FORTUNE COOKIE Back in 2001 I was late going to the PI because of someone I decided to go with. She came from a tiny, unknown community in the south where there were only 54 houses and all the people are related to each other. I heard that from their village had to walk at least 4 hours to go to another village to find girls who are not distant relatives or belong to their immediate families. (I find it sooo romantic!) I had to walk kilometres! Just to find bread (but what gorgeous trails they have! all the way you hear trickling of water, gigantic boulders are scattered everywhere, and the smell of coffee flowers… and the rain! It never stops. THE MOST WONDERFUL VACATION I HAVE SO FAR. I stayed 2.5 months! She was originally booked to fly with Malaysian Airlines; and I supposed to be travelling with Singapore Airlines (the BEST there is) but we decided to be in the same airplane, and the only available that time was: KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) the most abominable airlines there is! So there we were, sitting, trying to be comfortable in the most smallest space I ever encountered in couch, the air conditioner above our head doesn't work properly, it's blowing at full-speed and there was no way to turn it off. The meal was not something to write home about (I know that the quality of airlines meals are not that great; but this one surpassed everything I’d known) and the amount so little, even for a small eater like me. After the food, an airline attendant gave me a FORTUNE COOKIE. I noticed that I had one already on my tray, so I refused it. But NO SIR! He kept insisting. The conversation goes like this: 'Ma'am, it's your fortune cookie' flashing his chic-lets teeth, it's so white I doubt it's real. 'No, thank you but I have mine already.' trying to hide my annoyance. 'No ma'am. This one is yours.' flashes of white teeth again. 'Look, here is mine. I have it.' me showing the COOKIE. 'Read it ma'am, and you will see, that it's yours.' To end the ridiculous conversation, I accepted the said FORTUNE COOKIE. I found out that it was already open. When I took the small paper inside, it says: ' YOU HAVE SEX APPEAL AND SOME PEOPLE ARE SENSITIVE TO IT' I don't know what to think. I asked myself: how many FORTUNE COOKIES he had to open to find the proper one TO HIT ON ME? That was not the end of it though. In the course of the flight, he offered to take me sight-seeing in KUALA LUMPUR (we had to stop-over there) He tried to persuade me to stay few days in MALAYSIA, and had given me his address in AMSTERDAM plus his cell no. I could have done few things. Like REPORT HIM TO HIS SUPERIOR. I find it a waste of my time. I will never see him again because I’m not going to fly with KLM ever! And that will be long and painful process. PUT HIM ON HIS PLACE THERE AND THEN. I hate scandal and making scenes. Ignoring him says enough. OR I COULD PLAY ALONG WITH HIS ADVANCES. But it's not me. One night stand will never be my thing. NOT EVEN WITH TALL, BLOND, BLUE-EYED with uniformed, white, flashing teeth. Besides, I AM NOT INTO BLOND. The FORTUNE COOKIE (paper) I keep though. Just to remind me of…  ~ Jolielaide  |
