I don’t know
how to describe to you but just imagine your father dressing up as a woman. I
don’t dare to describe too much because I’m afraid that his boss would scold
Alec for not doing his work and blame me.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Street
I cannot escape life. I MUST talk about Daniel, otherwise, eyeballs of his fans
will jump on me and beat me. That will not only be 152 eyeballs. That’ll be
millions of eyeballs. Just imagine! Whole flood of eyeballs whooshing after
me… gulp, scary…
Daniel wore a bright vest and was sweeping the streets. He was also wearing a
big sun hat, which shielded his face from the public. He also wore sun glasses
and had black cloth wrapped around his chin. He was just sweeping when Theresa
and Vicki passed by.
“Vicki, do you think the dress that I’ve bought just now suitable for the
graduation prom?” “Of course. But I think I’ll look better if you wear
your silver rose earrings and necklace with it.” “No! I’ll look so awful.
I’m thinking of wearing my white gold rose earrings and necklace!” They were
in deep conversation when a broom swept on their shoes. “Hey! What are you
doing? Sweeping on my shoes?” Theresa argued. Daniel lifted his hat up and
gasped. He had never seen such a cute woman before. He liked her instantly.
“Sorry, sorry.” He apologized and bent down to rub Theresa’s shoes.
“What are you doing? You’re dirtying my shoe!” She shrieked and stomp off.
“Theresa! See what you’ve done!” Vicki screamed to him. “Sorry.” He
apologized but his eyes were still on Theresa. Vicki looked at him and noticed
he was staring at Theresa. She wanted to see who’s this guy that looked at her
sister so devotedly. So she took off his hat and widened her eyes. It took her
some time to shriek. Look at your watch or clock now… 3…2…1… “Arghhh!!!”
She screamed and ran away to catch up with Theresa. “Theresa, you’ll never
believe how that road sweeper look. He’s sooooo…” “Ugly?” Theresa
asked. “Suave!” Vicki cried with excitement. “Huh?” She looked back and
saw the road sweeper still looking at her. She giggled a little and covered her
ears. Vicki looked at her and looked back at him. “A vehicle!” She shouted
to him but the vehicle banged into him.
Vicki and Theresa’s house
Vicki was helping Daniel clean his wound while Theresa sat there and laughed.
“Can’t believe someone got knocked down because of me.” She looked at his
embarrassed face and giggled. “I didn’t know you can get that injured by
just being knocked down.” Daniel’s face grew from red to flushing hot red.
Smoke began to rise from his head. I think he’s hurt and is now getting very
angry. “No lah! Hey, narrator, don’t make others misunderstand, ok? He’s
just embarrassed.” Theresa told me. Sorry loh! Theresa continued to mock at
him, “Next time don’t stand in the middle of a pavement, ok?” Vicki looked
at her and said, “Don’t say so many things and make it sound so serious, ok?
Otherwise you’ll be the one who let the readers misunderstand. He’s only
knocked down by a bicycle, no big deal!” What? He was only knocked down by a
bicycle? Oh, my… To tell you the truth, I also don’t know.
Vicki put down the cotton wool and said, “You wound will be ok in a few
days.” Daniel thanked her and took out his glasses to wear. The glasses was
very old fashion kind. Those that your father wear in the 60s and 70s. Ask them
about it. “You wear that?” Theresa laughed. Daniel looked embarrassed again
and Vicki asked another question. “What’s your name?” “Daniel Chan.”
“Daniel Chan? Are you the Hong Kong superstar singer? Hey, No wonder you look
so much like him! I want your autograph!” Theresa cried excitedly. “I’m
Daniel Chan but not Chan Xiao Dong. I’m Chan Da Dong.” “Da Dong?” Vicki
and Theresa cried before falling to the ground. “Hey, get up! Didn’t you say
you want my autograph?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a while
“Daniel, why are you a road sweeper? You’re too young to be one!” Vicki
asked. Daniel explained everything but he left out the part that he’s actually
from a very very very very very very very very very very very very very rich
family. Vicki took pity on him and let him stay in their house and let him
study. Theresa was a bit touched by his story but she didn’t show it out too
much, So when Vicki let him stay, she didn’t say anything. But Daniel rejected
the offer… of studying. The sisters don’t understand why but agreed anyway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Big Bank
“59203, 59204, 59205…” Jimmy was chanting. Thought he was counting money?
Nah, he’s counting sheep. “59209, 59210. Hai (sigh) when will I ever fall
asleep?” He said to himself. There’s been no customer this whole morning.
Then, the doors opened. He brightened up and sat up straight. “Good Morning,
Sir.” The man nodded and said, “May I look for Mr. Bobby Boss?” Jimmy
sighed but called out. “Manager! Someone looking for you!” The manager came
out and greeted the man. So now you know what is his manager’s name. Nothing
funny I know. It just came to my mind…
Just as he was about to count sheep again, Theresa walked in. Jimmy’s face lit
up. “Your ATM is not working properly.” She said. “ATM? Does it mean
‘Always Took-a-fancy-on Me’?” Theresa was annoyed and gave a dirty look on
him. He said again. “If you didn’t say anything, I’ll assume…”
“Assume what!? It makes an ass out of u and me. Shut up and just fix the ATM
machine.” Jimmy nodded furiously but suddenly thought that he did not know how
to fix it. But as not to lose face, he went out. “Um…” He said and
pretended to work on it. “It’s done.” Theresa looked at him suspiciously
and inserted the card. Suddenly the machine popped out 10 $1000 notes. “See,
you only want $500 and there are $10 000. Isn’t that great? You’ll have more
money now.” Jimmy said excitedly. “Are you Der (dump) or what? Your bank
really have problem! How on earth will there be $1000 notes?” “Oh yeah.
There’s no $1000 notes. My bank really have problem.” He said. “Forget it,
I’m in a hurry.” She said and walked away. “Hey, Why don’t I give you a
lift? I have a scooter.” Jimmy called. “Really? That’ll be so much faster
than taxi. Ok.” She smiled. “What’s your name?” He asked. “Theresa.
You?” “Jimmy.”
“This is your scooter?” Theresa asked, not believing her eyes. “Yes. Come
on, take your helmet.” Jimmy handed her a helmet. “You’ll sure be more
than early with this.” He said and went on it. Theresa went up uneasily.
“Lets go!” He said and wagged his feet. It was a skate scooter! “Um…
Jimmy, are you sure? There’ve been a lot a lot of reports about injury riding
this thing.” “Rest assure. I’m very experienced. I ride this to work
everyday.” The skate scooter was gliding on the road and Theresa’s arms were
tightly clung to Jimmy’s waist nervously. Jimmy grinned when he looked down
and saw Theresa’s arms tightly to his waist. “Do you like money?” She
asked suddenly. “I hate them!” “Why? I thought that since you worked in a
bank, you must have loved money a lot.” “I touched them everyday that I just
hate them so much. You can’t imagine how I hate them. Every time I touched
them, I feel like tearing them into pieces and burn them in fire. After that,
I’ll throw the ash into strong acid and let them burn. Not enough, I’ll pour
the acid into the fire again to evaporate it. After it’s evaporated, I’ll on
a big fan so that all the evaporated acid will swirl and swirl and swirl and
swirl and swirl and swirl and swirl…” “Watch out!” Theresa called but
too bad, Jimmy swirl and swirl until he banged into a tree. “…and swirl and
swirl…” He was still swirling. Theresa looked at her watch and said,
“Sorry Jimmy. I’m really in a hurry. Bye!” “Swirl and swirl and swirl
and swirl and…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bus Interchange, 9.00pm
Alec was working for the late shift and was in the information counter resting.
