sad birthday ( a tale of a cassanova yang dah tak laku)

2012-01-17T10:39:00.001+08:00

it is his birthday. he normally didn't celebrate his birthday nowadays.

but and old flame called him up and said she got some presents for him and wants to go for dinner where she will hand over the presents.

he said ok.

then a new spark called him up. she's free on his birthday and wants to invite him to go with her looking for a dress for her upcoming dinner function. then dinner and movie after that to celebrate his birthday.

being the stupid fool that he is, he called up the old flame and said sorry i have to postpone our dinner to another date as something just came up.

reluctantly she agrees.

biasalah kan, old flame dengan new spark ada ke orang yang bagi priority pada old flame?

truth be said, he has already retired from the game. but recent events made him do a comeback. he wants his old glory back. just another shot at the title to erase the memory of a bitter defeat.

then on the morning of his birthday, the new spark calls him and said, sorry but some friends wants to go shopping for my new dress with me and another friend wants to go out with me tonight. i don't know what to do now because i've promised you.

gritting his teeth he said, it's okay. go ahead with your friends, they have gone a long way back with you. i understand.

she said, thank you....!

then he calls his old flame and says, our plan now is back on. let's go for dinner tonight.

and she says, so i am only your second plan? you call me only because your first plan got canceled?

haih.....

so, he ends up doing nothing again on his birthday. only answering greetings on his fb.

two knock-downs after a knock-out. a sign as clear as daylight that he can't win anymore. perhaps he should quit playing the game. he's getting too old to win.

he should just retire for good.

The farmer who went to sea (a story that doesn't make sense)

2012-01-12T11:10:00.002+08:00

Once upon a time there was a farmer. His farm was in the hills far away from the sea. He always wondered how it feels to go to the sea and sail on a ship.

So one day he decided to go to the shore and came to a port where he met a ship. He weaved a tale of his prowess at sea which in truth were mostly made up based on stories he heard from sailors. The ship was impressed and invited the farmer to come aboard and go sailing.

Once at sea the farmer's ineptness became apparent. He got sea sick and didn't know how find his bearings, read the winds and the waves, and lost his directions. The ship got fed-up, angry and dissapointed and throw him overboard.

So there was the farmer in troubled waters hanging on to his life jacket and frantically sending out distress signals with the device which he carried with him all the time. The ship that threw him ignored the signals and sailed away, wanting nothing to do with the lousy landlubber anymore and would rather stick to her sailor friends.

The farmer continued sending distress signals hoping some other ships passing in the area might pick him up and save him.

He was lucky, not just one ship but a few ships responded to his signals.

He was saved and taken to port where the ships that saved him took pity on him and treated him to lavish dinners at swanky restaurants and entertained him with witty and interesting conversations. He was so happy and joyful that he got over his embarrasment, anger and despair at the ship that threw him overboard.

He even got a few subtle invitations to go sailing again from the ships that saved him.

But having learned his lessons and afraid that he might fall into the sea of misery again, he politely declined.

And with great reluctance he walked back to the hills where his farm is and quitely made a promise to himself not to go near the sea again, determined to just take care of his farm.

But someone said to him, the lure of the sea is too strong in him that he might go sailing again.

There is some truth in what that someone said as the farmer is still wondering whether to wander or not to wander to the sea.

moving on

when someone hit you with a blow that knocked you down and out for the count, it is no use getting up and continue the fight.

get up and move on. prepare yourself for the next fight.

but it doesn't mean that you can't curse that someone who knocked you down

may someday that someone get knocked down by someone else sampai retire terus!

afternoon tea

she was munching away on her salad and occasionally took spoonfuls of mashed potatoes as she chatted away about her family, her officemates, her boss, and those pesky men trying to woo her and pretending not understand when she shooed them away.

he was just looking at her, his mind drifting away sometimes. but he took notice when she talked about those nuisances trying to get into her pants or under her skirts, baju kurung, kebaya whatever.

the question just popped-out suddenly.

he: jay,

she: yes?

he: what would you do if i make a move on you?

she: what?

he: if, just if, i want to..you know..do something with you?

she: nah, you won't

he: what if i do

she: i would say no.

he: would you make a move on me?

she: no

he: why? i am not attractive to you?

she: ermm...no. because you are just too nice

he: nice? i've done bad things before you know

she: yes, but i remember when you said your family is important to you and you will not do anything that will risk......

he: oh. so i made a mistake saying that? now i got no chance with you already lah

she: hahahaha

he; but i am still a man you know, i might try to seduce you one day, after all there are not many man who can resist you..

she: ell, you don't know how to seduce a woman

he: i don't? how do you know?

she: remember when you wanted to kiss me? you asked for permission! you don't ask for permission if you want to seduce a girl, you just kiss!

he: oh, it was just a good night kiss and i was afraid you would slap me

she: to seduce a girl, you cannot be afraid.

he inhaled his ciggarete deeply and thought to himself, "if only you know jay, what can happen starting from a kiss...."

he fished his pockets for the packet of zoloft, took one out and popped it into his mouth, taking gulps of teh-o-ice
