Dodo's Production - "Starting of Lesbian?"
She hadnt wretched in over 5 hours at da thought of Myst's big announcement.
Dodo padded down the hall from the bedroom where she'd slept after their all-nighter. Dodo lay curled in a fetal position on her sofa - correction - Myst's freaking pain-in-the-ass-to-keep-clean sofa. She couldnt even lie there and mourn without breathing in the scent of him.
as thats her favourite of all ..
yummy~~? " Jane's tone was coaxing, like a mother talking to a toddler. =)
Dodo sat bolt upright and pulled her friend back by da arm. "No, dont. It's him!
"If u value our friendship, don't move!"
huh???? there.. all in a sudden.. neighbour's lodged a report saying that there's sth goin on in the neighbourhood when they heard the arguement between Dodo n Myst.

Dodo's Production - "Myst3's Secret"
Author : Dodo
===========
=========================
Featuring: Dodo, Alvin and Myst3
=========================
"Myst, Yang, whr r u?"
"In the bedroom,"
Dodo headed to da kitchen whc was done in shiny blue n white tile. This is Dodo's domain, she loved to cook. Dodo poured herself a glass of milk n then went bck to da hall.
"well cmon out here n tell me about ur day."
myst strolled out. 5 9", he had wide shoulders that tapered down to a broad chest. His waist n hips were narrow. Wit skin the color of white choco, he turned heads when he entered a room. He dressed in a Ralph Lauren cotton knit shirt the color of black sand tucked into barley white pants. Muscular arms looked more like they were accustomed to lifting weights. Dodo smiled up at him from the sofa. She fiddled with the button on her silk lingerie.
"Dodo yang, we need to talk,"
Myst wore a sober expression.
"Sure, sweet thing. i like it when u talk to me," Dodo leaned forward to be sure he had a view of her plunging demi-bra. She gav him a saucy smile.
Myst turned away n clasped his hands together.
"Dont do tat. Im serious, ok?
It's about us... me."
Something in his tone sent a shiver of anxiety down her spine. Dodo suddenly felt exposed, vulnerable. Dodo hurriedly pulled her blouse closed.
"Sure".
"Sounds like we both need a glass of water."
She tried to tease him out of his grin mood.
"Damn right. I'll get it."
She watched him thru the pass-thru window tat allowed a view of the kitchen from the hall. The oak shutters were pulled bck. Myst poured himself a glass of wine, drank from it then filled the glass again. He sighed n walked back to hall. Dodo set her glass down. Her patience was wearing thin. For months
now she'd played understanding woman to his blue moods. After all, they'd been lovers, frens since long ago. But she'd reached her limit.
"Myst, wats up with u? If ive done sth to make u mad?"
"Nonono. Its nt anythin u've done,"
myst answered hastily bt then stopped. he raked his fingers thru his hair.
"Then wat??!! Look, we've known each other too long. u can talk to me."
"I dont know where to begin. This is different." myst twisted his hands n paced in front of her.
Dodo felt tears forming in her eyes, pushing to get out.Suddenly all the distance she'd felt btwn them made perfect sense.
"Uve found someone else."
"Its more complicated than tat. i've found me, a different me than ive ever allowed myself to be." Myst stopped pacing n looked at her steadily.
She felt a shiver of relief. Dodo got up.
"An identity crisis? Yang, everyone approaching 25 goes thru tat kinda thing." He stopped back when she
reached for him.
"Right! im coming to terms with being the person i really am, n i always hav been." Myst nodded with vigor.
Dodo's eyes narrowed. "So, does this finding the real Myst3 also include findin another woman?"
"No..."
Myst pursed his lips for a second then sighed.
"Its a man.."
"Excuse me?" dodo's heart stopped. "Did u juz say MAN?"
"Ive been struggling with this sexual identity Q for yrs, yang. n i hope u love me enough to understand. im gay, or at least i think i am." The words spilled out in a rush.
"Gay,"
Dodo repeated the word in a dazed voice. The floor seemed to tilt beneath her feet as the walls closed in on her. Her heart began to thump so hard it hurt. She started to hyperventilate.
Myst leaned toward her with a look of concern on his cute face. "Wow yang. Jus take slow n steady breaths!" When he reached out a long arm to brace her, Dodo jerked away.
"dont touch me u - U!!" she hissed.
dodo fell back onto the sofa like dead weight... she couldnt have lifted her legs if she'd tried. She panted 3
times then caught her breath. "Oh God!" she gasped finally.
"I never wanted to hurt u yang." Myst sat on the sofa but at a safe distance. dodo put a hand to her forehead. "OH GoD," she kept mumbling.
" I care about u, yang. n thats the truth. its juz that. im tired of denying wat i really feel. Ive met someone -"
"Oh god!" now dodo sprang from the sofa. "Did u...while were ..." She sputtered.
"Of coz not..! I;d nve do anything to put u at risk or betray u."
"How damn noble u r, Myst.! No imagine u juz started flirting wit ur future BF. i feel so much damn better knowing how much u care!" Dodo shouted as she swung her arms around.
"ALvin ???!!! is it him??""
" Yang, calm down. Pls," myst said, his voice shaky.
"Don call me YANG again or i'll throw up all over this freaking white furniture tat u insisted we buy."
"Yang - dodo, dont. this is hard enough for me."
"Its always about u, isnt it, myst.? This sofa, these stupid prints tat i don even like." She tried to think of all the ways in whc she'd bent her life to wat myst wanted. Dodo looked down at her clothes.
