The O.C. Part 2

The 2nd part to perhaps a long lasting series of rants about my obnoxious colleague, JxMMy D...

After the in depth characteristic features about him in Part 1, let's relate some significant tales about our main man that never failed to bore me and my colleagues as we would have our weekly tirade about the man we love to detest...

Love interest

One of the most amazing tale that I wouldn't get sick of listening is JxMMy's love timeline...
Been as down-to-earth as he is, as introvert as he is, he would not be your average casanova or even let his feelings made clear to the girls he ever fancied...

One of his earliest target in our workplace was a former colleague, C who like him one of the pioneer in our service establishment..
Working side by side everyday as well as taking the same part time course at SIM , it would be pretty logical for our male lead to take a fancy to perhaps the only female friend he has in contact to day in day out...
Unfortunately for our stoic friend, she was very attached and this year blissfully wedded to her long time beau...

So JxM D continued his prowl for brand new targets which include a colleague of mine now, YM (whom he was also pretty devastated when he overheard she was attached as well, poor loser..HA HA!)

It was until he met his wife,LL.... It was love at first sight for her, maybe not so much for him.
In fact he was her very first target cum idol when she first joined the company, but he was remotely showing any interest, she went on to fall for a co-worker in her own lab but did not receive the affection she has been giving...
Which resulted her to fall to her very 1st plan and with help from colleagues, managed to brace up her courage to ask JxM D for their initial date (not too difficult if you tell me)
The strange thing is that her initiation was through e-mail and sms but long never got any reply...
The problem lies in the guy, he was waiting for her confirmation of date and venue all along... yikes...

After a few dates, one of the inquisitive colleagues, BY who was also JxM's poly course-mate had to prompt him to reveal the status qup between him and LL, and the ungentlemanly JxM's only response was to be irritated and shrugged his shoulder-blade (one of his trademark movement), and exclaimed "神經 ah!" (crazy!)

well no way the skeleton in the closet was to show and the 2 became an item but the wife after causing successive shut down of the laboratories she was assigned to, decided to seek a new job environment, perhaps to prevent any unnecessary attentions from other people from the company (especially JxM's horde of adoring fans)

And in only 1 and a half year time they wedded, and live happily ever after.. They surely is made for each other, she had a problem with weraing socks underneath her sandals and could really stink like the incinerator while he has a very bad sense of smell...

Hygiene

I mentioned briefly about JxM's hygiene problem in my last post, but there were 2 case that could bring this to a brand new level...
WARNING: The below may contains some nauseating vivid description, so you better not eat anything while reading this....
  • Case 1: There was once a colleague spotted him scampering into the Gents urgently with mucus seen decorating hie left cheek....He doesn't carry a pack of tissue paper with him and when a wet sneeze comes by this would bound to happen.
  • Case 2: Once when C, JxM D and their SIM friends had dinner at a steamboat restraunt, our dear friend was too indulged in his food that little did he noticed that there were food residues smearing his entire lower jaw area... Just as C wanted to offer him tissue paper to clean up, he turned around and all the residues were gone and it was spotlessly cleansed, just make a guess where the food went to...
Saying the Wrong Thing at the Wrong Time

One of the main reason why I abstain from talking to him is that he has a knack been 100% negative and pessismistic as well as saying the wrong thing at the wrong time...

One case to highlight it all was in 2003 as I was preparing happily for my Japan trip, he asked with concern about my departure date and period of stay which I duly replied... then

J: You think it's ok?
Me: Ok? What you mean?
J: There might be terrorist attack in Tokyo! (That time Osama's Al Qaeda warns Japan about sending troops to assist U.S. in Iraq in their wrecking Hussein's regime)
Me (feeling really hot up by then): well if it happens it happens, I mean we can have it anywhere!
J: yah even in Singapore and Malaysia
Me: No lah we have such huge Muslim population here...
J: no lah, they will "格殺勿論" (kill indiscrimiinately)

From that point I ended the conversation abruptly and stormed to complain to the rest of the colleagues...

Another incident was when the Nobel Prize winning laureate, Professor Brenner invited us for buffet dinner at Shangri La Hotel... While engrossed in his heap of shell fishes and crabs, he made a passing remark when seeing us having our raw oysters, "er.. oysters have high cholesterol level"
Seemingly disturbed by the remark, YM rebuked, "wow you shell fish is also very high in unhealthy cholestrol level"...
Man dude, get a clue they hate your guts, so better keep your comments to your self, don't even anwser when we asked you!

well that's all for this week, stay tuned to the next instalment of what I call.. "The O.C."....