Then, a woman came to the window and asked. “I lost my wallet on bus no. 13
just now. I don’t know if you could open the doors and let me search for
it?” Alec knew that bus no 13 was his bus so he said. “Of course, follow
me.” But as he was about to walk out, he noticed Vicki’s beautiful features.
He leaned forward to take a closer look but he banged onto the glass.
“Sorry.” He smiled and went out with her. They reached the bus and began to
search for it. They were back from each other and when they move backwards,
their backsides bumped into each other. They stood up in awkwardness.
“Sorry.” They both said. Alec smiled uneasily and scratched his head. Vicki
also smiled uneasily. Then, she saw something familiar. “ I found my
wallet!” She cried excitedly and jumped out the bus without even saying
goodbye. “Forget it Alec. You’re just a bus driver, she won’t like you.
She’s so pretty, she must have a boyfriend already. Don’t even dream about
it.” He said to himself and sighed…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Footnotes: Will Vicki fall for Alec? Will Theresa like Daniel or Jimmy more?
Stay tuned… Anyway, this time I won’t tell a proverb. I’ll tell you a
joke. It’s not related to money, but I find it funny so I’ll tell you.
A Chinese woman was married to a Spanish and moved to Spain with him. One time,
her husband was overseas and she went to the market. She wanted to buy Chicken
thigh but she doesn’t know how to speak Spanish. So she lifted her dress and
showed the stall holder. The next day, she wanted to buy chicken breast meat so
she unbuttoned her blouse. The third day, her husband came back home and she
wanted to buy bananas…

you thinking? =) gala
“Theresa, I think we have a problem.” Vicki announced in
Theresa’s bedroom. “What?” “I think living with a man is a problem.”
“Why?” “I think wee should rent a room.” “Rent? Daniel doesn’t even
have a job, he won’t have money to pay!” “I’m not talking about Daniel.
I’m talking about rooms.” “Rooms? Who’s that? Your new boyfriend?”
“NO! I’m talking about renting our room to another man so that Daniel can
have a friend. So whatever he does, he will look for that friend.” “Why? You
don’t like him?” “No. It’s just that sometimes he have some ‘men’
problems he won’t ask us.” “Sure.” “Great! We’ll let off a room!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the other hand, maybe the left one, Alec was walking home from work. He saw a
flyer. “Beautiful View, Near Blah-blah Bus Interchange and with a balcony.
Please come and see!” “Blah-blah bus interchange. I can walk to work. Then I
can wake up later. Great.” He thought and went to the address given.
“Ding-Dong!” The door opened. Guess who? I let you
guess………………(It’s getting exiting!)…… You won’t believe
this…………………… You know what? It’s!…… someone we don’t
know…(you thought it was Vicki or Theresa huh?) “Excuse me, is this flat
for…” “Hey there! Welcome to my house. You come to see right? Come in!”
A man greeted him warmly. “This is my bedroom. The theme is elegant black. It
is painted in black and everything is black.” “I can see that.” “And
it’s decorated with glow-in-the-dark stars. Isn’t it beautiful? Now to the
next room, it’s my baby daughter’s room…” The man kept on showing his
rooms to Alec. Finally, after having the tour, they sat down and the man serve
him tea. The man was talking about how much he had spent on renovating the house
and how each furniture came by until Alec could not stand it. He opened his
mouth and asked. “How much is the rent?” The man looked puzzled by his
question. “Rent? What rent?” “Or you mean you want to sell it?” “Sell?
Rent? What are you talking about?” Alec showed him the flyer and said, “You
asked me to see the house.” “Yeah. I only said see, when did I say rent or
sell?” “You only want me to see?” “Yes. I just moved in, I want people
to see how beautiful my house. I didn’t say rent.” The man smiled at him as
though this is really a fact. “What?” Alec was somehow surprised. How can
there be such a proud person that actually give out flyers just to let people
SEE his house. He stood up and went to the door. The man stopped him and gave
him a piece of paper. “Wait. Can you fill in this survey? I want to know what
others feel for my house.” Alec smiled uneasily. “No thanks.”
He was mad. He wasted so much time on that man’s house and yet he only said
it’s not for sale or rental. Suddenly he banged into someone who was holding
some coins. All the coins dropped. “Sorry!” He said and helped to pick up
the coins. Then, he noticed a coin rolled towards a drain. He wanted to step on
it but he missed and kicked the coin into the drain. “Look what you’ve
done!” The woman shouted. Alec looked up and saw Theresa. He stood up and
crossed his arms. “So it’s you!” “Oh, so it’s that nerdy bus driver.
How unlucky!” “What you mean? You still own me 55 cents!” “What? You
still remember that? Ha! You’re so money-minded!” “So?” They kept on
bickering until Alec was real angry and went off.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Vicki’s house
Alec was walking along the streets when a scarf flew down and landed in front of
him. He picked it up and smelled it. The smell was just so nice. He looked up
and saw a woman waving at him asking him to return the scarf. He went up and
pressed the doorbell. Vicki opened it and Alec noticed that she was his dream
woman. Alec returned the scarf and Vicki offered to let him come into her house
to have a drink. Alec stepped in and saw beautiful furniture and neat
surroundings. “Here’s your drink.” Vicki said and handed him a glass of
soft drink. “What your name?” Vicki asked. “Alec Su. Yours?” Vicki
thought about it and thought that Alec Su this name is familiar but she
doesn’t know where she had heard it before. “I’m Vicki Chiu.” They
chatted for a while before Vicki finally brought up the subject. “We have a
room to rent.” “Really? I just need a room!” So they decided to let Alec
stay in her house. Alec was about to ask whether she have a boyfriend when
Daniel came out. “Hi Vicki!” He saw Alec and smiled to him. Alec’s heart
sank and thought, ‘She have a boyfriend…’
~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a few days
Alec officially moved into Vicki’s house. Vicki and Daniel welcomed him and
showed him his room. They had dinner together and chatted. Vicki brought up the
subject of siblings. “Oh yeah, Vicki, you said that you have a sister.
Where’s she. I’ll like to meet her.” Alec suggested. “Oh, she’s a
university student, so she’s very busy in the campus. But she’ll come back
soon.” Vicki said. Just then, the door clicked. Theresa is back! Like real,
it’s the TV lah! They chatted on other topics happily and finally all fell
asleep on the table.

Yeah. Just shut up and write properly next time ok? From your bro with a ther.”
He picked up the phone. “Hello?” There was no answer. “Hello? Strange.”
He said to himself. Suddenly, he exclaimed, “Oh yeah! I forgot to dial the
numbers!” With that, he dialed the numbers. “Hello? May I speak to Simon
with e, oops! Sorry. Simone please?” ‘I’m really influenced with that
Bernice, always call Simone Simon with a e!’ He thought. “Hello?” A female
voice greeted. “Hello. This is Jimmy. Why did you call me?” “Jimmy! I miss
you so much! Can I meet you?” “No! I’m busy nowadays.” “You met a new
girl?” Simone sniffed. “No lah… I mean yes, but no. Aiyah, I don’t know.

Vicki’s house
One night, Alec was in a dark room holding a torchlight against a book reading a
scary novel … ‘The night was dark, the moon was lit brightly. Suddenly!
Footsteps were heard. Clock clock clock… Suddenly! It stopped. And Suddenly!
It started again. This time, it came closer and closer… Suddenly! It stopped.
A figure bent down. He looked up slowly and grinned evilly… green lights shone
below him… Suddenly! I realized that he was tying his shoelace… I heaved a
sigh of relieve and Suddenly! Someone is knocking on the door now, go and
open!’ “Knock Knock Knock…” The knocks on the door was loud and clear.
