*****

A colleague asked me about my ‘homicidal’ post today at the cafeteria, which sparked a paroxysm of rage off me, and I set off like a supernova

“CHEEEBYEEEE!!!!”

The expression came naturally as if it was a part of my reflex. That gives you an idea on how much I loathed that Elliot. But I was a little loud this morning, and there’s a school of girls on the table next to our’s heard me. I expected something bad to happen, like a scornful look or two… since it is a norm for girls to feign angels in public…

But it didn’t happen. Instead, one of the girls gleefully turned around in an excited manner with her hands partially flailing in the air and hollered

“Oohhhhh cheebyeeee!!!”

Maybe it’s kinda hard for me to portray the actual way she did it, but you’ll have to imagine this - it was done as if cheebye is her favourite type of cheesecake and she’s imagining herself as a hungry mouse. Something like that. (I swear I didn’t make this up, I’ve got a couple of my colleagues who witnessed this incident as well)

I’m like, totally dumbfucked by her bizarre reaction. I’ve never seen anyone who’s so delirious about cheebye before. If there’s anyone who should be acting like this, I’ll expect it to come from a guy. A rustic guy, that is.

I wonder what’s the story behind this lady here. Maybe her cheebye absconded from her long time ago, she hasn’t seen it for ages. Or perhaps she’s into a cult of somekind that worships the female bearded clam like a divine idol (if you know anything about such cult, tell me about it…)

I think I’ll just becareful with my language next time… don’t wanna attract anymore weirdos…