"I;d dress in red bcoz u like it. U prefer wantan mee, so i eat it. U like sex, so i talk about sex with ya. Everything i do is centered on u." Dodo walked in circles as she talked.
"yang pls.Don do this to urself."
Dodo came to a halt n faced him,defiantly both hands on her hips. "wat about when we made luv? u were pretending to hav an erection huh?"
"Lower ur voice, Dodo. These walls arent very thick. Ure a desirable, sensuous woman. its juz .... "
"Myst. im mad as hell right now. i wouldnt get too close if i were u. "
Dodo's voice shook as tears slid down her face.
" i didnt choose to feel what i feel.. ive been fighting it for yrs. Dodo, u mean the world to me. If i could change n believe me i tried, i'd do it for u."
Myst closed his eyes n wiped the tears from his face with both hands.
She turned her back to him. "Now wat?" she whispered, her voice hoarse from shouting n anguish.
"I'll move over to Alvin's," he said quietly n went down the hall. mins later he came bck with 2 large suitcases.
"Moving in with him?!! i suppose so. Ha!" Dodo kept her bck to myst.
"Yang, its about him. its about really being who i am for once in my life. i gotta do it for him. Goodbye, dodo yang." Myst waited.
"Pls, i knw its a shock but cant we..."
"Leave. Just go!" Dodo hugged herself tight. She felt as though she were flying apart.
The soft thud of door closing went thru her like a bullet. She collapsed to the floor n sobbed uncontrollably.

Dodo's Story (Final)
Author: Dodo (Doreen)
===============================
Previous segment can be found here
================================
Dodo rushed out to Chris.
Dodo: Well? What did he say?
Chris: He said he didn’t have a GF.
Dodo: Oh. Bullshit!
Chris: I know.
Dodo: And?
Chris: He said to tell u when u grew up to call him. He might be around.
Dodo: What da hell is tat supposed to mean?!!!
Chris: I don’t know. U’re the one who was with him the other night. I’m juz telling u wat he said.
Dodo glared out the window wishing she hadn’t stayed in the back after all. What she needed was to give the two-timing dog piece of her mind.
(Oh to hell with that. I don’t need the stress of it. I can do just fine by myself. I’m a strong woman, with a strong mind.)
Almost a month later, Dodo was feeling a lil better. Her face had started to heal more and some of the scars had already faded. Still there was a large bruise under one eye. And better still, she hadn’t needed a man to help her. She had done it all on her own. Yup, she was feeling better than she had in a long, long time.
===============================================================
*Tut* finished up his performance and made his way thru the crowd. Since he’d come back, things just hadn’t been the same. He was even more tired than he had been before. Something he would have thought impossible had he not been experiencing it. He couldn’t concentrate much on his music. But then he knew. He missed Dodo. He missed her craziness and just everything. He laughed as he remembered each jokes that Dodo told him the other night. Now that had been fun. Tossing back his drink, he realized how much he missed her. “U don’t need this crap,” He told himself. No he didn’t. He was a big boy with a-big-boy job and and a big-boy dreams. The last thing he needed was some half-baked chick screwing up his life. But then, when had life ever been about what he needed? He was a musician living a life a dream. Nope, his life was all about what he wanted. And right then, he wanted Dodo.
Dodo woke up to a lazy Saturday. Scratching her head, she poked around the kitchen looking for food. She poured her oat into a large big bowl, then added milk and drank the mixture.
Sitting down at the table, she flipped thru the paper. Nothing but crime about. And a long, boring weekend ahead. Ugh!! She couldn’t wait. She yawned as someone knocked her door. It was the flower boy who was there to deliver the flowers for Dodo.
Dodo closed the door and headed back to the kitchen. She was just about to send them to the same place as the last four million roses that Fred had sent when something made her stop. A strange feeling prickled the back of her neck and before she could stop herself, she looked at the small card.
“I hope u get these. I’ve called u a million times n either the phone is busy or no one answers. Call me! *Tut*”
For a full min, she didn’t move. All she could do was stare at the note.
(Juz who the hell does he think he is? Anger rips thru me at the very moment. Call me?! Hah!)
Furious, she tossed the flowers in the trash and ground the card up in the garbage disposal. (Rot in hell! What an intolerable jerk!)
The phone rang. Without thinking, Dodo picked it up. “Hello?”
“Well, it’s about….”
She slammed her cell phone down as soon as she heard *Tut*’s voice.
The phone rang again. She answered it.
“Dodo?” *Tut* asked timidly.
“Bite me. Ugh!!” This time, she turned the ringer off and tossed her cell phone on the table.
Forty mins later, there was another knock on the door. Still seething, she didn’t bother to look thru the peephole. This time, she was sure it was flowers from Fred. Opening the door, she froze as she saw *Tut* standing in front of her. Oh but he looked good. He’d gotten some sun on his face and the warm breeze ran thru his dark hair. He had circles under his eyes as if he hadn’t slept much and that damn fresh scent of his blown toward her, reminding her juz how good he had felt in her arms.
Dodo let out a curse, then she slammed the door and shut. Or at least she tried to. Unfortunately, *Tut* had put his foot in the way. Furious, she leaned her weight against the door and struggled to close it with or without his foot there to block it.
“Lay off the freaking door before I break my foot,” *Tut* snarled, forcing her to open it wider. He entered her house limping.
*Tut*: U know, they make it look easy in the movies. But hell it’s NO k.”
Dodo: Get out! (She was looking around for a weapon.)
*Tut*: Look, we need to…. What happened to ur face?!!
