Occupy Movement Singapore: Three Complete Novels
Page 10
We had a typical date, dinner and a movie, but this time the sexual tension was thick enough to eat with a spoon.
We were at a local pizza parlor, and it was packed full of people! There was a huge lineup to order and the lady working at the cash register looked tired and unhappy with the current state of the restaurant. When we approached the cash register, I simply asked the lady how she was doing.
In a quiet, defeated voice, she said, ‘Okay’. At this point, I almost got ahead of myself, and forgot to take the time to listen carefully for her response, and interpret her energy level.
The laws of attraction would believe that you would attract to you those people that are similar to you in nature. Negative thinking would usually attract me to people like that defeated cashier counter lady.
In addition, you will be repelled away from those professionals that are fundamentally different from you. Just like Sienna and me.
After she responded with the answer of, ‘Okay’ to my question, I took a few seconds, looked at her and said, ‘That is good to hear.’ I didn’t just say this, but I meant it. She could tell that I meant it as well.
“A wastrel old man” that’s what Sienna calls Poh Quee during our conversation and dangles a $5000 cash cheque in front of me, asking me to consider her indecent proposal.
My eyes are stone cold and his body is so tight with anger that he looks like metal wind-up toy.
While the money is tempting, I am horrified at Sienna’s utter lack of humanity and full of shame but doesn’t back off from my rescue mission.
Sienna, for a moment, being impatient and all that gets annoyed. A manic smile contorting her face.
“Hey, mister, you are being insincere…… I took the initiative to ask me out for a movie date, touched my crotch, I even exposed my panties to you but still refuse to consider my marriage proposal.”
There is an immediate animosity between us. I think the people on another table would have heard our conversation.
Sienna is nervous energy – she never stops talking and moving – even if she is only shifting her weight from one foot to the other.
I can smell Sienna’s desperation. Sienna knows that something about me is not quite right but she can’t pin it down as she herself is desperate to get any Singapore guy to register for her scam marriage in order for her to extend stay in Singapore. Her dependent’s pass was expiring sson.
Sienna explicitly told me what the plan was. Once she got rid of Poh Quee, she would try to get the earliest date available to register a marriage with me. In return, she would pay me S$5000 upfront and then another $$5000 once the marriage is confirmed.
Said, “Where you get the cash?”
Sienna was confident, “From that old man. Women’s Charter Act. Once I get half the house’s sale proceeds, I can pay you the money.”
“You have the S$5000 now?” I asked, cautiously trying to cross the minefield.
She was so horny she didn't pay any attention to the movie and barely tasted our food.
Her eyes stayed on my crotch. She couldn't see anything but she thought it was because I kept turning my hips away from her so she couldn't see...teasing her.
“Sure. I can write you a cheque.” She whipped out a pen and cheque book. “Got the money from that buyer. They paid a deposit of $5000 and gave it to me first.”
Gosh…. Poh Quee… this woman Is so cheap and ill-behaved…. a scum that you scrap off your shoes
