This woman
at my workplace- her story is truly inspiring.
She is the ray of hope for many. Especially for perennially
mentally f*cked up and depressed people like me.
There are
moments when I feel too lonely, sad and depressed and feel I’ll die alone in this
country of dry, cold and rude people. And, even when I am dying, and I shout in
my poor Cantonese “I am dying”, Chinese people around might mistake my tone and think – Oh she
is weird, why is she yelling saying she loves chocolate do-nuts!
So, now, whenever I get such do-nuts eating thoughts, I mean suicidal thoughts, I just think of this diva.
Why do I
think of her? Is she that angelic?
Well, she
is the ugliest woman I have seen in Hong Kong. She is fat and short.
She is gossipy,
spine-less creature; back-bites against everyone; lies every second of a minute, has a crappy sense of humor, and
is late to work everyday.
When she
walks, it looks a used-up plastic bag full of trash rolling. Well, I am not
interested in defining how the whole of her body looks like, but one part of her body that can’t
be overlooked: Her lips.
Her ugly lips
are so big and wide- it looks like two caterpillars crawling on her face. The
shape and color of the lips being irregular, it looks as if she accidentally bit
the caterpillars with her teeth while they were crawling over her mouth and after chewing for a moment, threw up immediately; now
their inured bodies are oozing out the creamy-pus fluid while they continue to grovel.
When she stands in front of
you to speak, her moving lips give out a sight of terror- you keep on
contemplating how she is balancing the caterpillars on her mouth while
speaking, or worst, other caterpillars will come out of her mouth.
When she
eats something, food keeps sticking on her lips for hours. And when she
licks her lips later to get that off, trust me you'd prefer getting blinded than to see that awful act!
And, she
declared the other day, showing her ring finger that she got engaged and is
getting married next month.
That moment
of suprise shook me from inside. I couldn't fathom an appropriate reaction to that!
So,there exists a person, a man to be specific, who fell in love with a woman like her? REALLY!!
Voila! And there I see lights in the sky.
I realized that if somebody can get married to her, I mean HER,
I mean nobody else, but "HER", yes, “THE HER”, I will certainly
not die a lonely death.
If she can find somebody to love her, my chances are 11 out of every 10 cases.
Her engagement has filled me with hopes of promising future.
Each time
she crosses to pick up papers from the printer, or bumps into the cafeteria, her caterpillar-laden smile fills me up with love, light and hopes.
Imagine,
there is a guy in this world who has taken the commitment to kiss THOSE LIPS
for the rest of his life. My God!
Somebody, please nominate him for bravery awards!
And there
is this me who repents on all those stupid bad decisions taken in this life, look at that gentleman on this planet on his blunder-making spree.
And,
that made me curious to go and meet that guy and personally thank him for
making me feel less bad about myself.
Well, the
possibilities are high- the guy lost a bet, is a lunatic, is broke, is a crack,
is blind, had a memory-loss, or worst, he loves caterpillars. After all Chinese
cuisine has everything under the sky.
I can
definitely ask her for her pre-wedding shoot to see who this mysterious guy is,
but then photos, in this era of photoshop, where she would like
Angelina Jolie, doesnt make sense. So, I am really keen to meet him in person and know more about him, and the circumstances that led him to....
But, am
concerned, if none of my predictions is true and he is a normal guy, then what! How would
he kiss her at the wedding!
If I am a
guy, keep aside my lips, I won’t put any of my other body-parts between those pair of caterpillar lips. But,
I know, men will be men!
P.S. I am so tempted to post her picture here but I know I ll get sued