Dodo: Get out!! (Dodo picked up one of her flowers off the table in her hall and throwing it at him)
*Tut*: Don’t! U’ll juz have to clean up the mess when I leave.
Dodo paused. But only for an instant before she threw it as well. At least cleaning up the mess would give her something to do. Before she could grab another batch of flowers, *Tut* caught her arms.
*Tut*: What’s wrong with u?
Dodo: U unbelievable bastard!!! U run off with some chicks named Jess and then juz show up here like ….
*Tut*: Jess?? Who’s Jess??
The confusion on his face was too real to be faked.
Dodo: Isn’t she ur GF?!
*Tut*: Hell no lah! The only Jess I know is my sis-in-law lah.
Dodo: Ur wat??!! Sis-in-law??? U mean u sleep with ur sis-in-law???!! Oh god, u’re even more disgusting than I thought of.
*Tut*: Oi! I don’t sleep with my sis-in-law. Juz what the hell is all this about anyway???
Dodo: When u didn’t call me on that day, I called ur office, n the receptionist I spoke to said u left town. She said u left a message for Jess to keep ur bed warm for u, u Bastard!!!
*Tut*: Hahaha… Dodo. Ms Ling our receptionist is such an idiot lar. U can’t listen to half of what she says. When I got to work on that day, I had a message from my agent. He had me booked a performance in Johor for two weeks.
Dodo: Wat??!
*Tut*: They had some other guitarist but he had to cancel at the last min. I didn’t even get a chance to pack. My agent ordered me outta door n even drove me to the airport. I tried to call u right before I boarded the plane but no one answered.
Dodo: Wat about Jess keeping ur bed warm??!!!
*Tut*: Remember I told u about Sam n his wife lived in Johor?
Vaguely Dodo recalled him mentioning it.
*Tut*: As soon as my agent told me I had to go to Johor, I called Jess n Sam to tell them I was coming. Sam was on duty and wasn’t home so I told Jess I’d be around 5. It wasn’t till we were on route to other places that I found out I wouldn’t be able to get to their house till 9 or so. I knew Jess would panic n call to look for me if I didn’t get to her house by 5 so I tried to call her back, but she’d already left for work. I then left a message for her to call my cell number. I was afraid either she would call it or u would while I was on the plane so I had the number forwarded to work. I told Ms Ling to tell Jess I would be late n to make sure I could get to the bed. They’ve got 3 kids n the guest room is usually piled to the ceiling with toys mah. Haih …I should have known Ms Ling would screw it up.
(Dodo bit her lips as she absorbed his excuse. Did she dare believe him? Is it true? Could it be really have been something so stupiak?)
*Tut*: U must have gone crazy when she told u tat huh. Gosh!
Dodo: U have no idea.
*Tut*: Ow!
Dodo: Y didn’t u call me? (She asked, still not sure if she should trust him.)
*Tut*: I tried at least 6 times a day. I never could get thru it.
Dodo: Well, I was in the hospital.
*Tut*: So I see. What happened?
Dodo: An accident.
Concern darkened his eyes as he gently traced the healing scar on her cheek.
*Tut*: Why didn’t u call to tell me?
Dodo: Coz I thought u’re with Jess lah.
*Tut*: Ugh!!! I’m gonna kill Ms Ling.
It was then Dodo knew he wasn’t lying. There was too much anger in his voice. Too much care in his eyes. He meant it. And in that moment, she felt as if she could fly. *Tut* cared! For some reason, she actually meant something to him.
*Tut*: I want u to know tat had I known about ur accident I would have hopped the next plane home. I can’t believe I wasn’t here. God, u look like u barely survived it.
Dodo: It’s alright lah.
*Tut*: Jeez man! I wish I’d known.
Dodo: Never mind lah. U’re here now. Tat’s better than not being here at all, right?
*Tut* leaned over and placed a tender kiss on her forehead. (Ow… isn’t that sweet?)
*Tut*: U had breakfast yet?”
Dodo: Not really.
*Tut*: Cmon, let me show u the great Chef Omelet. Hehe.
Dodo: I don’t need u to take care of me.
*Tut*: I know u don’t. U can definitely take care of urself. But u’re hurt and I wanna take of u.
Dodo: What about my scars?
*Tut*: I told u before, Dodo. I like u and it’ll take more than an idiot receptionist and a car accident to make me go away lah.
Dodo: Really?
*Tut*: Really lah.
And for the first time since she could remember, she let herself believe a man’s words. *Tut* led her into the kitchen where he set about making her breakfast. While she waited, Dodo sat down at her kitchen table n starting flipping thru the latest Cleo mag which Yy had given her in the hospital.
*Tut* poured her a glass of milk and brought it to the table. Feeling the hair on the back of her rise, Dodo looked up to see *Tut* staring at the ad with a frown on his “eng tao” face.
“What?!” She asked
He shook his head as he set her glass down in front of her.
Man, someone needs to give that chick a cheeseburger and make her eat it.
Dodo smiled. Yeap, it was definitely love she was feeling this morning. Here I again, she thought with a sigh. But something deep inside told her this time it might be different.

Two weeks later, Dodo sighed as she sat in by the window. Smiling happily, finally Dodo felt a lil relief that she’s finally getting back into her old routine.
“Dodo?” Yy gaped as she came thru her room door.
Before she could answer, Dodo peeked around the corner to see *Tut* coming in, removing his sunglasses.
Dodo: OMG!!
(Dodging behind the window to keep him from seeing me.)
Yy: What?” Yy asked.
Dodo: The guy who juz heading towards here… U have to go out there n tell him that I died or something ok? Hell, tell him I no longer stay here.