“It can’t be true…” He breathed. He nervously went to the door and
creaked it open very slowly… Alec placed the torchlight under his chin as he
thought if there were ghost, he could scare them off. “Al…ec…” The voice
outside cried. “Al…ec!” The voice now was cold and icy, just like a
ghost… “Open the door and let me… in… Al…ec…!” The door was now
opened until Alec could see what’s happening outside. Suddenly…
“ARGHHHH!!!!” And they both leapt backwards. “Al…ec?” “Dan…iel?”
“Why are you imitating me?” Daniel asked. “Didn’t you call me Al…ec?”
‘I’m having a sore throat, I can’t talk properly.” “Ok… You sound
scary you know?” “You look scary you know.” “I know.” “I also
know.” “I know first.” “No, I know first.” “I hear you first.”
“But light travel faster than sound, so I know first.” “No, I have no
light, you cannot see. I know first.”
Then a voice said, “Hey!” They both jumpped and turned around. “Vicki? Hai
(sigh)” “What who knows when about what in where is about what?” “Are
you saying a tongue twister?” “No. Anyway what are you talking about who
knows what when about what in where is about what in here is not where is who
knows about what in here can I hear? You get it?” “You good boyfriend go and
scare me!” “Boyfriend?” Daniel and Vicki both exclaimed. “Yeah. And
don’t exclaim ok? And don’t tell me you’re not couples and tell me that
I’ve misunderstood. This is the oldest trick in the book and I’m already
very sick of this kind of exclamation in movies, series and most commonly,
FANFICTION!(no offence, ok?)You make me feel so ‘pai say’ (embarrassed in
‘Singlish’ Singapore english…nvm if u don’t understand). Especially in
front of some many readers.”
“We’re just going to say that.” Vicki told him and smiled. “What? And
make me feel ‘PAI SAY’?” “Sorry, but we’re really not lovers. Sorry if
this is the oldest trick in the book and you’re already very sick of this kind
of exclamation in movies, series and most commonly, FANFICTION!(no offence,
ok?)And also sorry to make you feel so embarrassed. Ok?” “Do you sing
rap?” “Wrap what?” “Never mind.” Alec was just so happy that Vicki is
still not attached. He decided that he still had a chance… hehehe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daniel’s room
“Tell me honestly brother,” “My name is Daniel.” “Ok, whatever,
brother…” “I’m DANIEL!” “Ok! Daniel Brother…” “I’m Daniel
CHAN. Not Daniel Brother.” “Ok! Just shut up ok? I have to ask you something
very important. “What is it?” “Since you’ve lived here for a longer
time, do you know what Vicki likes?” “I know!” “What?” Alec brightened
up and sat up straight. “I don’t know what she likes but we can secretly
find out.” ‘How?” “Listen to her conversations.” “Great….but wait,
that isn’t so good you know?” “I know, but we only listen to what she
likes, other’s we shut our ears.” “Ok. Let’s start from today!” Since
then, they began to listen to Vicki’s conversation on phones, with the
neighbour, with Daniel… except, they didn’t know Theresa is coming back
soon… Better say uh-oh for Alec. Remember to say, huh?
“Sis! I’m back!” Theresa called cheerfully. Alec found the voice familiar
and peeked out. “Sis, have you found someone to rent the room?” “Yes,
I’ve found a very good choice. He’s also very good friends with Daniel.
“Ok. Great. Where’s he?” “He’s inside Daniel’s room, talking to
him.” “What’s his name?” “Alec.” “Alec? So familiar…” Theresa
put down her bag and went to the kitchen. “…” “Hey Alec, you’re
supposed to say Uh-oh now.” “Is it? Ok, Uh… wait. I thought the readers
help me say already?” “But did they really say or not?” “Maybe, I trust
them. I believe that they did.” “No, they didn’t. I didn’t hear them!”
‘Daniel, if you want people to read our story, you must trust them.” “Ok.
I suppose that you all did.” So, did you say Uh-oh? Anyway that’s not
important. “It’s her! She’s the one who fight with me for the bus fare and
she’s also the one who blame me when I accidentally kick her coin into the
drain. I was helping her ok?” “Ok. So she’s your enemy?” “YES.”
“Can’t believe that she’s actually Vicki’s sister. So different!”
“Yeah Yeah Yeah.” “Let’s go and greet them. Although you’re her enemy,
you’re now living under one roof.” “Ok!” Alec reluctantly went with him.
“Hi Theresa.” “Hi.” She smiled but when she saw Alec, her face turned
black. “Hey! What are you doing here?” “I’m now your house mate. Hahaha.
And you cannot do anything about it because we’ve already sign the papers.”
Theresa’s face now become even blacker. “I don’t care about you smart
‘Alec’!” “Thank you for saying I’m smart!” “Shut UP!” “You
shut up!” Vicki saw that and stopped them. “There’s a fifty cent coin over
there.” Upon hearing that, both of them rushed to the place Vicki pointed.
“Where?” Theresa asked. “Here.” Vicki took out a coin. “You two are no
longer kids. Don’t fight and live in peace ok?” “OK.” They guiltily
said. “Fine!” Vicki said and Vicki and Alec both took out a one dollar coin.
“Why?” Vicki stared at them. “Fine.” They echoed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jimmy’s house
When he came back, he found Simone sitting on his sofa. “Simone? What are you
doing here?” “Hi, Jimmy.” “What are you doing here?” He repeated the
question. “Nothing. I just came across this photo I found in the old box of
things you gave me. So I came to ask you.” She showed Jimmy a photo of Jimmy
and another girl with his hand around her. “Why? Why did you betray me?” And
she started to cry. “What…” Jimmy was still no really knowing what’s
going on and asked her, “What’s the problem?” “You still have the cheek
to ask me back! This photo showed me that you’ve betrayed me. Think I’ve
trusted you so much, give you everything I have, and now you betrayed me!”
“I didn’t even know when I had taken this photo?” “What? You forgot?
Impossible! It is so real. This photo is really taken by you!” “Ok Sorry.”
“Sorry no cure.” Jimmy stared at the photo before exclaiming. “Oh! This is
Bernice! I remember now.” “I don’t care. You took this photo with our
rival film. Silver photo. You’ve always used our film golden photo. You’ve
hurt me too much!” “Ok. Next time I’ll use golden photo ok?”
So now you know Simone is a photo film seller from “golden film.” Not
girlfriend or wife ok?

Alec and Daniel was peeking inside Vicki’s room. “Are you sure?” Alec
asked again, although he knew Daniel already answered 37 times. “This is the
37th time I’ve answered you.” “No, it should be 38th.” “But I talking
about not counting on this time.” “But you should count. It’s 38th.”
“Ok, whatever. Forget it.” “Ok.” Alec said and continue to peek in.
Then, Vicki came close to the door. They quickly hide against the wall. They
heard a bang. The door was closed. Just then, the phone in Vicki’s room rang.
“Hello? Yeah… Thanks… really?… great.” Alec took out a note pad and
start writing. “Yeah… I know. Can you buy “shit” for me?… Yes. I’ll
like to try different shit from different countries.” “Shit?” Both Daniel
and Alec gasped. “Shit… Oh my god. She likes shit.” Daniel recalled. “I
know. She already said that.” “Maybe that one is meant for her plants?”
Alec asked, hoping it was true. Daniel shrugged and turn his ears to the door.
“Really? Great. You know sometimes Shit can really help me. It’s zero in
calorie and I can even eat it when I’m on diet.” “Oh my god.” “I
can’t believe this.” Then men was more astonished than ever. Vicki likes to
eat the… shit from the… toilet bowl?
(Imagination) “Hubby, can you take the shit that is fresh from our little
baby?” “Ok.” Alec answered and took a spoon and scooped it up onto a bowl.
