What Happens When Writer's Block Strikes...

The setting: My bedroom

Attendance: Me (E) and my alter-ego, Little Boss (LB).

Reason for interview: None

Is the interview going to start anytime soon?: Yes

LB: Are you comfy there?

E: (Whilst reclining on bed) Uh-huh.

LB: What do you wanna talk about?

E: Duh..aren't you supposed to interview me?

LB: What did you do today?

E: Did some work. Updated my Mom's Mac. Made lunch for me and fella.

LB: Fella and I.

E: Didn't make you lunch.

LB: I mean, the proper way to say it is "fella and I".

E: Oh. Are you the grammar police now?

LB: Well, if you keep on mangling it, I very well might be.

E: Are you trying to pick a fight? 'Cos I'm sensing very hostile vibes here.

LB: Wait.. let's start again.

E: OK. That's 2 minutes of my life I'm never getting back.

LB: Phbbbbth..

E: Now that's mature!

LB: OK..OK.. What are your plans for the evening?

E: Thought I'd go meet some old  MRSM friends. They're about the only ones I'm regularly meeting nowadays :(

LB: Haven't you met up with other friends?

E: No. Been too busy and guilty to socialise. I miss my friends so much....

LB: Oh.

E: (Looks into space, depressed)

LB: So tell me.. why have you been meeting up with your MRSM friends?

E: We're having a reunion in July, so we're making plans and stuff.

LB: That's nice! Where's the reunion going to be held?

E: Well, we have this Silver Jubilee thingy at MRSM itself, then later that night it's Part-ay Time at the hotel!!

LB: Must be fun.

E: It is! Can't wait to see old friends again.

LB: How's your married life?

E: That's a bit out of the blue isn't it? Not to mention highly intrusive! Kay Poh Chee much? One second we were talking about the reunion....

LB: Just making conversation, OK?

E: Married life is great! Fella and I took a short break to Penang last weekend with the family and it was exactly what we needed.

LB: Are you traveling anywhere else soon?

E: Yep. We're going to Langkawi this weekend for an assignment.

LB: Wow. Two islands in two weekends. That must be fun.

E: It is! But don't know how much of the beach we can enjoy since the next trip is work related. Besides, fella isn't a beach bum. Which reminds me, I need to buy a swimming suit.

LB: It's 8.07pm. Shouldn't you be getting ready to go out?

E: Yikes! Can we continue this interview later?

LB: Well.. it's quite a boring interview. You don't do anything interesting, do you?

E: (Getting depressed). Well thanks a lot, Mrs Obvious.

LB: Er.. you're welcome.

E: Are you being sarcastic now?

LB: Wha..huh???

E: Look... just because I don't bungee jump, or roll down hills in a plastic ball doesn't mean my life's boring, OK? I have my share of fun. Just this day I decided to make 2 separate lunches instead of 1.

LB: Er...

E: Not only that, I made mashed potatoes from fried potatoes rather than boiled. And I used white pepper instead of black.

E: And to top it all off, I made fella kopi susu with local black coffee instead of Nescafe today. How's that for excitement???!

E: (Pauses to assess her statements)

E: Who am I kidding? I'm Mrs Boring McBorington!
