NEW FANFIC!!! The End is Near

Howdy folks,

On the last update, I announced that there will be a new fanfic. I originally wanted to post the fanfic back in January so that I could have one chapter posted every month until December...however, I was overwhelmed with school work (since I'm in my fourth year of university) and the plan fell through. This fanfic, even though the end sounds somewhat depressing, is actually a comedy. I hope you enjoy the first Chapter

Chapter 1: ‘I’m going to die with no grandchildren’

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled...and continued to slowly inhale, then exhale. In his focused state of mind, he could hear everything that went on in the room...but, he did not want to pay any attention to it. He finally opened his eyes and turned to face her, and smiled at her anxious face.

Woman: So...what did you see?

Man: I saw...

Woman: What?

Man: Nothing...absolutely NOTHING!!! Mom, how many times do I need to remind you that I’m not a psychic...?

Mom: But last time when my friends were over you knew exactly what they were going to say

Man: Mom...it was obvious that you were setting something up...having all your friends over and having them bring along their niece or daughter...

Mom: Fine...

Man: I know you want me to get married soon...but I’m still young and there’s a lot more in life than just getting married and having kids...

Mom: Oh...do you hear that honey, do you hear our son. After you left this world he doesn’t care about his own mother...I don’t have that many more years in life and look at him...he wants me to WAIT for him because he thinks there’s more to life than getting married and having kids...do you HEAR that honey?!?

Man: Mom...you’re overreacting...

Mom: I’m overreacting? Ron Ng, how dare you speak to your own mother like this...and in the presence of your own father too...?

Ron: Ok, ok...I’m sorry...I’ll go on one of the blind dates you’ve planned for me then...ok? (He smiled)

Mom smiling back: That’s my boy (she ruffles his hair)...unless

Ron: Unless?

Mom: It’s been forever since you’ve brought a girlfriend before, and I’ve never seen you watch porn...

Ron: Mom!

Mom: And...you’re always so close with your ‘buddies...’ son, be honest...I’m an open minded person you know...are you gay?

Ron: seriously? You’re asking if I’m gay

Mom: So you are...now it all makes sense...but why?

Ron: Mom...I’m not gay

Mom: Considering you’re in the business where you’re literally surrounded by women all the time, and most of them are beautiful women...it only makes sense that I start questioning your sexuality

Ron: What if I have...you know...one night stands? Obviously I wouldn’t bring anyone of them home...

Mom: Uh huh...one night stands...where? You do realize even though you’re in your thirties...that I DO YOUR LAUNDRY...where are the receipts? And don’t you even start by saying you go to their place...because as your mother I know how you are...you can’t even stand a bit of filth...hotel rooms is already a stretch

Ron: Mom...do you really want me to bring home a girlfriend who’s some sort of movie star?

Mom: I wouldn’t mind...

Ron: Do you NOT watch the films I produce?

Mom: Don’t be silly, I watch all of them...but you can’t say all actresses are vein and just beautiful on the outside...that can’t apply to every single one of them...I think you’re being too judgemental

Ron: Well...it would be hard though, wouldn’t it? I wouldn’t be able to tell whether she’s true to me or she’s actually a great actress...

Mom: Son...you really have to learn to trust. And besides, it would be a win-win situation

Ron: How so?

Mom: Well...think about it...if she really does like you, then you have a girlfriend...if she’s just acting...then, you just found yourself an amazing lead actress for your next movie...I don’t see any down side really

Ron laughed: Mary Hon, you are a genius! But seriously mom...you know what I mean

Mary: Alright...I guess it’s up to me then...who would’ve thought that the responsibility of finding a daughter-in-law would be mine after I produced such a wonderfully handsome child...(she heaved a sigh)

Ron: Well...I’m going to get going, I have a quick staff meeting to attend to

Mary: Just go...just leave this old woman all by herself...

Ron smiled, bent over and kissed his mom on the cheek

Ron: One day, you’ll wish that you could have some alone time...when all your grandchildren are crying and wanting all of your attention

Mary: Oh, don’t you worry...at this rate, I would’ve had too much alone time

Ron laughed: Ok, ok...bye mom...

Mary: Bye

Suddenly he turned back

Mary: What is it?

Ron: It’s not true that I haven’t brought home a girlfriend in forever...I brought Kate home like two years ago

Mary: Please don’t tell me you’re waiting for her to come back...I know she’s a nice girl and everything Ron, but really...maybe she’s already found someone by now...

Ron: I’m not waiting for her...I just thought I’d bring up the point that I have brought home a girlfriend before and quite recently too... (he looked at the time) now I really have to get going, bye

~After he left~

Mary: He thinks two years isn’t a long time...what a silly boy

~Studio ~

Bosco: Hey...you’re not looking too good...