Yy: Ok-ok…
*Tut* stared blankly at Yy in front of him. “What do u mean she went to Aus?”
Yy juz shrugged. “She said she needed a major vaca n off for it.”
Locking his jaw, *Tut* nodded. Fine, he knew a brush-off when he heard one.
“Well, tell Miss Dodo …..”
“*Tut*?”
He looked around to see Chris coming.
Chris: What r u doing here?
*Tut*: I came to see Dodo, but this chick said she took off to Aus for a vaca.
Chris: Haha. Tat sounds like Dodo, doesn’t it?
*Tut*: And she’s avoiding me.
Chris: Do u blame her?
*Tut*: Hell, yes I blame her.
Chris: My~ that’s some ego u’ve there. U play around on her n then …
*Tut*: Play around on her?!!! Your receptionist told her u were off with ur other lover for a meeting.
*Tut*: My wat??!!!
Chris: Juz like a man to deny it. Isn’t it, Yy?
*Tut*: Look I don’t know wat u heard, but I don’t have another lover k.
Chris: Well duh. If that’s true, then u have a lot of explaining to do to Dodo.
*Tut*: Well, I’d be happy to if I could ever find her lah.
Chris: Have u tried her cell phone?
*Tut*: Yealah. I tried it thousands times d but no one answered.
Chris: Then keep trying lah.
*Tut*: U know, I’m too old to be playing these high school games. Tell Dodo when she grows up to call me. I might still be around then, but most likely not.
And with that, he headed to his car. To hell with her, he thought. He really didn’t need this shit.

Dodo's Story (Continue 4)

===============================

================================
“Dodo? U hear me?”
Dodo came awake slowly to the sound of Yy’s commanding, somewhat irritated voice. At first, she thought she had fallen asleep at her desk again. Until she tried to move n couldn’t. Panicking, she opened her eyes and met Yy’s concerned look. Her throat was so sore tat she could barely swallow. The strong smell of antiseptic stung in her nose n she heard the beeps from a monitor over her left shoulder.
Looking around, she took in the small hospital room as well as the faces of Chris n her classmates who were crowded around her bed to see her.
“Oh thank God.” Chris breathed as she took Dodo’s right hand in hers. “We’re scared to death u’re in a coma or something ler.”
In tat instant everything came rushing back. Dodo remembered the car tat had cut them off n Fred yelling as he swung over into traffic. Worst of all, she recalled the bike skidding n falling n her body tumbling thru the air, then across pavement tat seemed to tear up her skin. The last thing she remembered was coming to rest beneath the front end of a car. Of staring up at an engine n feeling the heat of it on her face as sirens rang out in the background. N then everything had gone black.
“The guy u’re with is ok,” Chris told her. “He banged up his leg, but they sent him home a lil while ago.”
“Did I break anything???” Dodo asked.
Yy shook her head. “U hav a concussion n hit ur head pretty hard on the street. The doc wants to keep u here for a few days n juz to c how u’re doin before u go home alone.”
Everyone had been assuring her tat she’s alright n it wasn’t till the next morning tat Dodo fully understood their words. It wasn’t juz her head tat had been hurt. It was her face. N the doc explained cheerfully tat he assured Dodo tat he can do a nice job though she won’t quite look the way she did before the accident.
As his words filtered thru her mind, Dodo could feel the tears rolling down from the corner of her eyes. N she couldn’t even wipe them! Something tat was hard for a gal who prided herself on being self-sufficient.
*Tut* came off from the stage feeling re-energized. He couldn’t remember the last time he had felt this good about a performance.
(They had actually liked him! No, not juz liked, they had loved him. Man, a guy could get used to this. The only thing was me. If he could juz have me there to share it, it would be even better, right? Sighs….)
By the time *Tut* made it back to his apartment, he was exhausted. Man, how did rock bands manage such tours? It was hell on the body. He threw himself on his sofa n dialed Dodo’s number. The one good thing was that he had finally learned it by heart. Again it rang n the answering machine tat she set on her cell phone picked up. “Ugh!!!” he snapped, tossing the phone away. He was an attractive guy, he didn’t need to waste his time on some chick who couldn’t be bothered to even phone him once in a while. He had more important things to do. Leaning bck, he closed his eyes n pushed Dodo completely out of his thoughts.

By noon, Dodo had stared at the phone so much, she thought she might be going blind.
Yy: Oi, wat r u doing?
Dodo: I’m waiting on a call.
Yy: From?
Dodo: *Tut*.
Yy: *Tut*? Guitar *Tut* ar?
Dodo: Ana. Abeh whoelse.
Yy: Why?
Dodo: He told me he would call me later ler.
Yy: Call u later. When?
Dodo: I don’t know lar. That’s why I’m staring at the phone lar.
Yy: Could u please elaborate?
Dodo: We spent the whole night together.
Yy: Oh gosh Dodo, u didn’t sleep with him, did u?
Dodo: Wah kao...mai siao lar. Where got so sui bian. Of coz I didn’t.
Yy: Will u nvr learn? U don’t juz go yamcha with a guy whole night then expect him to call. Really Dodo, u hav to take time n develop a relationship first ma. Didn’t ur mum ever tell u a man won’t buy a cow when he gets milk for free?
Dodo: Watever.
Yy: Then call him lar.
Dodo: Wat?
Yy: Call him. Do u know his number?
Dodo: Yeah.
Yy: Then call him lar. Aiyo.
Dodo: Will u stand here while I do it?
Yy: Why?
