Tactless

Youth and idealism certainly comes hand in hand. Just fresh out of school, we're usually full of rose-tinted dreams and towering ambitions, filled with righteous fire and zeal all ready to make our mark and conquer the world. And yet even with the most hardened, cynical teenager, there's always this certain innocence and naivete that lends itself to the most surprising ( and ultimately refreshing ) comments.

The innocents!Surprisingly even with the patent charms of his disreputable shack, Handsome Hui has somehow managed to lure two unsuspecting tenants into his shadowy lair - no doubt enticed by the alluring sight of his barely clad lean physique ( oh wait, that's me! ). Like the bewitched, bothered and bewildered victims of horror flicks, the two innocents marched blindly to their doom as they unwittingly set up camp in Handsome Hui's House of Horrors.

As I tried my best to save the stumbling duo, I managed to whisk the younger partner away for lunch... hereby called Junior Jesse. The surprisingly charming, youthful barista certainly didn't find anything amiss in the House of Horrors despite the eeriely swinging porch, the flickering neon lights and the dangling cobwebs. Obviously the ubiquitous Amityville Mansion interior design style seems to have found an ardent fan in him. All my attempts to draw him away from certain doom turned out a sad failure as Jesse seemed patently oblivious to it all. Hui just watched me balefully over his lunch, possibly promising painful tortures with whips, leather and hot oils... ( wait, that's me again! )

Still the lunch didn't turn out to be a waste of my effort since Jesse's foot-in-the-mouth disease turned out to be quite painfully hilarious.

Jesse : So that's how you got to know Hui. You work with him?
Paul : Yeah, I do. See him quite often at work actually.
Jesse : Do you guys eat each other often?

As you can believe, I practically choked on a wantan. Word for word, that's what he said. And since Handsome Hui has actually found his way to my humble blog, he can certainly confirm what was said. Thankfully, what Junior Jesse actually meant was did we take lunch together - and not some purported attempt at cannibalism. Innocent mistake, I'm sure, and I was quick to point out that I have never actually had the chance to eat, lick or bite on any portion of Handsome Hui.

Still, it did give me some deliciously wicked ideas. :)

Sure, as being youth you must have teh good idealism, and conquer the world, you have the essence of freshness and all, mind, physical and mental ability to do everything...

of course, we can expect nothing less than insidious flashes in the mind of our most imaginative doctor, now can we? ehehehe.

Stinging Rabbit said...

You certainly have a very good imagination and a very naughty mind at that DOCTOR Paul. As long as no one gets hurt. Lolz ;)

LOL. then again, if you did 'eat' hui in any way, don't you think jesse just want to trick you into spilling the beans?

savante said...

True, all the stuff you must have as a young kadult, neil :)

Well, i did do that. But not on him, sue!

It was a hilarious freudian slip, ian. Had me laughing away.

Insidious flashes? :)

silentside, it's in my head only. Unless Barry wants to make it all real.

Sure, Calvin, email or msn me and I'll tell you exactly how. Just add it to the template.

Yeah, it was funny, anonymator.

Romance between the doctors, musang? Hmmm...

Doubt he'd approve of me publishing his picture for all to see, jay. Must get his permission first.

Jesse is just past jailbait - and edible if you like twinkies. Answer your question, sugarshed? :)

Thats the problem with using English wrongly. People misinterprete what you actually mean to say.

But maybe he was just being cheeky. Jail-baiters and all.