“Here, honey. Here’s your shit.” “Great. Hey, it’s still so fresh and
it’s still warm! Is this the watery mushy type? It is! Great! It’s just like
eating ice cream… Mmmm… Grrrreat!” She rolled her tongue. Vicki licked her
lips and continued eating it. After she had finished the last scoop, she licked
the spoon and the bowl. “Hubby, this is getting so grrreat! Can you fridge
some shit for me? And please get the frozen shit. It’s in a pink bowl. I
believe that it was from China. Um… in case you don’t know, it’s a hard
type, not mushy type. Ok? Thanks hubby.” Vicki just sat there while Alec
brought her the bowl. “Grrreat! A hard shit after a soft shit……Grrreat!”
(End)
Alec and Daniel shudder and gulp. Daniel even felt like throwing up. “Are you
sure she likes that?” Alec asked, with his face green. “I don’t know.
Let’s listen more, maybe she meant something else.” “Ok.” They put their
ears against the door and listen. “How come there’s no sound?” Alec asked.
Daniel shrugged and suddenly felt something was watching him. Then he notice the
shadows. “Alec…” He shivered and pulled Alec’s sleeves. Alec also
noticed the shadows and they both slowly look up… Vicki and Theresa was
staring at them with the arms crossed. “ARGH!!! GHOST!” They both ran away
but their collar was pulled back. “Where are you going?” Theresa asked.
“To burn some incense money. You know it’s the hungry ghost festival
yesterday and there are ghosts around.” Alec replied shakily. “Why did you
listen to what I was talking?” Vicki looked at them. “Um… We just
accidentally slip and fall and land on the floor outside your room. We were
about to get up when we saw you.” Daniel defended. “Really?” The sisters
faked a smile and there was black everywhere. The building suddenly a very loud
scream. “ARGH!!!”

University of Singing Paul
Theresa was in the cafeteria having her favorite small cheese and bacon pizza
with ultra-slim diet Soda with 3 ice cubes inside, melting and fizzing away. On
her left, is another favorite of hers. It was a peach ice cream made with
ultra-slim milk and man made sweetener with bitter chocolate toppings and real
peaches with no cholesterol, coloring and preservatives. “Ummmmm…” She
enjoyed her pizza and peach ice cream. Suddenly, a stimulating smell pasted
through her. She pinched her nose and complaint. “YEEEEEEE!!!! What’s that
smell?” She looked up and saw a whole rain of rose petals falling from the
ceiling. She instantly blocked the petals from falling into her food and
pinching her nose to block that stimulating smell. When all the petals stopped
falling, a whole bunch of roses appeared in front of her, causing her to jerk
backwards and sneeze. “What are you doing?” She asked, irritated. Jimmy
appeared and grinned, “Surprise!” “Jimmy?” “Yup. You like it?”
“NO! I’m sensitive to the smell of the rose and allergic to flower pores.
And now, it’s my favorite meal and all your stupid petals fell into it. How am
I suppose to eat?” Theresa crossed her arms and stared away. Jimmy was more
guilty than ever. His eyes were watery and his nose was already sniffing.
“What, are you crying already?” Theresa looked at him. “Cry baby.” She
whispered under her breath. “I’m not crying. It’s just that I’m also
allergic to flower pores and sensitive to the smell of roses. But I thought you
would like it, so I went to buy no matter how it irritates me. But, who knows
you’re same as me. The flower pores are just making me feel itchy. Bye.” He
knew he was crying. He knew he was a cry baby. But he can’t cry in front of
his dream girl, right? So he ran away. “Theresa… you’ve broken my
heart.” He mummer. Theresa watch him from afar and start to feel a little
sorry for him…

Chapter 6
The next day, Theresa bought a big bunch of roses and had it delivered to
Jimmy’s bank. “Who’s Jimmy?” The deliverer asked when he stepped into
the bank. Then he saw a very sexy and pretty bank teller. He went up to her and
complimented. “Hey, pretty lady. Someone gave you flowers.” “Is it?” She
was very happy and looked at the card. “Jimmy? I’m not Jimmy! He is!” She
pointed at the snoring Jimmy. Another drip of saliva dripped off his corner of
his mouth and dripped to the table. “He?” The deliverer gave a dirty look at
him. “Jimmy! Boss is here!” The bank teller shouted and Jimmy woke up and
sat straight. “Hi boss, good morning!” He greeted and shook hands with air.
“Someone is giving flowers to you.” “That means boss is not here? Oh…
ok.” He said flatly and fall back onto the table and continue his snoring and
dripping of saliva. “Theresa?” The bank teller looked at the card. Is
Theresa your gay friend or a girl?” Upon hearing Theresa, Jimmy shot up and
ran to llok at the card. “Theresa!” He snatched the flowers and smiled. Just
then, Theresa stepped in. “Sorry.” Jimmy looked up and smiled even border.
“I’m so sorry that I made you angry, I’m so sorry that I rejected your
kindness. I’m sorry that you’re sensitive to flower pores. I’m sorry that
I criticized you. I’m sorry that…” Theresa was lowering her head. “You
did not fall in love with me?” Jimmy brightened up his face. Theresa blushed
and looked at him. “I’m sorry that I did not fall in love with you but now,
I…” She looked away with face very red. “Ok, I forgive you for everything,
but did you fall in love with me now?” He held her hands. “I… love
you…” Theresa smiled to herself and to Jimmy. “Yeah!!!” He was so happy!
Theresa accepted him! “…NOT!” Theresa suddenly said and returned to her
stern face. “What makes you feel that I will like you? What makes you feel
that I’ll accept you? What makes you feel that I had fall for you? What makes
you feel that I’m sorry? What makes you feel that I’ll like your rose
petals? And what makes you feel that I had sent you those roses?” Theresa
pointed on his shoulders. Jimmy was astonished! “You mean that you don’t
like me? You mean that you won’t accept me? You mean that you did not fall for
me? You mean that you’re not sorry? You mean that you does not like the rose
petals? You mean that… you didn’t send the roses?” “Yes to every
answer.” “No!!!!!!” Jimmy shouted and woke up from his dream.
“Phew… it was only a dream.” He looked at his clock and started working.
“Jimmy! Theresa sent you flowers.” “What? She really did?” He opened his
eyes wide and took the flowers. “To Jimmy. Sorry I made you sad and angry last
time. Hope you will forgive me… from Theresa.” That’s what the card says.
“Of course I forgive you…” Jimmy said and began to talk to the card…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vicki’s house
Alec had a bruise on his left eye and Daniel had a bruise on his right eye. “Awww.”
They said together. “I think we better don’t listen to Vicki’s
conversation or we’ll get another bruise on the other eye.” Alec said. “I
agree.” Daniel nodded and they smiled slyly. “1,2,3, go.” They whispered
and crept to outside Vicki’s room. They placed their ears against the door and
listen. “Yeah? You know what I want for my birthday?… My birthday is on 30th
of Feb. Yup… I want alphabet macaroni…” “Alphabet macaroni? So easy and
cheap? Wow her expectations are sooo low…” Daniel commented. “I can buy
later. I think I’ll buy her the 2kg type. Then she can eat it everyday.”
Daniel nodded. “We forgot shit!” Alec suddenly remember. “Oh yeah… what
should we do?” Then he found Alec staring at him. “No…” Daniel shook his
head. “Please!!! Help me…. Just one time ok?” “Aww. Alright…”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eve of Vicki’s birthday
Alec looked at his wrapped Alphabet macaroni. “Great… Vicki’s going to
like this so much.” On the bed, Daniel in whining in agony. “Alec, you
stuffed me with so much food!” “I had to do that otherwise you won’t have
any shit tomorrow. Vicki only like fresh ones.” “Ok… What a weird eating
habit Vicki have. The thought of it makes me puke.” Daniel pretended to puke.