Dodo: I need moral support lar.
Yy: Ok. If it’ll make u feel better, I’ll stand here till u two get mushy lah.
Dodo dialed *Tut*’s work number.
Dodo: Um, yeah. Can I speak to *Tut* please?
Receptionist: I’m sorry. He’s not in.
Dodo: Oh? When will he be back?
Receptionist: I don’t know. He juz took off this morning n didn’t say anything. Oh wait, yeap he did. He left me a msg to tell Jess that he’d be late for dinner tonite so keep it warm n be ready for him. R u Jess?
(The moment I heard tat name I was like WAT??!! I couldn’t answer the woman on the phone.)
Receptionist: Miss? R u Jess?
(Numbly, I hung up the phone.)
“Dodo?” Yy asked. “U ok bor?”
Dodo couldn’t speak. It was all she could do to juz sit there n not scream. Who the hell was Jess anyway??!!! His gf???!! This was real n *Tut* had been two-timing them both. (I ain’t know if this is the right term of saying it. Instead of wat ….one leg steps two boats huh?? Duh. Whatever it is…juz skip that part yah.)
Tears gathered in her eyes n Dodo struggled to hold them back. *Tut* had toyed her feelings, lied to her and left without a word. Damn him!! Damn his sorry, rotten egg!!
(Jeez man! Yy was right. I’m a cow. A big, dumb, stupiak cow!)
She had to get outta here. Outta room right now! She needed time to think. Time to …. Oh, she didn’t know wat she needed other than a break. She snatched up her bag and headed out.
“Dodo!” Yy called out.
Still she didn’t stop. She didn’t wanna talk right now. She juz wanna be left alone to sort thru her conflicting emotions. Dodo headed to her “Green Beetle” n decided the mall was juz wat she needed.
For an hour and a half, she went to stores, charging like a bull. Yeah, she’d hav a time paying for it, but right now she juz wanted to pamper herself. Dammit, she saved hard for her money n it’s hers to spend.
By the time she got bck to the home 3 hours later, she felt a lil better. But *tut* was still a babi! A big, hairy, nasty, three-toed, tree babi!
Yy: Hey Do. U okay?
Dodo: Fine.
Yy: Did u do something to ur hair at lunch ar?
Dodo: I got it cut. Bob haircut. Wat’d u think?
Yy: It’s cute.
Dodo: But it makes my face stand out right? I thought so too. So I made an appointment with Dr. Lim.
(I asked as I began clicking for my email.)
Yy: That crazy fella who advertises his plastic surgery clinic on tv??
Dodo: Same lar. They’re havin a special two-one thing. I figured I could get my eyes fixed n hav him suck some fat outta my ass.
Yy: Dodo! Don’t be stu lar.
Dodo was tired of being Dodo. She wanted to be someone else for a while. Maybe if she changed her hair, her style, n got new face, she’d feel better. Anything would be an improvement at this point. N at any rate, she couldn’t feel any worse about herself than she felt at this moment. An eye job could only be a step up.
As her housemate’s annoyance broke out on her behalf, Dodo felt overwhelmed by her loyalty n luv, n before she knew it, she’s crying!!! Yy hugged her as she sobbed out the pain inside her. Yy handed her a tissue.

Dodo's Story (Continue 2)

The moment felt surreal. She’d been secretly obsessed on *Tut* for months, since the 1st night she saw him play at the Club. She’d made her way back to the club several times since then, juz to steal a look at this hot hunk, his hands, his face haunting all of her daydreams n most of her nightmares. (Jeez man~ u might think that I’m damn kisiao about this hunk huh. Yes I do. Hehe…) She’d been sure all this while tat he didn’t even know she existed n now here they were, all alone, face-to-face in the darkness. Damn! If she hadn’t spent so much time daydreaming she’d have had an opening trick planned for this moment d lar …Aiks! What a dum-dum Dodo heh! Ish!
‘Erm… would u like to join me for yamcha?” she asked, her voice sounding husky n strange to her. (Yeah I know its kinda lame tactic tat I’ve used on this hunk by asking him for yamcha heh. Hehe …)
“Depends. Do u ask every guy who walks u like this?”
“Me?? Erm…Duh! I don’t know,” she answered honestly. “I’ve never had a guy walk me like this.”
“Heh… something tells me u’re not telling me the whole truth about tat heh.”
Raising up her right eyebrow at him. “Huh…. Are u insulting me?”
“Nope. Not a chance. I’m juz trying to read u. Hehe….”
“Do u read every gal u walk?”
“Haha …I don’t know. I’ve never walked a gal like this.” He laughed.
“Haha …now ccc who’s talking in circles heh!” She laughed back, pulling her keys out n turning the key n opened the car door.
“Look. U’re welcome to join me if u want to. But don’t take too long to think about it k.” she hopped into her “Green Beetle” n winked at him before closing her car door. Hehe… (Wat a buaya this Dodo is…flirting flirting flirting…yaya I know that. Hehe)
“Y is there some time limit here huh?”
“No lar. But I do have air-conditioning n it’s all being sucked out the car here as we stand here discussing whether u’re joining for the yamcha or not mah. So?” she turned to start the engine, pretending not to care whether he answered. (Hehe… damn berlagak right… hehe… anyway the stories I’ve written all these while were about how I fantasized it k.)
“Air-conditioning??!! Haha … y didn’t u say tat to begin with! No man in his right mind would turn down an invitation tat involved air-conditioning on a hot night like this.” He fairly hopped in her “Green Beetle”.
