bad elevator maintenance guy

A couple days ago, Emily alerted me with a nudge

Me : “Yes dear ?”

Emily : “I went to your old neighborhood with your mom today and saw the bad elevator maintenance guy…”

I have no clue what she’s talking about

Me : “The bad elevator maintenance guy you said ?..” [scowling expression]

Emily : “Yes, the one who harassed you when you were small… your mom told me about it”

Her description was good enough to reminisce me of an incident when I was only 8 years old (that’s exactly 20 years ago) …

Me : “Oooooh … Ah Wong ! Yeah yeah .. I remember him !”

Emily : “… So ?…”

She’s looking at me in a way that’s making me feel uncomfortable…

Me : “So what ?”

Emily : “… what actually happened back then ?”

Me : “I thought you said mom told you all about it ?”

Emily : “She just said that guy harassed you…”

Me : “Yeah, he harassed me alright…”

She didn’t seem to be satisfied with my brief answer. She dug for more …

Emily : “I mean, HOW …did he… harassed you ?”

Me : “I don’t want to talk about it… ok ?”

I was reluctant to share with her, because it was sort of a dark secret of mine, you know… which I’ve been lying to my mom for years. And I don’t wanna lie to Emily. But she’s getting all impatient about it…

Emily : “So … he’s like raping you in the butt or something ?”

Me : “WHATTTT ?????????”

Emily : “I could understand if you don’t feel like answering that question …”

Me : “RAPING ME IN THE BUTT ???? AHAHHHHHHHHHKKSS !!! That has got to be the funniest shit I’ve ever heard !!! Where did you get that idea ?”

Emily : “You said he harassed you maa …”

Me : “He just pummelled me up … ok ?”

Emily : “ooooh…”

Me : “He pummelled me up because I kicked his ass… I was too atrocious as a kid. But mom didn’t know that coz I told her that guy’s cracked in the head and he biffed me up in the elevator for no reason. And she went ahead to give him the nastiest housewife lecture a bloke could ever get in his life. That’s WHAT happened.”

Emily : “ehehehh.. ok ok … I misinterpreted the message…”

Ah Wong was a 6 ft tall elevator maintenance guy who loves to play around with kids. He’s usually found hanging out at our ghetto apartment’s lobby. On that fateful day, he teased me the way he shouldn’t have … when I was just innocently passing by the lobby. I responded by directly sending his ass a flying kick (coupled with a Bruce Lee’s signature cockroach yell - KACHAAAAT). That’s when he got real aggravated and started chasing me… and we somehow ended inside the elevator. I was then trapped with raging Ah Wong inside an elevator …

An 8 yrs old versus a 6 ft tall 30 yrs old bloke … you do the math who sustained the maximum boner there. I went crying home with some real nasty bruises and told my mom about it. That’s what really happened.

Ah Wong, if you’re reading this, sorry to have framed you that day. I did that because you’re such a pussy for not being able to take a kick like a real man should. I hope we learnt our lesson through the years, forget the bitter past and move on with our lives. But then, if you insist of having a rematch of free sparring, feel free to let me know, for I missed kicking your ass.

  • what did he tease you-lah, that you had to give him a flying kick?

    reminiscing, it was rather easy to do a flying kick when we were kids. i remembered when i was a kid, i used to reach my destination with a flying kick. from the house door to my dad’s car, seven steps of walking followed by one flying kick and land myself triumphantly by the car door.

  • lol….haha come on, that guy should have taken it like a man.

    how could he do that? But then again, i salute u bro for having such courage at that age…to kick a 6 footer.

    I really don’t mind being that brave. If my kids were to kick some dudes out there due to the very same reasons, i guess i would cheer them on too.

  • shanks - yeah, i can even do split when i was young. now ? trouser split yes ler…

    lilian - can… but beware that they might kick your butt when you’re unaware

    jason - if you’re not naughty, you’ll grow up to be a sissy.

    jr. - that time, jackie chan inspired a lot of my wrongdoings. Like beating up other kid, climb the highest tree and tease the meanest dog.

    din - cakap kat president ‘belukar’ tu ….

    zbjernak - that’s why comprehension is a very important thing… hehehh.

  • When i was small kid (abt 7 yrs old). One bloddy bugger knocked me with his motobike while i was cycling which caused me to fall and injured my arms. Rather than helping me out, that bugger shouted at me n put the fucking blame on me!. God damn I wish I was bit smarter at that time. I was on the freaking correct lane and he knocked me!… Damn after 10 years that fucker face still fresh in my mind.. but I have no idea where the fuck is he now.!