Ron: Try having that ‘I’m going to die with no grandchildren’ talk with YOUR mom

Bosco laughed: It’s your fault...if I were you, I’d bring home some pretty kelefe and tell your mom she’s your girlfriend, then you wouldn’t have to have that talk once every few weeks

Ron: Right...and then I can grace the tabloids too...

Bosco: Maybe get one of those contracted girlfriends...you know, like in the movies

Ron: so, you’re telling me to ‘rent’ a girlfriend

Bosco: It’s possible...

Ron: Uh huh...you know what, just go tell your team to get ready in the conference room

Bosco: Fine, don’t take my advice

Myolie: What’s going on?

Bosco: This one needs a girlfriend

Myolie: That’s old news...so Ron, did your mom just give you another talk?

Ron: Ya, you know how she is

Myolie: Auntie is afraid you’ll end the family line with the rate you’re going

Ron: Great...

Myolie: If you want her to stop, just bring home a girl, and say she’s your girlfriend

Bosco: That’s what I said

Ron: The couple thinks alike...I think I’m going to be sick...

Bosco: You’re just jealous that we’re actually together, and you get tabloid girlfriends...

Myolie: You know, if you told your mom one of those rumours were true...she would’ve stopped with the talk too

Ron: If I confirmed a rumour with my mom, I’m pretty sure by the end of the day the entire world would’ve found out as well...so no

Myolie: Get those...contracted ones...you know, how Thailand have those contracted wives for those perverted old men and movie makers

Ron: That’s just disturbing...

Bosco: Honey, he’s searching for true love...like what we have...

Ron: I think I’m going to throw up...you know what, just tell everyone to meet me in five in the conference room, I’m gonna go and actually throw up now, thanks to you guys

Bosco and Myolie (in unison): Anytime

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

I hope you enjoyed it...and please leave me a few comments...I've already decided who the female lead will be and stuff...so...look out for the next chapter, which should be up in the beginning or so of March.

I should get back to my thesis, but before that, next week I will be updating Someone Like You and probably the finale for Take 2 (fingers crossed)

See you then, and remember to comment!!!

Randomness...OUT!!!

Someone Like You: Ch 4

Howdy folks,

FIRST POST OF THE YEAR!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! and HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!!!It’s been a while, but I’m back and I will be updating this fanfic properly. Let’s get started.

The two of them walked out of the tea shop and Ron led the way. Four blocks later they were standing in front of this small ice cream shop.

Ron: Come on

Leila: You made me walk all this way for some ice cream?

Ron: Yup...but not just any ice cream...the best ice cream in a 30 mile radius

Leila: Really?

Ron: Come on...give it a try

After finishing her ice cream, she noticed that he was staring at her...

Leila: What is it?

Ron: What do you think?

Leila: It was ok

Ron: Ok? And yet you were really focused in finishing the ice cream

Leila: Well...I don’t like it when my ice cream melts

Ron: Uh huh...well...I’m glad you enjoyed it

Leila: I never said I enjoyed it

Ron chuckled: Of course...the heiress would never admit to something like that...anyways, since this is apparently our first date...we should get to know each other, right? Like from the beginning...

Leila: Again?

Ron: Why not? We have lots of time to kill...unless you’re awfully sick of seeing my face, which, if you are...don’t tell me

Leila: Fine...we’ll start over.

Ron: Ok, great. I’m Ron Ng

Leila: I’m Leila Tong

Ron: As in the daughter of THE Mr. Tong of Tong Corp

Leila: I am...

Ron: Wow, it’s a pleasure to meet you Leila...so, why is an heiress like you on a date with a guy like me?

Leila smiled: Let’s just say I need a change of perspective

Ron: You have a lovely smile you know...

Leila: Thanks...so...Ron, what do you do?

Ron: Currently, I’m just helping out my sister...but before I was a pilot, then I went into business developing a few programs and stuff like that...how about you?

Leila: I went abroad to study, came back to work for my dad...but decided I need a change of scenery. So, you were a pilot?

Ron: Ya...you probably don’t believe it...but I was...and it didn’t work out

Leila: Ok...

Ron: You know, you’re not so bad...I feel like this is our first civilized conversation

Leila: Oh great...and we were doing so well too...

Ron: So, are you really working for my sister cause you want a change of scenery?

Leila: Were you really a pilot?

Ron: Of course I was

Leila: Sure you were...and as for me it’s the reason I provided to you earlier and the fact that I wanted a change of scenery

Ron: Not because you want to prove your daddy wrong?

Leila: Why do you think that?

