Wil rocks my world :) :) i was having such a bad day until i read his email... Now i'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside :)
His email:
Hi Cheryl,
You really don't know how nice it is to hear your "voice" again~! Yay! Cheryl's safe and sound!
Yeah, anyway, since i don't see you online very often anymore, let's just keep conversing thru email.
See, the thing is that i'm currently having my internship attachment and thus it's not very nice to use MSN all day long while all the full time staff are working their asses off. So while i try to stick closely to my office hours, i try to get as much done as possible while on the job (and that's also not very possible with msn on). Usually i hang out abit after work so i get home at about 9+ to 10pm and get online on MSN about an hour to catch up with friends, and then i go to sleep cos i need to wake up early for the next day again.
Hahah.. Let me whine for abit..
You know Cheryl, i really think i'm not suitable for working life. It's.. report to work at 830.. work till 12.30 den go for lunch back at 1.30.. work all the way thru to 6+ den knock off. It's really quite jialat lah actually. I totally understand why Singaporeans are getting so fat!
They just sit at their desks and handle all the mental stress of the work.. this indirectly makes them physically tired, but the only muscles they've been using are their fingers and mouth. So the rest of the body goes to shit (not real shit.. of course..). because the mental stress makes life difficult for them, they get little pockets of delight through EATING GOOD FOOD and going shopping because there's no point having so much money in the bank account.
And there the cycle goes again and again.. WAH LAOO... cheryll.. i'm into day 3 of my job and i'm feeling this way.... WHYYYYYYYYY
Seriously.. i don't think i'm cut out to be an office worker. I seriously can't work while wearing a long sleeve shirt and trousers and leather shoes and sitting prim and proper at an office table.
I know you've never studied with me before, but for Wil to concentrate, he has to take of his shoes, empty all this pockets, squat on a chair, and ramble strange words to himself every now and then (which most probably explains why you've never studied with me before). And doing that is totally not possible in an office environment!!
Anyway, i guess, this is what everyone is going thru so i'm supposed to just follow this well-beaten path.. NOOOOOOOOOOo...... nvm.. i think i better think of something soon before i graduate.. or i'll just die this way.. :(.. Yah.. but don't mind me lah.. all employees are not happy.. that's the way things are lah..
Okay. NEXT.. What should Cheryl get for Wil?
See, Cheryl, the thing is that it's very difficult to get things for guy.. because most of the things guys want (Expensive guitars and cars and hot girls) are unattainable or too expensive. Considering the way globalization has taken the world, most probably anything you can possibly buy there is expensive and comes in sizes too big for asian man, and it's almost possible to find an Asian version of it in Singapore. So yes.. i can see tt it's difficult..
In simple forms.. guys like me want one of the three things explained below
1. An Expensive guitar - Which i know you don't know how to choose, nor willing to spend so much on me and it's too heavy to carry back. So i guess you should put this idea aside.
2. An Expensive car - Anything from GM motors could do. Ferraris and mustangs are fine too~! (Hahahahhahaha, I'm obviously kidding.. please don't get me a car, cheryl)
3. A Hot Girl - Just get me Cheryl Kong back safe and sound and i'll be super happy!
Ahahah.. okay.. yes.. i know i'm super crap.. can you blame me?
Okay lah.. here's a little real help that i can offer you, if you REALLY REALLY MUST buy something for me
Cheryl, please get me something that I can wear or use.. a nice jacket or a cap or watch or socks or belt or bag would be fine. Tee shirts are fine too.. but they typically make them too thick in the US, so i end up not being able to wear them in the Singaporean weather. Hahah.. apparels given by friends are usually my favourites because i can include it in my daily life to remind myself how great my friends are :)..
Okay.. after typing this super long email.. i feel like i've just had one super long and happy conversation and i'm now smiling to myself like a fool. *grinz*
Take good care of yourself!
Regards,
Wil

Wil!!! *big hug*
I haven't seen you online for ages as well! Figured you were off enjoying yourself after exams and I guess I was right. Haha. Wow, parasailing, snorkeling and scuba diving in Vietnam?! I didn't think they had all that :P Did u and shu hui have fun??
Anyways, I'm from the University of Virginia, not Virginia Tech. And although the other school is in the same state, its about 4 hours away from where i am so this school is pretty safe *i think* but thank u for your concern!! :) :) :) And if some crazy dude decides to do the same thing here, i promise i will hide under my bed and call the police while the gung-ho singaporean men here who've graduated from army go and take him down. Lol... (we really did have a conversation abt this and the s'porean guys really said that's what they'd do. haha so i'm safe).
One more month before i'm back in singapore... What would u like from the US of A? Coz i'm getting you something regardless so you might as well tell me what you want -grin-
Hope to see u online soon!!
With warmest wishes to the sweetest guy on campus,
Cheryl

Hi Cheryl..
You've once again dissappear off Wil's world map, and this is his attempt to locate you again..
I was in Vietnam when i heard of the shootings at Virginia Tech.. How's everything going at your side? (obviously, wil has no idea what school you're in... so he had to go to the virginia tech website to look for the names of the deceased to make sure you're not among them.. this isn't really a joke, though it sounds abit funny)
Just to update you, i went with shuhui for a vietnam getaway last week so we did abit of snorkeling, scubadiving, parasailing, jet skiing, and lots of eating seafood..
Well, i hope to hear from you soon :)
Regards,
Wil
