I was all frumpy,geeky and spectacled yesterday and went to meet my friend whom I fondly refer to as AH SENG. The guy was easygoing,agreeable and nice to a painful extent. He spent the entire day watching me eat,from my fritatas which I forced him to agree that they were great,to more fritatas and fried egg,the chinese scrambled way and chicken and then more chicken yet. He said he was too amazed and I said I was too dismayed that I had such a voracious appetite. All in all the man was super nice and let me embarass him a few times by hollering or exclaiming too excitedly whenever my eye caught anything. He said I was a curious cat. He might as well have said the sky was blue.
AH SENG loved spewing a bout of vulgarities in his lyrical,profane way. He was original,hassle free and resembled Shylock the ancient money lender from Merchant of Venice. Except AH SENG,our friend was more modern,he mixed his soothing vulgarities with a distinct fusion of English,Mandarin and Hokkien. This impressed me greatly since our world was advancing to such great globalisation that even our loan sharks were becoming multi lingual. It paved a very rich future for AH SENG indeed.AH SENG was skinny,and the mirror image of Popeye's girlfriend Olive. However when I said this,he threw me a murderous stabbing glare. I then cowered in fear,almost timidly to the likelihood that he might eat my parents for dinner or send me one of those facebook bloodied chain letters at midnight,or worse holler to every neighbourhood in town and tell them I was the one that ate up all the eggs in the supermarket and restaurants ect ect. I saw my convicted face in jail and the local paper and in this foreboding image,AH SENG's skinny frame waltzed by in a menacing way and for the life of me,I decided to only keep mum after that. AH SENG was thin but awfully strong. He excelled in gambling and enjoyed chuckling as he spoke about his prowess in Mahjong. I listened intently while being pleasantly surprised time and again by his revelations that he liked certain bands that I did, such as Dream Theater and rock music. AH SENG was gaining a foothold in my mind as an impressive and interesting individual and this is the point where I tell myself to praise him for his hardy and sincere ways. AH SENG,well done for being a good friend despite having a terrible hangover yesterday, U came to meet me regardless and was even tolerant of my ugly attire. THANK U chum!