Ron: Too many TVB series with my mom...or because a lot of rich people do that type of thing...not wanting to be type casted as someone who was born with a silver spoon in their mouths, not knowing how the world is, not practical...living in another world...

Leila: Oh, is that so?

Ron shrugged: It is...you’re not the first one I met who’s like that...nothing to be ashamed of

Leila: This coming from a guy who tells a girl he’s a pilot

Ron: WAS a pilot

Leila: Whatever, I’m leaving

Ron: You don’t even know where we are

Leila: I’ll call my family’s chauffer

Ron: This coming from the ‘I need a change of scenery’ person, why won’t you just call your Power Chan?

Leila: Bye

She walked out of the shop and made her call leaving Ron sitting there.

Leila ranting: I can’t believe I was having a decent conversation with that despicable guy. Why does he have to ruin things for? And where is this place? Never again will I follow him! So frustrating!!!

Ron walked out to hear her ranting aloud to herself

Ron: Not only are you judgemental, you’re slightly crazy too...fantastic

Leila: Why are you following me?

Ron: Oh? I didn’t know leaving the shop meant that I’m following you? You’re crazy

Leila: Why are you being so petty?

Ron: I’m being petty, you got to be kidding me...you’re the one who’s picking a fight

Leila: You’re the one who called me crazy

Ron: Talking to yourself is generally a symptom

Leila: I wouldn’t be ranting to myself if you were acting like a proper grownup and we had continued our civilized conversation...

Ron: Ok, so it’s my fault...fine...I guess I’m just a terrible person so, since you’re boyfriend is coming I should get going

Leila: My boyfriend?

Ron pointed at the car that was coming towards them, the license plate, as expected from rich people actually read the guy’s name

Leila: You can’t leave

Ron: Why not?

Leila: It’s...well...because...

Ron: Go on...

Leila looked at her watch: It’s only 3:30...our work day ends at 5...

Ron took a deep breath: Fine...

He walked over and embraced her and whispered

Ron: You win...this time

Leila smiled: Oh no, your sister said that we have to be a pair...so...

The car stopped, the man walked out and next thing Ron knew his left cheek was throbbing and he was on the floor

Power shouting: What are you doing with my fiancée?

=====

I almost forgot how fun it is to write an entire chapter filled with lots of dialogue and bickering. I’m sorry for the delay though, sometimes I just go through bouts of writer’s block...but now I’m back...I hope you enjoyed this update and will leave me a comment or two, cause I love reading your comments.

Also, I will be starting a new fanfic that will be posted once a month, until the end of this year...I’ll post a little something about that later. Oh, and I’ve noticed posts on the cbox about the new series with Ron and Linda. I have been watching that series and I thoroughly enjoy it, but I’m only on episode 8 or so, so I have a lot of catching up to do as well.

Anywho, remember to leave me a comment or comments and I WILL BE BACK!!! (Soon)

Final post of the year! (on this blog)

Happy New Year!

Funny how quickly time passes by. At the beginning of 2011 the only thought I had was that I should work hard to achieve the goals that I had set for myself. But as the year went on my ideas about certain things in life started to change. I know that this year I updated even less frequently than last and well I must apologize for that.

The reason why I started to write fanfics was because I was so tired of waiting around for updates. Little I know that I would become one of those writers that would also take forever to update lol But in all honesty though, I'm very grateful for those of you who have stuck with me until today. Actually I'm quite honored to have been able to entertain you even if just for a few moments of your life with my updates. 



I learned that I should really stop making promises cause I obviously have problems keeping them. However, I will try to update at least 3-4 times a month and since I did not write a special for this holiday season I will write one during valentine's day. On top of that... If the world does not end in 2012 I have quite the comedic premise for a holiday special in december of 2012. I hope by then you'll still be around because all of your comments and support mean the world to me, especially when I'm not feeling well...emotionally. Thank you all!

I wish everyone an amazing new year filled with happiness, good health, plenty of fun and laughter.

See you all in 2012!

Randomness...out!

My Apologies

I'm sorry for the lack of updates. As some of you may know, I'm in the middle of final exams and so I'm a bit swamped, and whatever time I do have left over is used to eat and sleep. However, I managed to wake up this morning with a little melody in my head, and so I recorded it and uploaded it onto youtube so...check it out!!!





Updates will be posted after my last exam of the year which is on December 20th...so please be patient with me...and maybe wish me good luck.

Good luck with whatever you're working on,

Someone Like You: Chapter 3: Surprises

Ch 3

Ron followed Leila out of the office and towards the elevator. Moments later Krystal came out of her office and started talking to Nancy.