“Watever turns u on,” she joked with a shrug as she closed her car door n shifted into third gear. And drove around to the next yamcha spot.
(Hehe … deep in me. I was actually damn happy about it. If I’m not mistaken I still recall that I eventually bit my lip to keep from smiling as *Tut* hopped into my car. It’d been a long, long time since I’d felt so excited n nervous over the presence of a guy. Then some more, I couldn’t remember the last time I’d been quite so keen for a guy as I was for this one. Hehe …)

Dodo's Story (Continue 1)

Ahhh...She’d never before been this close to him. So close that she could actually feel the heat of his body. Uh lala ~ Smell that faint scent of soap on his skin. She stared longingly.
Whispered to herself... “Damn! Wat am I thinking?!”
“Damn?? Haha...Now there’s a word I haven’t heard in a while.” He repeated.
“Hang around me, dude. And you’re bound to hear lotsa words noone else uses. Hehe ..” (Hey guys, am I right? I do speak such words that noone else uses huh?? Hehe )
One corner of his mouth drew back in amusement. “Is that an invitation??”
For the 1st time in forever, Dodo actually felt heat creep up her cheeks. Nervous, hot and worried, she couldn’t think of anything else to say. Jeez man … this is so damn paiseh.
(Cmon, Dodo, where r ur clever retorts? Probably hiding in the same place where my common sense lives most of the time.)
She tried to think of something to say. But for her life, nothing came to mind. Nothing. Nothing except images of how good *Tut* would look with that sleek hair wet and his lean hips wrapped in a damp, clinging towel.
“I guess I should be goin lar.” She said, edging away from him. Coward!!!!
“U’re here alone ar?” he asked before she could make good escape.
“Yeah,”
“How far’s ur car?”
“It’s at my place down the street. I’ll walk over.”
He gave her that doubtful look that everyone she knew gave her sooner or later – as if he couldn’t believe what she’d juz said. He offered to walk her to her car but still she convinced him that she would walk there on her own. She pointed out the club’s window to the sidewalk fairly packed with people. No place was busier than here on night like this. She couldn’t be alone on the street if she wanted to. He glanced at a guy a few feet away who was signaling toward the guitar. *Tut* nodded, then looked back at her.
“Maybe so. Still. Tell u wat. I’ve one more song to play and then I’m done for the night. How about u wait here n when I’m done, I’ll walk u home? Okay??” Giving Dodo that innocent look somemore heh ..
Oh my my …like she was going to say no? omg omg omg!!!
As *Tut* worked his way thru a few tunes, Dodo couldn’t take her eyes off of his slender, muscular hands. They flew over the strings as if he and the guitar were one. She’d never been one to think of a guitarist as hot- in mind they were all Richie Kotzen types.
“U know, I love the night,” *Tut* said, finally breaking the silence.
“In a vampire kinda way ar?” Dodo immediately wished she’d given a thought before she’d spoken. How could she let that silly vampire idea she’d had of him earlier that day juz fall outta her mouth like that? Yikes!! Stupiak!!! But still he laughed at her.
Even though he seemed amused, she felt “stu” still.
“I do know wat u mean, thou. Even as a kid I used to see how late I could stay up.”
“We had this huge…..” she demonstrated with her hands to show how huge and ended up PIAK!!! whacking *Tut* in the hard pecs again with her hand. He didn’t seem to notice. If she didn’t knock it off he was goin to think that she had some freaky thing for his chest, which of coz she did but but but …. She balled her fist up and dropped her arms to her sides. Aiks ..si beh paiseh neh.
They continued the conversation and blah blah blah …. N they actually had a good laugh.
Dodo bit her lip as they paused in front of the steps leading to the front of her “Green Beetle”.
“Thanks for walking me.”
And and and ….u know wat ..it’s kinda sweet that ..*Tut* eventually leaned forward and whispered in her ear “My pleasure.” Awwwwwww …that’s sweet, ain’t it??
His warm breath tickled her neck and the scent of him made her stomach jump. He smelled good enough to eat. Yummy!! =9 hehe ..
“I guess I’d better get goin.” He said. N n n …. The continuous part …erm..we shall c it later yah.. hehe …

Dodo's Story (Updated)
Author: Dodo (Doreen)
=================
How’d that song go again? Dodo stopped humming to look thru her brain. Something about turning, turn, turn. Oh yeah! A time to work on assignments, a time to play. She sighed. On this particular Monday afternoon as she sat in her room, Dodo was definitely in the mood to play.
Dodo’s gaze slid longingly to the corner of her computer screen where the time glared mockingly at her. Four o’clock. Would this day ever end? She drummed her neatly manicured nails on her desk as she flipped thru the pages of Cleo. How on earth was she gonna make it to the end of the day? All morning after she’d stumbled in nearly an hour late for uni – again she hadn’t exactly been paying attention in class. The day was a complete wash. She was stuck for the day with no way out. Damn! Leaning her cheek against her fist, Dodo glanced up as Yy walked by, holding a super-sized coffee mug.
“U know wat I want, Yy?” Dodo asked. Yy paused with her left eye brow raised up in that not-another-one-of-ur-crazy-notions-Yy look. “I can’t imagine.” Dodo turned the copy of Cleo she’d been reading to face Yy and pointed to the model wearing a slip dress that showed her thin, angular frame off to perfection. “I want to meet the man who can look at this ad and think wat I think.”
Y looked at the ad. “And that is?”
“Someone throw that woman a cheeseburger and make her eat it before she dies of starvation.” Hahaha …. Dodo laughed.
