A woman’s worth…
Thursday, July 7th, 2005Okie…so London is hosting the 2012 Olympics!I will be a good 31 years old.If I am not married by then,that would have mean that I am a super rich,charismatic,brooding,enigmatic and flamboyant playboy who just could not find the right girl to grow old with me.Awwww…
Aniwae,a word of thanks to my brudder Kai for having given me the thought that in a frightening way,that I might just live out my life in the manner of Bruce Wayne a.k.a Batman!Yeah,you should have known by now my affections with the comic world.Well,in a sense my brudder might be right.I had the same observation coming from my manager just the other day…
Manager:(sighing)Jazi…I just don’t understand you.In one fleeting moment,you are my most enthusiastic and dynamic agent.You spur people into action.And then there are days,when you totally go silent,switching off your handphone and not being contactable for days.You brood at times.You are moody and temperamental.Do you have a problem?
Hijazi/Bruce Wayne/Batman:I am not too sure myself at times.I lack the reason or purpose to achieve things at times.
Manager:Look,if it’s girls that is bothering you,here’s a word.Get your riches.Girls care about that nowadays.You are nothing but a speck of mediocrity if you are not rich.Besides,you aspire to be a manager in 3 years time.I know you have the capability to achieve them.Look,you are my only agent with only O levels as your qualifications in this business while the rest are parading in diplomas and degrees.But you are street smart.Make that work for you.Forget about what others think about you.
Hijazi/Bruce Wayne/Batman:So you mean I should not give the slightest f**k about what they think about me?Gosh.That is gonna be hard!I care about others…(cough).
Manager:But do they?
Hijazi/Bruce Wayne/Batman:I guess you are right!It is not who I am underneath that matters now.It is what I do that will define me…BANZAIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!
And so…I totally agree with my brudder’s keen obervation.I am Batman.
The best thing about the whole thing is…I am the only male in my agency!Aaaaargh!I am surrounded by boobs and mouths that will make any US invasion on an Arab country look like kid’s play.No kidding.I must strategise a way to actually combat the female of the species.In fact,every single day of my working life has been a battleground.My colleagues and manager alike have now been metophorically been transformed as super villains.Whatever!!!(smiling)
I spend last night opening up my box loads of letters.Those received and did not sent.Wow.What an epiphany.That’s why I advocate letter writing!It preserves an element of brutal honesty and frankness,coupled with endearing sincerety and a dash of innocence.When I do have a house of my own,I shall try to frame some of these letters as a form of reminder and testimonial as to the kinda person I had been and can be in the future years.I realised one thing though.I used to be a super sweet guy.Now…?I am a dastardly guy who bitches about women like there is no tomorrow.Then again I always emphasise that my generalisation of women are intended to be stereotypical.I have in my life,a few women whom I greatly admire and respect profoundly for their dignity and sense of womanhood.I have always respected woman.Exceptions are only for typical woman.
Heard this over the bus just yesterday…two schoolkids,girl and boy in the last row of a double deckered bus.I sat in front of them.
Girl and Boy:(quarelling)
Two minutes later…silence with dashes of kissing sound.
A miute later…
Boy:Will you suck?
Girl:Many people lah…
Me:Euuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Years later….
Girl:Will you marry me?I am pregnant.
Boy:Can you please be discreet.Many people lah…
Well peeps…Captain Charisma gotta go for now.
ps:I applied for a job just for fun.As a book stacker at Jurong East Library.Morning shift.Don’t get me wrong…there was no better way to waste my morning time.Ehex!Besides,I love the library.I don’t mind working for free aniwae.
ps:The Batman connection and revelations ends here.I do not want people knowing just what I normally do at night.I might just put some typical ‘Matz’ signing as police officers out of their jobs.Aniwae,one of my cousin just signed on as a Cisco officer.Guess what followed?An engagement of course…
As my brudder and I always observe…you are either a Cisco,technician or nothing at all.Girls dig man who either screw or get screwed…
