Part 6

*Sorry for such a long delay from my biography part 5 to 6 as I was quite busy with setting up the new Onyx branch at Boat Quay.


Let's carry on with the real life story of my drama dad and his relationship with my step mother. Eventually they could not mend the marriage and decided to get a divorce. My dad was pretty upset but I highly doubt it's because of losing my step mother, it's more likely of losing his son. They compromise on the term that my dad is allow to bring him home once or twice a week to spend some time with us. While they were separated and getting thru the divorce procedure, me and my dad would bring my little brother out for some fun moment. He was such a cute and smart little boy then, only 3yrs old. That's the best moment of a child.


At times when he's naughty my dad would scold him and he would stand on the chair beside me, hug me around my neck, stare at my dad and scold him back saying he would call the police. Lol... So cute isn't he? I clearly remembered another incident when he was bathing in those small tub and wouldn't get out of the water. My dad got so piss and started shouting at him. He folded his arm, frown at my dad and told him off saying "pa pa! u cannot scold me huh!" He was so cute my dad couldn't bear to be angry with him. He's the only one in the whole world that can whack and scold my dad and will not get it.


Life goes on with this routine, my little brother will get to spend some time with us each week till some thing happened. One night as usual after spending a day with us, my dad brought him home. The moment he reaches the void deck of my step mother's place, he saw her coming back on a bike with another man. Jealousy gets to him, I guess. He was so pissed that he brought my step brother back home again and doesn't want to send him back to her. The next morning my step mother came up to my place with the police. They went to the station had an argument and my dad decided not to see him anymore. That is the last I've seen of my little step brother. He is born in 1989 and he is 20 now, all grown up. Dad heard his news thru some common friends and know that he is a smart boy, goes to good school and study real hard. Well, that's such a comfort to hear. It's a good thing he didn't follow my dad, if he did things will be very different.


His life would probably not be so good. He might even go through the shit that I went through. My dad is very temperamental, bad tempered and violent. A man over flowed with pride and ego. I only moved home from all the different nannies and relatives house to stay with him when I'm about 7yrs old. Hell starts bit by bit, he's like a volcano that will erupt any moment. I have to be very careful with my words in case I say something that he doesn't like to hear, I'll get into trouble. I have to pray that nothing in the house spoils, if not I will get it. I have to make sure nobody complain anything about me to him, if not I can't imagine how I will suffer.


The moment something spoils at home, it's always me and it have to be me and no one else even when my step mother is still with us. I will sure be the one to get it. My dad doesn't whack me with cane. I'm like a stress releaser for him. He would vent everything on me. When he's out there working he's really nice to everyone and so no one really believe the kind of shit I get from him at home. He would always pull my hair and slam on the walls, kick me, throw things at me, use belt to whip me, chase me down the stairs and give me a kick from behind and start kicking me when I'm on the floor, cut my hair, put me out of the window to make me admit things that i never do and threaten to throw me down, pour water on me when im on bed and I do not dare to get up so slept thru the night all wet, point joss sticks on me face so near that i move a cm I'll be burned. I do not retaliate or answer him or argue or quarrel with him and yet I am getting all that. Can u even imagine what will become of me if I did? I guess I will be long dead! There's a lot more but I think it's time to stop for now before my mood is affected by thinking too much of the past.


*Part 6 should be the longest episode so far. As I might not be able to update so often, I will try to write a longer one each time. In order not to think about the past so much when I'm trying to refresh my memory and things start getting back to me, I would stop and carry on next time. Wouldn't want to upset myself with all these bad memories...

Happy Reading...

New Marlboro in the Market

Marlboro Ice Blast. Interesting... Ice minty when u smoke it but if u want it really cold squeeze the ice ball in the filter and blast it with a click sound. Wala! U get really cold menthols sweet tasting aroma. Interesting huh?

Comments from friends in FB:

Jeffrey Lim- Oh... I din know about the squeezie thingy..

Alycia Goh- Jeffrey- at first when I try I smoke without squeezing. Then after that I squeezed it or should I say I thought I did. but when I let my friend try, she squeeze it really hard and we both heard a click sound that's when the small little ice ball really blast. That's the right way to squeeze it. Lol...

Jeffrey Lim- Yuan lai ru ci... Too bad there's no instruction manual to this new thingy...

Alycia Goh- Jeff- there is, right behind on the bottom. I like the packaging very much. Looks damn cool lor... Black and blue... The black part looks very carbon fiber style... Lol...

Jeffrey Lim- Yea, that one I really agree... I actually quit smoking for 1 week ler, then I saw the new thing and itchy itchy smoke again. =P

Jeffrey Lim- Ooo... I just tried it... It is amazing!! Tastes like bubble gum. and it lasts rather long. But dun smoke too deep into the butt. =)

Alycia Goh- Jeffrey- I perfer it without blasting the ice ball. But I always blast at the last few puff for the refreshing taste... Lol...

Jeffrey Lim- I see... I like both. Looks like this is my new favourite cig. =)

Melissa Cherish Chu- hey i tried very hard to squeeze it but still no "click" sound, just bought so far smoked 3 liao, tried to squeeze all 3 but like no diff lor, n i did try quite hard T_T

Melissa Cherish Chu- machiam like squeeze any harder the whole filter will drop off lor =(

Jeffrey Lim- You have to do it REALLY hard... dun worry about crushing it. =)

Melissa Cherish Chu- wah piangz, REALLY hard, later let me try again, hmm

Simon Ng- squeeze the ball hard so it can give a refreshing taste...hmmm...first time heard this kind of interesting new cig...

Melissa Cherish Chu- tried again just now, still cant, lousy me, lolxx

Jeffrey Lim- Oooo... buy a hammer!! =P

Stone Lam- must try since I am a (M)an (A)lways (R)emember (L)ady (B)ecause (O)f (R)omance (O)nly supporter.

Ah Wee- i jus tried the new stuff... ok, not bad... but it's 20 cents more

Melissa Cherish Chu- yeah finally got it!!!!!

Jeffrey Lim- Weee... how u like it?

Melissa Cherish Chu- tasted like colgate lor

Ah Wee- bought a pack n pass arnd a few sticks with frnds... overall say is quite amaze on how the ball booster works. For me i find it 8.5/10 cos i smoke red, occasionally will puff a mentos... i notice they use the word discharge than a feel of turbo mentos.. "Discharge sounds like vd leh' hehehehe. suck vd? hehehe

Alycia Goh- Wee- Lol... Interesting right? I perfer it without blasting the ball but will always do it at the last few puff...


Alycia Goh- Melissa- Some say like menthols sweet, some say like bubble gums... Lol...


* Was wondering why they didn't come out with a none menthol cig and put this ice ball blast thingy in there so that we hv the option of menthol and none menthol. That's a brilliant idea isn't it? But come to think of it, they are really smart cause if they do that then people will only buy one pack to share instead of 2 different packs if there's none menthol and menthol social smokers around. That will bring down their sales.

 Am  not trying to encourage smoking, But as a smoker myself discovering this new interesting cig, just wanna share with all fellow smokers... Quite a interesting conversation we've got on this Marlboro Ice Blast ciggies huh? Lol.... I think Marlboro should pay me for advertising for them... Heehee...