Krystal: I see my brother has taken a liking towards you

Nancy: I guess so...but he still doesn’t remember who I am

Krystal: Pretty ironic for a guy who has an eidetic memory

Nancy: Probably because I look nothing like how I used to look back then

Krystal: So, any harsh feelings?

Nancy shook her head: Nah...we were all young, and he seems different now...

Krystal: Are you going to tell him?

Nancy: Tell him what?

Krystal: How you two know each other?

Nancy: Nope...

Krystal: And if he figures it out...

Nancy: Then isn’t it a good thing?

Krystal smiled: You’re a nice girl, too bad my little brother didn’t notice that back then

Nancy: Maybe because I wasn’t so nice...

Krystal laughed: Well...whatever the reason, I’m glad you’re working here...because without you Florence and I wouldn’t know what to do

Nancy: Speaking of Florence, is she still with that client?

Krystal nodded: The man doesn’t seem to understand that she’s not into him, but at the same time he keeps on coming back in for a consultation, so technically it’s a win-win situation

Florence walked out of her office with her client

Florence: I’m sorry Mr. Lee...but the company policy is that we’re not allowed to date our clients, so I will try my best to find you someone who is more suitable

Mr. Lee: Please, just call me Johnson, we’ve known each other for quite some time now...and if that’s the case, I’ll be back again, maybe I could persuade you to work at a different company?

Florence smiled: I’m sorry; I can’t leave my best friend like that

Johnson: Well, if you change your mind, you know my number

Florence: Of course

Johnson: I’ll see you again sometime then

Florence: Bye

After Johnson had left, Florence walked over to where Krystal and Nancy were

Florence: Go ahead, let it out

The three of them broke out in laughter

Nancy: I think one day he’s going to come in here and propose to you

Florence: Then I’ll be ‘honest’ with him

Nancy: ‘Honest’ in what way?

Florence: I don’t know...I’ll just tell him I’m in a relationship with one of you (she laughed)

Krystal: Oh please...you’re not my type...and you’re definitely not Nancy’s type either

Florence: And what type is Nancy looking for? Someone like...your brother, perhaps? I notice how he looks at you...it’s a look of infatuation...

Nancy: And you can tell because that’s how your Johnson looks at you?

The three of them continued to laugh.

~ Tea Shop~

Ron: So...what would you like to know about me?

Leila: Just the basics...things a girlfriend would need to know about her boyfriend

Ron: Ok...like what?

Leila: Birthday

Ron: September 2^nd

Leila: Ok...favourite colour

Ron: Hold up...I know you sent me this entire document with your relevant information and all...and I can easily read and memorize it...but...I propose that we get to know each other in a more human way

Leila: Right...because obviously apes can type 20 page documents

Ron: I mean...a more social way...like a normal couple would...

Leila: But we’re not a normal couple

Ron: Oh, believe me...I know that and I’m glad that this is all an act...but...if you want to make it believable, I suggest we do it like how a couple should

Leila: Fine...so, what do you propose we do now?

Ron: Well...since you asked, there is a place I’d like to go...

Leila looked at him: And is it a place where a normal guy can take his normal girlfriend on a normal date

Ron nodded: I’m not sure what you’re trying to allude to...but this is a perfectly normal place where a normal couple might go to

Leila: Fine, then let’s go

Ron paid for the tea that they didn’t drink and the two of them left the shop and started walking.

Leila: Aren’t we going back to the company to get our cars?

Ron: Nah, it’s just about 4 blocks away from here...and the weather is relatively good

Leila: First of all, you want me to walk 4 blocks? And second of all...it’s relatively good weather? Which means that it could rain...

Ron: Ya...so?

Leila: Do you think I can walk 4 blocks?

Ron looked at her: Even though you’re not exactly ‘fit’ but, I’m pretty sure you know how to walk and can walk...so...ya

Leila: And what if it rains?

Ron: It won’t...come on, before the weather decides to change

Leila: Fine, but next time...

Ron: Next time, what?

Leila: we should plan things out ahead of time

Ron: I see you’re not a fan of surprises

Leila: Let’s just say I like to have things under control

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

Sorry for the delay, I had a few midterms and big term end assignments and projects to do...and stuff that I still need to do. Anyways, I'm looking forward to continuing this fanfic...because I think the next chapter will be quite entertaining...so just wait and read.

Also, the other fanfics will be updated shortly. This week will involve a lot of writing...both for school and for this blog...so, be patient and enjoy.

Please leave a comment/comments on how you feel about this fanfic thus far and tell me how you feel about a Ron and Nancy pairing...or well, not exactly...but...ya..

