The Tale of Ramos, The Male Maid

Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslim readers and friends!

Visited my twinnie's house today for Raya and before long, was introduced to Ramos (not his real name), her male maid.

This is Ramos, my male maid.


There are three weird things about this maid. Firstly, Ramos only makes his appearance once a year at Hari Raya at twinnie's house. And he only receives instructions from a fellow Raya guest, J.

Secondly, he only serves coffee and cakes. And he's not very good at that. It's probably due to the lack of practice - since he only gets to do it once a year.

Aiks, how come looking away while serving one??

Aaaah, much better!


The third weird thing about this male maid is that he likes to wear the Pomelo T-shirt on special occasions. Who would have thought a docile maid like him would dare to don something remotely related to gasp Communism???

Jokes aside, we had a blast feasting, laughing and snapping pics at twinnie's open house. The brewed coffee was wonderful - not bitter (thus requiring very little sugar), smooth, strong and has a nice buttery taste to it. Kopi Che Nah's the name of the game. However, I still prefer my instant coffee Chek Hup - no fuss and no muss in preparation. And certainly, no need for a maid to serve it to me on bended knees :-P :P

Note: No one featured here, not the author, twinnie nor Ramos supports Communism. We support the local arts scene and the right to screen a 'semi-musical documentary road movie about the life and legacy of the former leader of the banned Communist Party of Malaya, who now lives in exile in Thailand' (Source). It's a shame that the movie has been deemed controversial and thus banned in Malaysia.

*LOL! Yes, Ramos needs practice at serving coffee and chocolate cakes. But once a year helps, especially with J to whip him into shape! :-P Aaaaahhh, yes ... even though I do not support the commie ideology, I am a commie at heart. Thanks twinnie, PauLOS and Rapunzel for coming and contributing to the festivities. :-D

*Sorry, sorry ... meant to be read as, "Even though I do not support the commie ideology, I am a SOCIALIST at heart!". Aiks. But ah, I do think that Mein Kampf is an affective piece of work.

*Dear ms cat, i'm writing in the capacity of a poverty-stricken-pro-bono-persecution-lawyer-with-big-heart-literally, representing my semi-underprivileged client, mr ramos rendezvous, to inform your good self that we would pursue a lawsuit to seek compensation for the loss incurred by my client due to the malicious & the unauthorised publication of my client's gorgeous photos online. we'll be in touch officially to formalise the lawsuit, but suffice to say that we would recommend that your goodself employ a representation immediately to avoid inefficiency in getting matters sorted out in this God-forsaken-3rd-world-country-with-a-God-knows-for-what-twin-tower. we assure you that we would be vicious & frickin' greedy when it comes to a settlement should you be thinking of one. we urge you to sleep less & spend time contemplating your fate, post-trial i.e. having your photos maliciously posted on martha’s stewart’s under-construction r-rated website & having your face being used as a meal-mat on martha’s floral-carved-coffee-table. we pray that you'll receive grace to endure the unimaginable consequences fit only for 3rd world’s filthy-rich-spoiled-brats.

yours viciously,
Samuel Peckinpah the 3rd

*Twinnie!!!! Errrmmm ... if you're being "persecuted" (as Mr Peckinpah puts it), remember that I was trained as a lawyer. I can take down Messrs Peckinpah III (and I, II, IV et cl) with no problems. Wait till I start PROSECUTING in french! If all else fails, my loyar burukness shall prevail.

*Twinnie, let's sue his pants off. You're hired :-D

*Twinnie, note - Mr. Peckinpah is suing on you for publishing his "client's gorgeous photos", and not his gorgeous client's photos (biiiiiggggg difference there!). Technically, the photos are gorgeous because YOU, the photographer, took them and thus holds the right to publish them on your site kan? Heh-heh. Sure can win this case waaaan. Easy peasy! :-P