Alright then. Dodo turned in her chair to face the computer monitor. Assignment, Dodo, assignment.
Sigh. Who could work on assignment on such a sunny day? Dodo’s attention drifted to the windows where the bright sun tempted her. And Dodo has never been one to deny temptation. At least not for long anyway. It was one of those lazy hot afternoons in Sg Long where she’d like nothing better than to peel off her clothes and pull on a pair of cutoffs and a tank top and walk in flip-flops. Closing her eyes, she could picture herself sitting down the grass, eating one of the mouthwatering hotdogs from the 1901. And if she really wanted to make it perfect, that particular *tut* would be there as well. Hehe… A smile curved her lips as she imagined him laid next to her on the grass drinking Coke and munching a dog.
“Don’t I wish,” Dodo breathed, enjoying the thought.
*tut* was a mystery. His dark good looks were not obvious in a movie-star kind of way. Sure, he was good-looking enough that u’d notice him across a room. He wore his straight black hair almost to his shoulders in a careless style that owes looked as if he’d juz brushed his long, lean fingers thru it. And his “chun” features were almost more than Dodo could take. Dodo sighed as she wondered wat he did during the daylight hours. In her mind, she pictured him like some seductive vampire who camped out during the day waiting for night to fall. Then, he would come alive and work his sexy spell on her. Wahahaha… (Damn Gatal this Dodo huh??) How she wished for the courage to walk up to him once night where he played guitar, and seize his lips in a hot, passionate kiss. Woo hoo…Dodo bit her lips as she enjoyed the dream. If only she had the guts. (Yeah Japjap aka Calvin’. I know u would say I am “buaya” if u’re reading this.) But for some reason when it came to *tut*, Dodo was as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
Normally, she had no prob at all walking up to a guy and getting right to the bottom of him. Not so with this *tut*. He was different. Very different. For all in a sudden… “You still here?” breaking Dodo out of her daze. “What?!” Dodo asked as she shook off her daydream and focused on Y’s face. Dodo rolled her eyes. “Go on and get outta here.” Aiks.. spoiler lar. Dodo was damn syok about it and there this Yy interrupted in pulak. Sighs.
Mostly Chris couldn’t stand the thought of her fren wasting her charms, as she put it, on a fellow who clearly was more muscles than brains. As back as she could remember, she nicknamed her boyfriends. So far there had been Duh-man, Fool, Sprinter, Boor and blablabla… The six-foot tall, macho dude in the club had juz been another in a long line of guys who were fun to hang with, but weren’t the type of guy a babe settled down with unless she’d juz plain run out of options.
And Dodo wasn’t even close to running out of options. She knew what she wanted when it came to hot hunks. Hehe … A nice, ever-so-slightly-dangerous-in-a-good-way hot hunk who could make her feel what she’d never felt before – unconditionally loved. Dodo was plenty smart enough to know that what she sought in a guy was what she’d owes wanted for. Her family had never had a minute to spare for her like they used to be as time went by, thing’s changed. Sighs… Sisters were so caught up running own careers they barely noticed they had a sister. Mum and Dad had owes been the busy social queen and king. Her family wasn’t necessarily bad people, they just weren’t close to each other or to her coz thing’s changed as time went by and she found lil’ comfort in their relationship. (Just feel that thing’s changed once u’re grown up)
The gals in Uni were good frens, but they owes tsk-tsking her behavior, and what Dodo needed was someone who could love her just for being her. Someone who could appreciate – no, cherish – unique view of the world.
It was the only thing in life she had ever wanted. And it seemed to be the thing she might spend a lifetime looking for.
Shifting down into third gear, Dodo drove around and changed her destination. Forget about goin bck to her place, she needed to cut loose tonite and the sooner she picked up Chris, the sooner she could set herself free.
Slamming the car door, Dodo caught sight of herself in the window. It didn’t help that the streetlights behind her reflected poorly against the bright colors of her summery dress. Jeez, she thought, I look like a troll. (Damn hate my body and everything. I am short n fat!!! N n n … my eyes!!!)
Lifting herself up on her tiptoes, she sucked her stomach in. No no .. It didn’t help. Ish ish ish … She was short and curvy, a lil’ handful of a babe, with a chic, messy mop of dark-brown-black hair and hazel small eyes with just the barest hint of color to them. She didn’t usually have trouble hooking up with an interesting prospect when they out together, but sometimes, compared to Chris’s statuesque beauty, Dodo felt like the B-Team. Sighs … so sad.
She looked at her eyes … like her mum had. How many times had her mum mourned on the fact that poor Dodo had been cursed with Grandma’s genes heh? Maybe eye job would help?? Dodo made fun of at her reflection as she tried to make her eyes look bigger. On second thought, maybe I should arrange for a full head transplant. Ahhh heck! What was she worried about anyway? She was cute. Granted she didn’t get as many guys as Chris, but she had more than her share. And there was nothing wrong with her eyes.
She grabbed her small purse and started for her front door. Dodo had only taken a step when she decided she didn’t wanna go in right away. No, not when she felt like this. Alone. Tired. Discouraged. For a gal of twenty-two, she felt ancient. If only she knew what she wanted to do with her life, perhaps that would help. All of her frens had owes known what they wanted, and they had headed straight for it. But not Dodo.
She wanted her life to mean something, but she was completely clueless as to what something was. And she so easily distracted by her own amusements, it was hard for her to concentrate on figuring out what her life should mean.
Stop it, Dodo, and I mean now!! No more pity-party!! What is wrong with u??!!
