The great Irene

Friday, April 20, 2007

A typically normal morning...
In hougang
In a four room flat bedroom
Its 7.15am

Our lead character, irene ang the great aka shamarthini is standing in front of her cd player
Staring at an empty cd cover with such serious expression and intense concentration

Something bad happened?
You could say so because the most unthinkable tragic has occurred!
Her life has been turned upside down in mere seconds!

Staring at the empty cd cover, for the first time, irene finally understand how cruel life could be
Why must this happened, she screamed in her head.
This is not real, i must be dreaming
Yet the cruelty of all lies in front of her
She has, unknowingly for one whole day, misplace her orange range CD!
Not just any cd but orange range!
Her favourite orange range cd which she has to listen to every morning or else she will lose the purpose of living!
Yet now...yet now it was lost......lost!!!!!

And the most horrible of all is that she could not remember where did she lost it!

So she searched high and low...
In the drawer, in her bag, under the bed, on top of the bed
All in vain
Couldn't find still couldn't find

Therefore her morning was destroy before it even started!!
The end of the world!!!!

On the bus when she was listening to her shaman king soundtrack, she kept thinking of orange range
On the mrt when reading waqwaq comic, she still kept thinking of orange range
On the way to buy her breakfast, she was almost ready to cry as she couldn't forget orange range

In the mist of all these agony, irene felt another foreign chill seeping up her spine.
Suddenly she is afraid to go to the stall that she bought her breakfast every morning.

What is this? She think.
Its only a stall, why should i be afraid of the stall then?
She couldn't understand.
Even though she don't want to, her legs seem to move on its own and irene find herself walking to the stall

And come face to face with lots of baos
Previously the sight of all the baos will bring her such joy
But today she was filled with nothing but dread!

Why is it that today it is so hard to make a decision on which baos to buy.
This shouldn't be the case.
Just tell the aunty, irene think

It won't be that easy
A voice whisper
Chosen one
You
Chosen one

Hey who is speaking
Irene look left and right but nobody seem to be talking to her
Yet she did heard it

A voice whispering cloak and dagger predicting doom

Chosen one

There it is again
But before irene could speak out
She felt the surrounding darken

Suddenly there is an explosion follow by a blinding white light that engulf everything.

Irene opened her eyes, Heard a voice blooming
"choose"

Upon those word, she felt a warming sensation coming from her left palm
A white object appear
The same thing happened to her right palm
Staring at the two objects in her hands irene was lost.

"listen carefully", the voice said, " you are the chosen one. In your left hand is a chicken bao and in your right hand is a char sao bao. Whichever bao you choose will decide the fate of the earth and all living creatures existing within"

What? Irene become even more confused.
What it means by i am the chosen one? She question.
A bao will decide the fate of earth? Come on this is ridiculous.

"i know what you think. You must think that what power a bao can have to be able to decide the fate of earth. You must not take this lightly irene. If you chose a chicken bao, then char sao bao will become extinct and sixty five million years later, all you can see of a char sao bao is in a movie called "char sao bao park" produced by stephen Spielberg. The same will happen to chicken bao should you choose char sao bao. Remember that you carry the responsibility of all the baos on your shoulder. Please take this seriously and make the right decision. Do you want your fellow human beings to eat chicken bao or char sao bao for the rest of eternity."

Oh dear what should i do? Irene panic. Whatever decision i make, one of the bao will extinct. Why must i be the chosen one? Why must this kind of thing happened to me? Why couldn't i be the chosen one to win toto or 4D!
Oh how irene wanted to cry for she is felt lonely as there is no one to help her.

"you must decide soon irene. If you did not reach a decision in the next 24 hour, both baos will disappear and become extinct."

A deadline some more! Irene yelled.
But ... But... What should i do to make sure that i make the right decision? She asked.
Is there any hint a not, she beg.

"take the north east line", the voice instruct, "there you will meet "the 3" who will help you.
Hurry irene, god bless and may the power of the baos be with you"

With that, the light disappear and the surrounding return to normal.
Irene found herself in the toilet staring at the toilet bowl.

Phew, she was relieve. I must be dreaming, she think.
But wait, how come she is in the toilet. She should be on her way to work.
Looking into the mirror, her eyes widen till it almost pop out.
Through the mirror, she saw the reflection of the chicken bao and the char sao bao in her hands.
But when she look down, her hands are empty, she is holding nothing.
Yet when she look up into the mirror again, there it is. The two baos.
Irene could feel the power of the baos seeping into her hands.
I am not dreaming, She mumble…I am the chosen one, she whisper
Responsibility of the baos is on my shoulder
Previously she might be in shock and unable to comprehend the seriousness of the situation,
but now the reality of all start to sink in did she realize that she is in trouble! Irene become so scare

Wait, she calm herself, the voice did give her a hint. Take the north east line (why north east line she think. The fare so expensive.
Don’t know can claim a not) and she will meet "the 3".
Oh they must be the wise men, oooh perhaps they are wise super handsome young gorgeous boy boy.
The image of her surrounded by all those handsome young boys finally cheer her up.
Well, no time to waste, let buckle up and save the baos she decided.

With that irene pluck up her courage, take the first step out of the toilet and therefore embarked upon the journey to "save the baos!!!!!!"

PS.... If you find this very super extremely boliao, then you are right. Irene ang the great is doomed by the fact that she has surpassed her capability of being that boliao irene to become the very super extremely boliao irene. Some one call woodbridge!!!!

PS of PS...hmmmm thought this should be about the missing orange range but...why it become baos??