“Shut up, ok?” “Ok.” Just then, Vicki and Theresa went passed their
rooms, chatting. “But it’s so hard to find!” Theresa said. “I know. But
if he loves me so much. I bet he’s going to get someone to make especially for
me. Tomorrow we’ll have Alphabet macaroni…” “But you say you only liked
the alphabets to be in ‘Tw Cen MT Condensed Extra bold’ Font. There’s only
one kind of font for the all the macaroni which is ‘Comic Sans MS Caps’ Now
you want small letters not Caps. You can see how hard is it.” “So? I only
like that kind of font.”
“What?” Alec gasped. He seized out the wrapping paper and looked at his
alphabet macaroni. “It is indeed Comic Sans MS caps. Oh… what should I do?
She only likes Tw Cen MT Condensed Extra bold…” “Why don’t you make it
for her now? There are only 6 hours to the next morning 6am.” Daniel
suggested. “Ok, I’ll make now…” Alec said as he hurried out to the
kitchen and found some flour. He started and put the flour and water and made it
into a big dough. He rolled it into a flat piece and cut it into strips. As he
was a man who had never cooked before, just this simple chores cost him 3 hours.
Then, he slowly and carefully shape them into the font. “A… Daniel, what is
A like in the font Vicki likes?” “Tw Cen MT Condensed Extra bold.” Daniel
added on. “No, Daniel, just A, not so much.” “Looks like this.” He wrote
it on a piece of paper. “Ok ,thanks.” After he had finished 26 alphabets, he
was already exhausted and cost him 1 more hour. “Alec, you can’t possibly
make only 26 letters right? You must make at least 2 kg otherwise you’ll be
beaten down by your rival.” “What?” Alec frowned and said, “For the girl
I like, I must be strong, I must not be beaten down so fast. To keep the
promises and the laws of myself, to serve god and Vicki faithfully and do my
duties as a boy who courts a girl.” “Are you saying your brownie promise or
what?” Daniel reminded him and suddenly Alec found himself wearing a brownie
uniform. “Is it? I didn’t.” Oh yes you did. All the readers saw. “No.
The readers did not, it’s just your illusion. Don’t be so imaginative ok?”
That’s called creativity, not imaginative. Anyway just entertain the readers
and let them see you in brownie uniform, ok? “No way, I’ll lose my pride as
a actor.” No, you’re not actor in this story. You’re just a character.
“Are you Arguing with the narrator?” Daniel asked. “Well, she started it
first.” Alec complained. I didn’t, you did. “No, I did not, you started by
saying I wear a brownie uniform. Which I didn't.” Ok, whatever, Alec Suuuu,
just continue, ok? “Are you just being sarcastic?” No, I’m not. “Alec,
stop arguing with the narrator, ok?” “Fine!” Alec said. By arguing with
me, he lost another hour already. With Daniel’s help, they managed to finish 1
kg of Alphabet macaroni with the font Tw Cen MT Condensed Extra bold. “1 Kg
finished!” Daniel cheered. “Daniel, can you go to the toilet now?”
“Now?”
“Yes, now. Quick, otherwise when Vicki wakes up, she’ll find
out and it will not be a surprise anymore.” Alec explained. “Ok, ok…
Whatever…” Daniel groaned and dragged into the toilet. “Shh! Don’t drag!
You’ll wake her up.” Daniel rolled his eyes and continue his way.
Outside the toilet. “Daniel, are you done?” “Not yet, hey I got a lot!
Wait, here’s another one. UMMM…” “Quick! Vicki is stirring!” “Why
don’t you go and shut the door of Vicki’s room and our room?” Daniel
suggested. “Ok.” Alec went to shut the doors and said to Daniel, “I’m
preparing for the alphabet macaroni now! When you’re done, you know what to do
right?” “Yeah, I know. Ok, bye!” “Bye!” “Bonjour!” “Bonjour is
hello in French!” “It also means bye.” “It’s better to say Bon
Voyage!” “Ok, Bon Voyage to the kitchen!” “Yi Lu Shuan Fong(Bon Voyage
in Chinese)!” Will you guys just stop it? Vicki is waking up! “Ok!
Whatever!” Alec said as he trotted to the kitchen. After he had made another
kg of it, he was really tired and fell asleep. Daniel appeared later, holding a
net with something inside. He tiptoed to the kitchen and noticed Alec, sleeping.
“Shh!” He tried to wake Alec. “SHH!” He made that sound again.
“Quiet… I’m trying to sleep… I’m very tired.” Alec groaned and
continued to sleep. Daniel had no choice but the weight of the “something”
in the net is really heavy. So he opened the freezer door and tossed the mushy,
watery, mucky, yucky thing into the freezer. “I hope Vicki likes hard kind
instead of mushy kind. Then before he left the kitchen, he whispered, “Alec,
I’m just helping you to woo the girl you like. If she blames you for giving
her shit, please don’t blame me… ok?”
~~~~~~~~~~~
Theresa yawned and strolled to the kitchen. “Today is Jie’s birthday.
Luckily I didn’t forget to buy lots of shit chocolate for her. She walked in
and saw Alec sleeping on the table. She crept to him slowly and suddenly bang on
the table. “What’s happening!” Alec shot up. “Sleepy pig! … (change
tone to very nice and soft) It’s already 8am and you are stilllllllll
sleeping. And you’re sleeping on my table some more… how you enjoy life!
DON’T YOU NEED TO GO TO WORK???” She suddenly stiffen and strengthen her
voice. Alec jumped. “I took leave today.” “Why?” “It’s Vicki’s
birthday today.” “SO??? IS THAT ANY OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS?” Theresa
shouted out and banged the table again. This time, Alec really jumped out of his
wits. “Hey, buddy, why did you jump out?” His wits said. “Well, I jumped
out of my wits, remember?” “Oh yeah, well, jump back!” “Ok.” And he
jumped back to his wits. “No… it’s not any of my damn business, but I
would like to celebrate with her… And give her presents.” “Oh… you like
her?” “Just… shut up.” Alec blushed and turned around. “Wimpo!”
Theresa smirked and went to make coffee. Alec decided not to stay and walked
away back to his own room.
Theresa drank her coffee and said to herself. “Ow… I’m so hungry… better
find something to eat.” She excitedly skipped to the refrigerator and opened
the freezer door. A WHOOSH! of foul, unpleasant, pungent, smelly smell rushed to
Theresa’s nose. “What the… Ahhh!” And she fainted. Just then, Vicki came
out and decided to look what is going on. She went to the freezer and opened the
door with her casual expression. Suddenly, “ARGGG!” She fell on top of
Theresa who was about to sit up again. She was compressed by Vicki’s weight
and vomited white foam. Alec in his room rushed out to see what is going on with
the ladies. “What’s going on?” He ran up to the freezer and opened the
door……………………………(after some shocking
silence)…………………………
“ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! SSSSSSHHHHHHHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!” He fainted
on top of Vicki and Theresa which cause both of them to vomit out white foam…
Daniel also rushed out to see the commotion. “Hey, guys…” He opened the
freezer door and just smiled. “What’s the big deal? It’s just shit…”
He grinned and scoop out some with his hand. “Hey, it became hard…” He
took out but once it was taken out, the hardness disappeared and dripped onto
Vicki’s and Theresa’s face. Vicki’s mouth who was just
“coincidentally” opened and… you know what…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“OUT!” Vicki and Theresa threw out their luggage on their bodies.