Pivoting on her feet, she headed back toward the street. There were things to see and hot hunks to do, and right now she was gonna head off toward the Club and see if *Tut* was playing tonite.
Life was too short to be miserable and alone and she was finally in the mood to corner *Tut* once and for all.
It was only a short stroll to the club, but the place was completely packed. Fact is that *Tut* wasn’t even playing.
“Just perfect,” Dodo mumbled. “A perfect end to a perfect day.”
Depressed and ready to giv up on the nite, she turned to leave and walked straight into a wall of hard muscle. Dodo opened her mouth to apologise as she looked up the tall, lean body and into the electric big eyes she’d been longing for.
“Hi,” *Tut* said, cracking that half smile that made her legs weak.
Dodo realized her hands were pressed against wonderfully hard pecs. She wondered for a second how long would be too long to linger like this. Reluctantly, she pulled her hand away and returned his smile. “Hi,” she repeated, too frightened by the feel of him juz millimeters away to come up with anything more brilliant to say.

i wonder how she did tat
n dats pretty cool thouh

so for both good ..we ditched her
hehe
First, let me ask u guys, how, u might wonder, r u gonna believe in urself when u’re juz starting out? Can’t u only really believe in urself when u feel, see n hear urself achieving what u want to achieve? U’ve got a point! There’s a simple answer. Actors have known for years if u haven’t achieved it yet, u can fake it! Just as actors can fool an audience, u can fool ur subconscious.
Researchers have found out that while our subconscious mind is sooooo powerful in so many ways it can easily be fooled. U’ve probably heard stories about Australian Aborigines ‘pointing the bone’ at someone. The victim dies, even though they might have previously been in perfect health. Why? Coz the person believed they would die. Another great example is that of Mahatma Ghandi, who sincerely believed that India was for the Indians. For a long time, people thought that it was quite impossible to free the colonial superpower, England. Ghandi proved them wrong. It took a long time and Ghandi faced many difficulties, but in the end he’s able to bring it about. Oh yaya ..what am I crapping about here ..U would never understand right. Don’t worry. Keep on reading and u will understand soon.
It’s like a magic. If u show ur subconscious mind what it is u after in ur life, ur subconscious mind will work for u to bring it about. When u apply ur subconscious mind, ur conscious mind and all ur abilities to the task u become much more powerful. Trust me. It works at times!
I personally witnessed the power of the subconscious mind a few years ago when I went to a motivational seminar. I knew that one of the features of the program was a 4 metre fire walk. I repeat myself … it’s 4 METRE FIRE WALK. Jeez man! This is nuts. Went for motivational seminar and that was what they were trying get u motivated?? Well duh. U’ll see. A couple of strong childhood memories made me rather nervous: as a 10 year old, I stood on a stool drying my hair when I overbalanced and almost rolled my head first into fire. U can understand why I was keen not on doing the fire walk. I didn’t think I could walk on red hot coals – I didn’t want to walk on the red hot coals! It was like “Siao ar man … Want me to walk on those red hot thingy...It would be a big No to me.” However, during the seminar it was pointed out that fire walk was really a metaphor about taking out fears and beliefs and by overcoming them, using them to empower us rather than to limit us. By the end of the evening, I believed I could. (Yeah, I believe I could and I actually did it. But it was not the total 4 metre that I was supposed to go through. Don’t ask me why. Well at least I did it, right?) Man, U gotta salute me for that, that I actually just did it. Oh God, how did I do that huh?
I knew I would be able to do it, I could see myself doing it, I could hear myself being congratulated when I’d done it.
So I did the fire walk. It was an incredible experience. I knew then that there as even more that I could achieve in my life. Other people there amazed me just as much as the changes in myself: the young man of 18 who walked with crutches because one leg was at least 20cm shorter than the other, the woman in her 70s who was bent over and walked with the aid of a walking stick. Both of these (and just about all of the other 500 people) walked across the bed of coals. I couldn’t help but wonder what else did they believe was possible about their lives now? We’re all able to do the fire walk coz we believed we could, we’re in the right state of mind and we were given the skills. But hey hey, I ain’t exaggerating about this. This is true! And it’s a sad thing to say that I didn’t take any snaps during the event as we were not allowed to bring in any cameras. Don’t ask me why again huh. I don’t know. I just followed what I was supposed to do. And yeah, I ain’t exaggerating about the “Ah Po” who went through the red hot coals. She just made it. It was like wow … that’s cool man! Ah po ler…she just did it. I ain’t know how she did that.
Remember, fire walks are a metaphor that worked for me. U don’t have to do one to achieve the benefits of what I mentioned a moment ago. In fact I would advise u not to do a fire walk unless u can be sure it has been set up by a competent person and is absolutely safe. SET UP BY A COMPETENT PERSON YAH…MAKE SURE IT’S SAFE. The challenge actually is not so much the fire walk but ur belief system. So, u guys had better not go nuts for the fire walk thingy coz Dodo said so that everyone can make it huh. Don’t blame me for that when u suffer any injuries yah. Haha… I am not responsible for that.
Suppose u believe u could never be wealthy and yet when u look around at the people who are wealthy, u see that they are no brighter or more capable than u. At this point, u might have an unanswered prob. U could choose to wallow in self-pity, to believe that the rich must have been dishonest to accumulate so much wealth. Or u could decide to believe that if u began to do the same things that the wealthy have done, then u too could begin to be wealthy. So, which set of beliefs are most likely to increase ur fullness of life?
Note: no offense yah. I didn’t mean it when I said the rich must have been dishonest ….blah blah blah… it’s just my point of view of the rich.
