A Killjoy

This is an entry written for my other well-mentioned personality in my blog, none other than Mr. Gecko.

It started with him taking the earlier half of today off work for the second round of interviews in this giant, finance corporation (Mr. Gecko warned me not to mention names just in case they sue... hahaha... nobody reads my blog anyway). Straying a little off the main subject, well, he was definitely not impressed with having to meet so, so, so many interviewers for an executive position he was applying for. In total, there will be 6 interviewers seizing him up separately. Why do some corporations take so much efforts, garner so much manpower to interview one right candidate and evetually missing out on grooming and making an employee happy? Hey boss, read and ponder!

Anyhow, back to main subject. Eventually, either feeling satisfied with his own performance with the round of interviews or in a rare display of laxing mental discipline, Mr. Gecko while choosing his lunch menu of the day, succumb to the golden-fried, crunchy and irresistibly tasty chicken wing! Wait, this is not the shocker. Both of us are 90% vegetarians with low tolerance and preference for mock meat, so we do eat meat at times though Mr. Gecko is more disciplined than me, for one who started being a vegan a few years ago.

But who should come traipising round the corner while Mr. Gecko is happily tucking into the wings? For this, you must know a few details about Mr. Gecko's family whom everybody is strictly into Buddhism and thus vegetarianism. To apt my entry title and of all people, he had to bump into his second elder brother who, is the most pious of them all. I could just imagine Mr. Gecko's immediate regret in either choosing the wrong food or the wrong place to eat.

He was telling me how he was thinking quickly whether to hide himself physically or the chicken wings from his brother. But the milk 's spilt and the brother I guess, is now making mental notes to invite Mr. Gecko for more Buddhism sessions, and to bring me along - all thanks to Mr. Gecko's chicken wings...

Well, Mr. Gecko is a tad upset with his weakness revealed so upfront in a most unexpected circumstance. But I am sure his brother will not be so noble-minded to judge him based on one very rare act. No one's perfect to a T. Who has never unknowingly flashed their undies before? ;)

You know what I mean MR. GECKO.
