The long and short about The Break Up

I was packing my stuff for home just now when I heard some noise coming from the opposite cubicle. I was unnerved for a while because, well, the 7th Month has just passed and I’m a really hum ji kind of guy.

Fortunately, that turned out to be a false alarm. The kaypoh in me made me walk over, and I found Office Bimbo sobbing at her desk. I didn’t know what to say, so I just offered her a tissue. Turned out to be a bad mistake because she started bawling even louder, and said “Would you have dinner with me please?”

In between her many mugs of beers, Office Bimbo revealed that she has been ditched by her SLK-Driving Boyfriend. It turns out that she has been charging high amounts to his Platinum card account, and his father was not exactly pleased.

“But it’s not my fault!” Office Bimbo, clutching her mug of beer bitterly, was the epitome of the bitter beer drinker. “I splurged on fine clothes, fine bags and fine make-up so that he can feel proud when he intro me to his friends! Life is so not fair!!!!”

“But you know, you can look very good with This Fashion too!” I decided to reserve further comments after she gave me a rude stare.

“To hell with Men!” Office Bimbo was obviously not appreciative of her company. “Henceforth, I shall invest my time and beauty in someone who will really appreciate me for who I am. Someone who recognize me for my talents. Someone who will measure me by my virtues and not by my cup size.”


I nearly spurt out my drink when she turned her gaze towards me.


“Sibeh Sian, can you do something very important for me?”

“Eh. . . . Haha. . . . OK!”

“Help me call for a taxi.”


So being the dutiful colleague I am, I called her a cab as instructed, and even saw her to her place because she was walking rather unsteadily. I hope she will pay me the cab fare in full tomorrow sia.

Anyway, the funny thing is that Ms Tan happened to walk pass while I was helping Office Bimbo into the cab. She saw me holding Office Bimbo by the shoulders, and she looked very, very disturbed.

I have a bad feeling about tomorrow.

With Love,
Sibeh Sian