“Vic…” Alec pleaded. “Shut up and out!” Vicki sternly. “T…”
“Shut up and out!” Theresa crossed her arms. “Ok… Shut up and out. But
wait, we’re already out…” “Just shut up and scram will you?” Theresa
and Vicki shouted. Daniel and Alec had to only scram… “What should we do?”
Daniel asked. Alec gave a cold stare at him and flung his head to the other
side. “You still have the cheek to ask?” “Why?” “Who call you to put
the shit directly to the freezer?” “I’m sorry Alec… I knew Vicki
wouldn’t like shit. Who likes to eat it anyway?” “No, my meaning is, you
should have put it in a box and wrap it up. Then, it’ll be a surprise. Now you
put like that, there’s no surprise already.” “So you mean, Vicki threw us
out because we did not give them a surprise?” “Yeah! Correct!” “Oh! So
if we give them a surprise they’ll forgive us?” “Yes! How nerd of you that
now then you know.” “Sorry lah!” “Ok. Except if I call you stupid nerd
100 times.” “I wouldn’t mind.” “Ok. Stupid nerd Stupid nerd Stupid
nerd Stupid nerd Stupid nerd Stupid nerd Stupid nerd…” Then they bumped into
a man walking down the staircase. “Sorry.” He replied and walked to
Vicki’s door. He was holding a bouquet of flowers and a big bag. “Is he the
secret wooer?” Daniel whispered. “Let’s ask him.” Alec walked to the man
and asked, “Are you the secret wooer?” The man turned around and stared at
them. “Huh?” “Are you the secret wooer?” “What wooer?” “Are you
wooing Vicki?” The man gave a little annoying frown and turned back to press
the bell. “He must be the secret wooer. Let’s beat him or you won’t stand
a chance.” Daniel suggested. Alec agreed and they said, “1,2,3 Go!” (Push
push, Beat beat, storm storm) “We finished him already.” Alec clapped his
hands. Just then, Vicki opened the door and gasped in shock. “What are you 2
doing?” “We… ummm, he beat us first.” Then, the man woke and said,
“Miss, I’m just a delivery boy, why do I deserve this punishment? Anyway,
please sign here. Someone gave you a present and some flowers. But too bad
it’s spoiled already… I’m sorry, miss.” Vicki stared at Alec and Daniel
coldly. “What do you think you’re doing?” “I…we… bye!” Alec said
and ran off with Daniel.
“Dan, I’m very hungry…” “Me too… What should we
do?” “I don’t know.” “You don’t know what?” “Huh? What no and
yes?” “Huh for what? And you know right?” “It’s left I thought.”
“What left? We left Vicki’s house?” “No, left to my old den.” “What
then, then?” “Den, then?” “Dan, I’m asking you!” “I’m Dan, then
what den?” “You’re old, then?” “What old, I’m, young!” “Ok! But
what talking you?” OK! I’m getting confused, guys… what Dan, then, den are
you talking about? Just shut up and back to the story. “Ok! Fine!”
“Let’s go back to my old place.” “You got a place?” “Yes! I’m a
road sweeper, remember?” ‘Oh, yah… road sweeper and I’m bus driver.
You’ree road sweeper, I’m bus driver… Road sweeper, Bus driver, road
sweeper, you’re bus driver, I’m road sweeper…” Alec chanted happily as
he followed Daniel to his den.

Vicki’s house
“Theresa, are you sure you really want to kick them out? After all, they gave
us a present.” Vicki pleaded “Yeah, and the present is shit!” “But…”
“But you ate it! And swallowed it some more!” “Theresa…” “After they
are gone, no one will snatch my money away…hehehe” Theresa grinned.
“Theres…” “If you have the heart to let them back, you would not have
said, “Out!” So cold- heartedly.” Theresa explained and past Vicki a shit
chocolate. “Here, eat the present from your secret admirer.” “Anyway, who
is the secret admirer?” “I…” Vicki smiled to herself but Theresa saw it.
“Hey… you know him?” “Well, kind of…” “Really?” Theresa was
excited now. “Who?” “He is… him loh!” Vicki pointed outside the
window.
Theresa rushed there excitedly and look eagerly for him. She saw a very handsome
man wearing sunglasses and black clothes with his hair gelled neatly to one
side. “Wow! Suave! Man in black too!” “No this one.” Vicki shook her
head. Theresa gave a little frown and look beside man in black. The man was
wearing a suit with a famous Italian checked tie. In one hand was a black
suitcase and on the other was a Rolex gold watch with diamonds as the numbers.
“Wow! Rich! A CEO even! Vicki, if you marry a rich man, you won’t havee to
worry for money for 3 lives, man!” “No… not him…” “Again?” Theresa
sighed at looked elsewhere. She saw a gangster with a snake tattoo on one arm, a
eagle tatoo on the other, a dragon tattoo revealed on his chest under a blue
“Bei Xin” (I dunno what’s that in english) and a tiger behind on his back.
He was nibbling a cigarette and his neck was full of gold chains. His fingers
were decorated with different colour gem rings and his hair is dyed to blue,
green and a little red. “Um… a “lao da.” Vicki, you won’t have to
worry about people bullying you.”
“Theresa, where are you looking? He’s there loh!” Vicki pointed to a
direction and Theresa saw a young boy of age about 15 wearing school uniform
with the uppermost button buttoned up(you know most of us don’t really button
up the uppermost button right?) He wore a thick, black framed glass and when he
smiled, braces were clearly seen on his teeth. He was carrying a very childish
pokemon school bag and he waved to Vicki nerdly. “That nerd boy?” “Yup!”
Vicki waved back at him. “Your… secret ad…mirer?” “No! That’s my
nephew! Remember I have a big sister in US, and this is his son who just came
back recently to study.” “Why did you want him to…” “Say he’s my
secret admirer?” “Yeah, why?” Theresa stared blankly at Vicki. “Because,
I want to make Alec feel jealous.” “Why?” “Because… Aiya…you’re
making me embarrassed.” “Don’t tell me you… like him.” Theresa
whispered extra soft at Vicki for the last 2 words. Vicki looked at her and
ignored her question. “Don’t tell you! I need to get something for my nephew
now.” She skipped away and open the door for the nerd to enter.
“What’s your name boy?” Theresa asked. “My name is Shu Dai Zhi.” He
smiled his nerd smile. “Your name is Shu Dai Zhi (Chinese name for nerd). Your
surname is Shu?” Theresa couldn’t control herself and laughed. “So your
father’s name is Shu Chong(book worm) is it?” She laughed again. “No, aunt
Theresa.” “Aunt?” Theresa suddenly felt very old. “My father’s name is
called Shu Guang Guang (lost completely).” Theresa laughed even louder now.
“Shu Guang Guang! Hahaha! So do you have an English name?” Theresa struggled
out her words as she tried to control her laughter. “Yes. Nerdy.(he pronounced
it as Neddy)” “Oh, at least your English name is not so bad. Ok.” Theresa
smiled but when she saw the nametag on the uniform, she noticed it was Nerdy and
she laughed again. “Nerdy? Shu Dai Zhi! Ha HA HAHA!” “My parents wanted my
name to be Neddy but my pastor said that my name must have a “R” and can
have only 1 “D”. So they changed it like that. It’s pronounced as Neddy.
And my chinese name the Dai is “bring” that Dai. My Zhi is Jimmy Lin Zhi Yin
that Zhi. Ok?” “Oh… ok! Hahaha!” Theresa laughed again.
Vicki came out and stopped Theresa from laughing. “Ok, enough laughing now.
Sorry Dai Zhi. Have your drink.” “It’s ok, Aunt Vicki. I’m used to all
this laughing anyway. I know my name is really funny. I know.” He took the
orange juice and drank it all up in one gulp.

