birthday card

well, last year, for christmas, vincent the physio requested i draw him a birthday instead of printing him out one. dunno why he requested that, but no biggie, i drew him one:
first, i drew myself praying @ night, saying, "dear god, please will you smite vincent the bloody physio down with lightning so he can't come and torture me anymore?"
after that, i drew mother scolding me, "that's not very nice, em, draw sth less rude.'
so i drew me again praying @ night, saying, "dear god, can you please let vincent the bloody physio win several hundreds of million dollars so him and his wife will bugger off overseas forever and stop torturing me?"
but then i drew afriend saying to me over MSN, "em, you realise that the chances of you ever winning gold lotto are even less than the improbable chance of you ever been struck down by lightning?
back to the drawing board. i'm praying again, saying this time, "god, change of plans. kindly seriously FRY him with lightning!
over the page. kat and vincent are out dating ... love is in the air, love hearts floating around the besotted couple, when suddenly ...
CRACK!!! vincent gets FRIED by a lightning!
next scene's kat jie jie on the phone, dialing triple zero. "i need an ambulance, quick!" she cries! "my husband's just been fried by lightning!"
and the end scene: i've drawn vincent looking like a corpse on his hospital bed :P then i draw me, with a bunch of flowers. "hope you get well soon, vincent," i tell him, "look, i even brought you some flowers."
when i showed my artwork to mother, she said i was evil, but when i gave it to vincent, he laughed his head off.
fast forward almost three months. it's my birthday on sunday! "vincent, i tell him, "it's my birthday on sunday. this time, it's your turn. will you please draw me a birthday card? come on, it's your chance to get revenge on me. you can fry me with lightning too, or you can get me run over by a car, or you can shoot me dead. revenge's yours for the taking." he laughs. "alright," he promises, "i'll see what i can come up with."
the days pass by. last night, i go to bed wondering, "what will he draw for me?"
i planned to ask him for the card when i left upon the completion of my torture session with him, but nope, he hands me the card the moment i step into the treatment room.
on the first half, there's just one person, with a lightning bolt spearing down, about to fry me.
but on the second half, a second person, crying "NOOOO"HAS GOTTEN STRUCK BY THE LIGHTNING. sorry, shrieking! ><
i laugh, and point to the picture. "so that's me, and i get fried by lightning while you're just standing there smiling?"
"of course not, he replies, mock offended. "that's you, about to get fried by the lightning, and that's me, pushing you outta harm's way and getting fried by the lightning instead."
wow. i'm feeling loved here!
inside the card, he's written, "wish you have a huge huge progress this year Em, otherwise your cruel physio has to torture you some more."
the inner right half, he says, was written by kat jie jie:" dear emily happy birthday!!! kat and vincent"
well, he gets points for drawing me such a nice card, but loses some for not signing the card himself. :P
anyways, his and kat jie jie's birthday isn't till september 29th; hopefully by then he'll have given up the desire of having hand-drawn cards and i can go back to printing him one! :P
next post here ... didn't aunty vicky say that we'd have lunch with aunty tiffany tomorrow? if so, new post toms!
until then~
cheers,
em. ^^
