Part II

His grandma died and we are in this coffee house after work, mourning the death of this lady I know not (may she rest in peace) because I would like to fuck her grandson, and everything would be alright. I mean, let’s be sympathetic, the poor boy needs a companion and who else would he choose if not for the fairest girl of them all?

Where did I get all this confidence from? I hate myself, I hate the girls in office, I hate my girlfriends, I hate my life. It was not my idea to have a son from the previous marriage and no, I’m not taking responsibility. I don’t need to showcase to society that all of a sudden I’m an adult that needs to have a stand, be respected in the eyes of others.

No. Thank you.

“At least, she has a stand la. Not like Puan Kalsom, sikit-sikit stress”

Tuesdays is for prawn noodles on the menu kind of, over lunch views. It is usually the needed respite before the midweek break where the women could grow some hope for the weekend to come.

“Yessah?” one of them quipped.

Goo Ling Hui is my name and I shall not be wronged. I will talk with Florence this evening over our usual cheese and wine. I shall tell her everything my heart desires. I think that is my sole responsibility, and only mine to hold. I’m doing it for her own good anyways, it is the right thing to do. She needs to know she is immature. She can’t think. She is stupid. She is worthless. And that I don’t give a damn that she ever helped. I hate her because she is hot, her opinion matters and she is sleeping with the boss. It is not a question of moral conduct. It is about why he favours her even if he is not screwing her?

“Crazy la I tell you, Madam Goo. She is just. Just useless! indecisive! Today she asked me where did I put her hole punch when she doesn’t even own one. Typical, Type A bitch but I told her she looked amazing in that hideous orange skirt she has on today”

“Just tahan a bit more la,” said the woman.

“Why leh. Nice what the orange skirt” the new girl from the far end of the table, heard.

I want to make another character, but Goo Ling Hui really needs more air time. She is my aesthetic best! Maybe it’d be a challenge, and maybe I need more batshit cray cray drama around her, but I honestly, want to sexualise her. Not her actions, possibly her character. (Nina)