Bank
Jimmy counted the money and gave it to the customer. He left the counter and
Jimmy shouted, “Next!” “Jimmy, it’s me.” Theresa smiled.
“Theresa!” Jimmy went out and shook her hands. “Ok, Jimmy, that’s
enough, you can make the whole world vibrate.” “Anything you need to say?”
“Um.. it’s about last time, I’m really sorry about that. I… don’t know
what’s got into me. Maybe because of my pressure in school.” “Oh. I
forgive you already.” “Thanks, shall we go for dinner?” “Great! I know
there’s a place where they sell the best Ang Gu Kuay (it’s a type of “Gao
dian” in a shape of a turtle and it’s red). In the Blah Blah Hawker Center,
they have the best Satay and it’s even on TV! It’s very nice. Let’s eat
there.” “Um… Jimmy, don’t you know it’s a little hot there?” “Then
where you suggest?” “Taco bell! The Mexican food there is fabulous and I
just love the nachos! Let’s eat there. At least they have air conditioner.”
“Ok! After that we go eat Ang Gu Kuay as dessert, ok?” “Ok!” Theresa
replied cheerfully.

the income of one's wife's sister's husband" - H.L. Mencken
After eating their favorite tarco bell and ang gu kuey, they decided to take a
stroll. The lights were dim, the place is quiet… I know what are you thinking.
They are going to confess! Just like in “First Love” and “Miracle love”!
So romantic and all those… yea you’re right…NOT! Guess what they did?
“Jimmy, I want to ask you something… have you even liked someone before?”
Theresa stole a peek at him. “Yeah. I have. You?” “I have too?” “Yes!
It’s you!” Jimmy cried excitedly. “Really? I’m so flattered!” “Who
farted?” “What?” “Who farted?” “What farted?” “I thought you say
you farted!” “No I didn’t!” “Yes! I heard you, don’t deny it.”
“I didn’t even say anything that ends with a “ed”.” “Yes! You said 2
words ending with an “ed”. Like, “liked” and “farted”.” “Oh! So
you meant that! It’s flattered not farted! Flattered means… I don’t know
how to say it, but the meaning is not farted, ok?” “Ok. I get it now,
anyway, I like you a lot?” “How do you know? I also you know.” “I know!
Let’s be a couple!” “Ok! I agree!” “From now on, you’re my
girlfriend and I’m your boyfriend. Agree?” “Yes!” “Lalalala” They
sang together and held hands. That’s how they became a couple…as simple as
that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to Alec and Daniel, their lives were very miserable. They had not enough
money… every night, after they came back from work, they’ll use rubbish to
cover themselves up and pretend to be beggars. They’ll stand along the streets
and beg for money. One night, as usual, they cover themselves up with rubbish.
“Dan, I found this really ugly rubbish on the bus.” “Is it? Then use
it!” “But it’s really ugly!” “How ugly?” “Here? I show you?”
Alec took out the really ugly rubbish and showed Daniel. “Ugrh! It’s really
ugly!” “I know. So how?” “Don’t take it out or people will avoid it
because it’s too ugly.” “Ok! Let’s go.” They went away, leaving the
really ugly rubbish behind. As for what is the ugly rubbish, imagine it
yourself…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vicki and Theresa was chatting with Nerdy Shu Dai Zhi in the living room. Then
Vicki needed to go to the toilet, leaving Theresa and Nerdy together. “Tell
me, why Vicki ask you to send you flowers and presents?” “Um… She said not
to tell.” “If you tell, I’ll give $10.” “No. I’m not suppose to
tell.” “Um… if you tell me, I’ll ask the most popular girl in your
school to have a date with you.” “Although I like the girl a lot, but no. I
cannot break Aunt Vicki’s promise.” Thinking what to do, she suddenly had an
idea. “If you tell me, I’ll give you my really thick dictionary with more
than 5000 pages.” “Really? Ok! I’ll tell you!” Nerdy said excitedly. In
Theresa’s mind, she thought, “Haiya… a nerd is a nerd…” She then
return to Nerdy and listened. “Actually she said that she wanted to make her
crush jealous. That’s what she said but when I came here, I didn’t even get
to see her crush.” “Well, that’s because he left!” “What? Why?”
“Because…” She was about to answer when she saw Vicki coming out. “Shhh.”
She immediately hushed and pretend to talk to Nerdy about chickens.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Dan, we NEED money.” “I know. But we can’t really do much about it
right?” “Why don’t we beg Vicki?” “Beg? After begging so many people
you still want to beg?” “Because we already beg so many people so when
we’re in front of her we can be more thick-skinned mah!” Dnaiel thought for
a while before saying, I know what to do. Give me an envelope, a stamp, a pen, a
piece of paper. I’m going to write a letter.” “To Vicki?” “No.”
“Writing to the government for financial assistance?” “No. I’m writing
to my dad.” “Your dad? I didn’t know you have a dad!” Alec exclaimed.
“Everyone has a dad, right?” Alec shrugged and went to beg money…
The next day… Alec was rushing excitedly home with a newspaper in his hand.
“Daniel! Daniel!” He cried and ran into Daniel’s Den. “Look! You’re on
newspaper!” He showed Daniel the newspaper and this is what is says…
“SHOCKED!!! TIMES
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Chan La La, an English Chinese famous top ten richest
in the world, cried bitterly in front of our SHOCKED!!! Reporters. He said that
his son, Daniel Chan Da Dong had a small fight and his son was so angry (and
SHOCKED!!!) that Daniel left England. He said that he regretted quarrelling over
such small matters. Now, he truly wants him to come back home. This is the
SHOCKED!!! picture of Daniel chan Da Dong. It has been told that he was seen in
Singapore. So all our SHOCKED!!! Fans, please keep an look out for this SHOCK!!!
millionaire’s son! Reported by SHOCKED!!! Reporter, Shaw King Man.”
“And here’s the big big picture of you!” Alec was more excited. “I
didn’t know you had a millionaire father. Heard that you’re an Oxford
graduate, right? Wow! Can’t believe you have such an secret identity! That’s
soooo cool to have a true identity behind a fake one! That’s so cool and……
SHOCKING! It’s so Shocking, man!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Vicki and Theresa appeared in front of Daniel’s den. Daniel came
out and asked. “Yes?” “We’ve came here to take you and Alec back to our
house. We also wanted to say sorry for what we’ve done.” Vicki and Theresa
said together. “Is it because you’ve read the newspaper?” “Um…”
Theresa hesitated. Just then, Alec came out. “Why are you here?” “I’m
here for true love…” Vicki looked dearly at Alec. He shivered and gulped.
“You?” Daniel looked at Theresa. “Well, I’m here for the newspaper…
hehe, I…actually wanted money because me and Jimmy are planning to get married
3 years later.” “3 Years?” They all exclaimed. “Yes. I know it’s too
long but… we still have to prepare right Daniel?” Her eyes were glimmering
with Money. Daniel looked away and smiled. “Alright. Let’s go.”
“Theresa, what should we do with that Nerdy Shu Dai Zhi when they are back?”
Vicki asked. “Well, I gave him that 5000 page dictionary and it’s now his
pillow.” “Really? Anyway I want Alec and Daniel to meet Nerdy Shu Dai Zhi.”
“Great!” Theresa smiled and they all walked home……
At home..........................
The 5 of them
went back to Vicki's house to meet Nerdy. The 5 of them went back to Vicki's
house to meet Nerdy. The 5 of them went back to Vicki's house to meet Nerdy. The
5 of them went back to Vicki's house to meet Nerdy. The 5 of them went back to
Vicki's house to meet Nerdy. The 5 of them went back to Vicki's house to meet
Nerdy. "Oei! What are you doing?" Alec asked. The 5 of them went back
to Vicki's house to meet Nerdy. The 5 of them went back to Vicki's house to meet
Nerdy. Sorry, my radio is spoiled. Ok, The 5 of. never mind, you know what am I
talking about. When Daniel stepped in, Nerdy widen his eyes and stared at him.
