Helen ’ hey baby can come and pick me from office ? '
Me ’ har ? What u mean ? '
H ’ I tender my resignation already … !! '
I paused a while and think .
Stunt !
Me ’ U mean … U gave 24 hours notice ? '
H ’ yah ! '
Me ’ ok ok ok … I wasn’t expecting this but ok I am coming …. Wait at our usually pick up point area'
I got dress fast and floor e BMw . I never imagine she would resign immediately . I never imagine my worst nightmare is about to begin too .
I arrived to pick Helen up and saw she and some off her friends hugging. Crying and saying their goodbyes .
I assist her to load up the stuff and she jump inside the cAr .
Me ’ I wasn’t expecting U to quit just like that !!'
H ’ does it matter , I wanted to stop working anyway ! '
Me ’ and be a spoil socialite ?'
Helen turn her head and look out of the window …
I floored the gas pedal and the turbo kick in , roaring down the expressway .
Helen body stiffen up as she grap the door handle .
I felt bad that I scared her, slowly my foot came off the gas pedal .
Me ’ sorry … We do lunch at the swimming club ? '
Helen ’ ok ’ … She replied back softly …

With Helen staying home most of the time, the days ahead became extremely tough for me. After she woke up from bed, she would head to the kitchen and check on the maid. A slight thing that was not to her satisfaction the maids would get scolding from her.
She would accompany me for my physiotherapy and keep a watch on the female staff . At times she even request for a male staff if she felt something wasnt right. Her appetite for high end food means we only have our meals in fancy restaurant. This lead her to put on weight fast.
Helen " dear do,u think I am fat? "
Me " no"
Helen " u took so long to answer ! "
Me " baby I am driving and looking for the restaurant u wAnted to go to"
Helen faced was like the dark cloud. She turn up volume of the stereo set and drown my voice while I was try to clam her down. As soon as the car arrived at the hotel lobby. She hop and slam the door so hard, that the valet driver was stunt. Without waiting for me, she already went ahead and pile up her plate from the buffet table. I took a seat first at the table to have a sip of water. Helen returned, sat down and started eating,
I had no mood, not to mention appetite. I came back with my plate with just rice and vegetables.
Helen " I pay close to 80 dollars for this Buffett and u come here to eat vegetables?
Me " is ok this meal I pay! "
She stood up without replying me and went to get more food.
A whole plate of seafood was placed before me as Helen took her seat.
The sight of food disgusted me ! I could not even finished my food and call for the waitress to clear my plate.
Helen spoke " next week I am heading to gym class on Monday and Thursday,
Me “ok "
The first week was ok. The 2nd week gym class got more intense and it becomes Monday to Thursday . Instead of coming back at noon she heads back at 6pm. At times drunk. She would head straight up to undress and sleep. Once I spotted her credit card bill while clearing her stuff for washing. The items purchase were mostly men stuff.
I kept my cool and never say a word for close to a month.
Down the road my relationship with Helen didn’t improved. In fact it got worst, We no longer sleep in the same room. She heads back home everyday at 11 to 12 midnight drunk. I got tired of baby sitting her that I opt to sleep in a different room. When morning comes, she will grab her gym back and the family driver will sent her for classes.
The domestic helpers had even more concern for me than Helen. They make sure that i eat well. And serve me birds nest , double boil soup etc.
My ex army friends SMS me saying that is ladies night asking me to join them. Since I had nothing on , I say ok to them.
I arrived 45 mins as I couldn’t find a lot. Turning around in circles to find a vacant URA lot. I gave up and parked my car at a Telok kurau private estate and walk down to e Club.
It was a Vietnamese joint. The guys were already there drinking jugs of beer. There was poles sticking around so I suspect it is some pole dancing plus HFJ.
Warrant officer A " SGT … WTH …why so late ?
Me " hey , how may times must I remind u guys … STOP calling me SGT . U guys are now warrant officers … What e ……
WO B " ok ok our mistake …. But u are late .. U must do extra ! "
Me " all drinks on me Lah … "
The guys cheer and clap their hands.
Me " hey guys drinks only arh, hand flower and gals your own problem . I am not keen arh"
WO C " don’t speak so soon , wait till u see the gals"
The music beat increase In pace. The spot lights came flashing round and round . Two Vietnamese gals came out in a bra and tight shorts. They started their routine and the crowd cheer on. I was stunt for a while.
WO A pass me a pack of wet tissue . I look at him. He signal me to wipe my drool off. I throw the pack at his face and ask him to look at the stage with my hand gesture.
The act end and soon the viet singers started to take stage. A few flowers went up and that was abt it. It was a small joint. The guys were regular i think. Soon their gals came up to me . To my surprise the gals spoke good mandarin. I could understand them but I couldn’t speak mandarin.
WO B " hey dude all of them asking abt u … What’s your background ! "
Me " whatever lah guys not keen on viet gals lah"
WO C " hey they want to intro their sister to u leh "
Me " kns … Everyone is brother and sister right comrade !"
WO C " Charles relax lah…. We are here to chill ! "
Me " sorry guys … Got some family problems "
WO A " ok ok nvr mind …. Later we go to another viet joint next to hard rock . The gals are coming along , they want to intro a nice singer to u . Not those hanky panky type.,
It was almost closing time I called for the bill and paid for it.
WO B " Charles u want to get your car ready , another 30mins we are good to go"
Me " ok "
The guys spare me the drinking knowing they will need me for transport to the next joint.
With five minutes to spare I arrived just outside the pub. One of the viet gals show me her handphone and pics of her sister that they want to intro.
Viet gal " u got we chat ? "
Me " no "
WO B " Charles download the app lah , don’t be so square …. "
WO A " shit man Charles change car again ! U are driving a better car than our camp CO man ! "
Me " hop in lah , don’t talk so much.
WO C took the front seat most likely high already closing his eyes to rest. The back was taken by three gals and the remaining two guys.

At 0845hrs , my phone beep " meet me at the lift lobby sharp at 9am we are moving out"
It was my first day at work and I was told to report to HR at 9am. Took up my bag and press the lift button. It was peak hours and the lift buzzing chime kept ringing non stop each time the lift door open.
The crowd was non stop on the move, it wasn’t a scene I am familiar with. In fact it was my first time working in the “marina square " vicinity .
My eyes glue to the different lift doors that were open . Looking out for for the staff I am supposed to meet.
A lady with trolley bag can running towards me ….
Lady " let’s go the car is waiting outside "
Together we ran outside towards the drop area, witnessing the security officer chasing every car that park to pick up passengers.
The lady took the front seat, I slam the booth after placing the bag inside for her.
Lady " welcome aboard , I am sorry I have to put you through this on your first day”
Me " is ok"
Lady " I am the PA for the CEO . U can call me CIN short form for Cindy . We are heading to collect the new car before picking up VIP guest from seletar airport."
She didn’t speak at word more till we reach at the center to have the paper work done up before the new car was released .
CIN " u are very fortunate , first day on the job and u got a new car to drive, pls take good care of the car "
Me " I will "
I sat in the drivers seat making all the pre driving checks before signing the release form.
Me " ok we are good to go"
CIN " great , do we have time for me to head home ? "
She gave me the address and I did a calculation on the timing.
Me " yes we can make it "
CIN " let’s go then "
