In the world through the eyes of Kitty Kuan, there are only 2 different types of people that matter to me and deserve my respect, no questions asked:
- Genuinely good-natured
- Intelligently admirable
Aloysius Mum = AM ≠ 1 or 2
She’s strangely the catalyst to his desire to fight for a better life that they can only dream and be envious of…
Incidently (definitely unintentional), she’s the one that constantly reminds me to appreciate those around me (especially my mum) …. willing devil’s advocate?
Every now and then, she’ll do something to keep this in check… no doubt she is conscientiously consistent
This is what happened : Sunday morning, we’ve decided to go for a jog to enjoy the benefits of serotonin and detoxification… it was sweltering at 31°C…
We came back sweat-drenched… admittedly I’m quite a pampered (overgrown) child, if I were at home I would just dump my sweaty attire in the laundry, socks and all, for my mum to clean it up…
However I was at his place so I hand-washed my clothes and my socks ( those poor little hands won’t be soft anymore) and hung out to dry…
Fast forward to Monday morning as we were rushing for work, she confronted him while I wasn’t there and told him that I couldn’t wash my clothes anymore in this house anymore due to increase in water and electricity consumption and his father being the sole-bread winner etc…
Initially I was miffed, it wasn’t the 1st incident that she directed her unreasonable nature towards me….
I’m naïve in the sense that I believe that everyone I meet is good-natured or wants to be… but reality tells a different story..
Previously, during the 1st incident I was shocked and even teared and Aloysius was pissed… it was ugly… she achieved her objective… and we learned another a valuable lesson…
This time I was ever so slightly pissed, considering that we were both groggy and my muscles were still aching.. but then I told myself that I couldn’t be bothered….although I was concerned about Aloysius… and I didn’t want to put him on the spot… he’s really a wonderful boy and he doesn’t deserve this… (all the years of ‘child-abuse’ she has subjected him to..pains me..)
Only someone like him can turn this to his advantage and grow stronger out of this…a lesser being would crumble and erm… start foaming in the mouth ahah…
Forgiven but not forgotten… I won’t get petty or vindictive about this but I won’t forget …
In time to come she will realise… and we won’t even have to make any effort…
Then we can all say… Adios Amigoes……la ku ka raaa cha!… laku ka raaa cha!… dididadadidida