"DANIEL CHAN? OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I CAN SEE YOU HERE!"
"Why are you talking in Caps?" Daniel asked. "SORRY BUT I HAD NO
CHOICE. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING WENT WRONG TODAY?" "Because this is
the last chapter! Everybody were so excited that they rushed to the backstage
just now, stomping over almost everything." Theresa explained. "NO
WONDER JUST NOW I FELT SO MUCH FORCE EXERTED ON ME. SO IT WAS HUMAN FEET."
"I can't believe he's so nerd to not even know that he's stepped by people!
Haiya. this kind of people.tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk" Alec sighed. "Oh yeah,
I forgot to introduce. This is Nerdy Shu Dai Zhi. This is Daniel and Alec."
"Hi." Daniel and Alec both greeted. "I KNOW! YOU ARE DANIEL CHAN!
YOU'RE MY IDOL YOU KNOW? I TOTALLY ADMIRE YOUR TALENT. I'VE SEEN YOU ON THE
ENGLAND MAGAZINE SAYING THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY CHINESE STUDENT TO STUDY THE BLAH
BLAH SUBJECT IN OXFORD! YOU ALWAYS COME IN FIRST IN CLASS. HOW I WISH I'LL BE
LIKE YOU!" "You? An oxford graduate?" The others stared at him in
surprise. "Yeah? So? I don't want to say, but. you know, if you're really
talented, people will know you." He laughed. "HL." The 4 others
smirked together and walked off. "Hey! What do you mean by HL? What's that?
High Low milk?" Nerdy smiled secretly and walked up to him. "HL means
Hao Lian (Show off in "Singlish"). Even I'm nerd I also know." He
laughed secretly and walked off. "Hao Lian? What's that?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One night, after dinner, Vicki went back to her own room. Alec also went back to
his room. So is Theresa and Daniel. Nerdy slept on the sofa as usual with his
5000 pages dictionary. It's about as thick as you monitor. It's true! I have
these 5000 pages book and measure before already! Don't WAH!!! It's not so great
right? I didn't say I have a 5000 page book. I only say books. I have 4
dictionaries with 1500 pages each and the last one is 500 something. Heeheehee.
Back to the story. The phone rang and Daniel picked it up. A while later, he ran
to Vicki's room, Theresa's room, Alec's room and Nerdy's ro. sorry, sofa and
cried. "Com'on! Tell you a good news. My father offered us to stay in his
new bought bungalow!" "Really? Yeah!" They all cheered. "We
can move in tomorrow. My father thanked you for saving my life and he has too
much money to burn." Daniel explained. "Will his men will come
tomorrow to help us move the things?" "No need! Everything is there
already. Clothes, toothbrushes, books, toilet paper also have!" "Have
money?" Theresa smiled. "Of course! You can ask Jimmy to live here
too!" "Really? Great!" "But I want you two have separate
rooms." Vicki protested. "Of course! We won't do something
shameful."
So that next
day, they all set off to their new house. When they reached the main gate, a
very beautiful woman dressed in something-like-but-not-stewardess-uniform
welcomed them. "Who's this?" Vicki asked. "Oh, good morning
everyone. My name is Jolin Choi and I'm your tour guide." "Tour
guide?" All of them exclaimed. "Yes. Let me tell you something about
this house. The total Land area is 2km square and the Blah River runs through
it. The water is filtered and purified of any bacteria so it's free to swim in
it. But if you still think the river is too dirty, we have 3 swimming pools. 1
is an Olympic Standard size swimming pool, one is a "bar pool" where
you can take a float and enjoy the scenery. There's also a bar in the middle of
the pool. The third 1 is the fun one. It's the game pool. It has slides of
different hights and many other water game facilities like Log of Fume, and many
others. Come lets get into the house. She smiled and led them into the gate.
"In here, we travel around in golf cars. ( I dunno if it is what it's
called.n e way, u get wad I mean?)." They took about 5 minutes before
reaching the main house. It's soooooooo big! "This is the main house. It
has 26 rooms in total and every room has its own theme and designs. So if you're
bored, change your room to have a different atmosphere. We have over 500 workers
working here. 100 of them work in this house. We have 5 levels, 2 elevators, two
ballrooms, 2 living rooms, 10 studies, 3 kitchens, 40 toilets, 2 cinemas, a
dance studio, 3 game rooms and an attic." She chirped out. "Wow. Will
you be living here?" "Of course. I'm your tour guide. If you have
anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Or if you forgot where is where,
I'll be always there for you. Here's a hand phone for everyone. I've already add
my phone number in the hand phone itself so if you don't know anything, press #1
and I'll tell you. There'll be one servant to each one so they can also help
you." "Thanks." Just then, the doorbell rang. Jolin opened the
door and saw Daniel. "Um.boss." She greeted. "Don't call me in
that way. I'll also be living here." Daniel stared at Jolin. She brushed
and looked away. "Um. please come in." She led him to the others.
"Wooo!" They cheered because Daniel looked especially suave in his
clean clothes and combed hair. "You can choose your rooms now. They are all
on the 3rd, 4th and 5th level." They left very quickly leaving Daniel and
Jolin alone. "Um. I'm going up now." She walked away but her hand was
pulled by Daniel and she was pulled closer to Daniel. She stared at Daniel and
got nervous. Daniel also stared at her. "Um. Boss?" "Shh."
Daniel whispered. Jolin slowly closed her eyes and moved towards Daniel.
As they were about to kiss. Daniel said, "You've got an ant crawling on
your face." Jolin opened her eyes wide and stared at him in shock.
"What?" "There's an ant crawling on your face. But just now it
was blown off already. You may go back to your room." He smiled and walked
away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Vicki's room.
She chose a room with the theme ice age and
found that all the clothes inside were all white. Just then, Alec came in.
"Vicki, there's something I need to tell you." "What is it?"
Vicki acted blur although she already know Alec is going to confess to her.
"I. found that you're the most beautiful, kind, angel I've ever seen. Wait,
it's too mushy already." Aiyah, Alec, say straight to the point! "Can
you shut up? I'm confessing you know?" I know. "So can you please make
the romantic atmosphere?" Ok, whatever! Candles lit up everywhere and whole
room became pink. Flower scent filled the air and roses were everywhere.
"Wait. that's too exaggerated. Never mind. Lousy writers are like
that." Back to the confessing. "I." "Never mind. Alec, let
me say for you or the finale will never end. You loved me, you promise me that
you'll love me forever. You asked me if I loved you and I said yes. Ok? End of
story. Thanks for reading and bye bye! Hai~. finally can rest.." Vicki and
Alec became couple but what about Theresa and Jimmy???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3 years later.
It was Jimmy and Theresa's wedding. After
all that, at night..
Jimmy and Theresa returned to their own room. They sat on the bed shyly. After a
minute of silence, Jimmy spoke. "Um. what are we suppose to do now?"
"Don't act blur. You know, that thing?" "What thing?"
"That thing that every couple do after their wedding?" "I still
don't get it." Theresa got a little irritated and whispered into his ear.
"Oh! You mean that thing! Actually you don't have to be shy. We're already
married and it's very normal for married couples to do that. "But I'm still
a girl." "Ok. Let's do it now." "Now? It'll be so
embarrassed for the readers to see." "So? What we do is not against
the law." "Ok, whatever." She smiled. Both of them pick up a cup
and drank with their arms entangled together. (Jiao Bei Jiu)..........So this is
what they did. What are you thinking??? =D