Someone Like You: Ch 2

Ch 2: Personal Understanding

After the Krystal had gone through all the rules and regulations once more, it was time for the employees to spend a bit of time together or at least with their partners.

Krystal: I know that this is an unusual set up, but I guarantee you that this is quite beneficial...so, please spend some time getting to know each other so that your act won’t look too perfect (she smiled)

Ron: What?

Krystal: Even real couples don’t always agree...or know everything about their other half...

Ron: So then why are you telling us to get to know each other, when obviously it’s not necessary?

Krystal: Ron, why are you always the only one who has so many questions and qualms about all of this...look at everyone else...

Ron: Fine

As everyone left the conference room, Leila asked Ron to stay back for a bit

Ron: So, what is it?

Leila: We need to talk

Ron looked at her: Usually when a girl tells me that, it’s been months into our relationship. Leila Tong, you’ve just broken a new record

Leila: That’s great...but, we do need to talk

Ron: Go ahead...are you going to tell me why a young heiress would work for a small matchmaking company like this one?

Leila: No

Ron: Well...if you don’t mind...I think it’s probably because you want to prove to your father that you’re equally as capable as or more capable than your brother. And you want to prove the fact that you can be successful without all of that money...you have quite the ego issue

Leila: I wanted to talk to you, not let you analyze me...but...it seems you’re actually smarter than you look

Ron: Oh, I get that a lot...since most people think that good looks results in a lack of intelligence...but really...

Leila: No...I just meant that you don’t look like the educated type and you act like a five year old

Ron: Ok then...so, what did you want to talk about?

Leila: Well...since you know who I am, I’m assuming you would also know about the rumours of the merger between the Tong Corp and Chan Enterprise...

Ron: Maybe...go on

Leila: you know how the policy for this company is that we are not allowed to have any relationships outside of work...

Ron: Uh huh

Leila: I’m supposed to get engaged to Power Chan...

Ron: Ok...but you obviously can’t now...or is it that you never wanted to, to begin with

Leila: Exactly

Ron: So...what does that have to do with us...?

Leila: I tried to break it off with Power, but he doesn’t seem to get it...so...I applied to work here knowing that the policy would actually help me with my personal matters. So, I need you to act accordingly and be there when I need you...

Ron: Ok

Leila: Ok? That’s all you have to say?

Ron: What else do you want me to say?

Leila: Nevermind...

Ron: So...I guess we should get to know each other then...if you want this to work

Leila: It’s not like I have much of a choice

Ron: Ok...hi, I’m Ron Ng...I have an eidetic memory, I can fly small planes and I love movies where all the main characters die at the end...and since that never happen, you can tell I’m not a fan of movies

Leila: Really? This is how we’re going to find out about each other?

Ron: What were you expecting? Some sort of magical kiss where I could somehow transfer all the knowledge about myself into you?

Leila: I thought you were prepared

Ron: Prepared?

She took out her phone and asked him for his email. Once he gave her his email, she sent him a single pdf file from her phone.

Leila: There

Ron: What?

Leila: Open it

Ron: It’s twenty pages long

Leila: It’s everything you need to know about me

Ron: Lucky for you...

Leila: Why is that?

Ron: Weren’t you paying any attention when I introduced myself to you...I said that I have an eidetic memory

Leila: Great!

Ron: Don’t tell me that you expect me to send you a pdf about me tonight...

Leila: Oh no, I don’t exactly have such high expectations for you since you didn’t even consider doing something like that to begin with

Ron shook his head: You know, you should definitely get married to that Power Chan guy

Leila: And why is that? Did you buy our company’s stocks?

Ron: No...I just don’t think there’s another man out there who would want to marry you

Leila: Excuse me?

Ron: Seems to me that you’ve had a great life, and you haven’t ever stepped outside that bubble of the good life before. You haven’t seen the world, and yet you try to judge the world through your narrow minded perspective

Leila: And you think you’re any better

Ron smiled: You just don’t get it...but that’s ok...I guess you’ll have to learn

Leila: Is this your life philosophy or something

Ron: Sure...anyways, let’s get to work

The two of them walked out of the conference room and realized that both Krystal and Florence were seeing new clients, while Jason and Fala had already left.

Ron walked over to Nancy’s desk at the front

Ron: Where did Jason and Fala go?

Nancy: They went for coffee...maybe you and Leila should go too

Ron: Maybe...what about you?

Nancy: Me? I’m supposed to stay here and work out all your paper work as well as set the appointment dates for you guys

Ron: So...how come my sister never introduced us?

Nancy smiled: Why would she?

Ron shrugged: She’s always been trying to introduce me to nice girls

Nancy: And you think I’m a nice girl?

Ron: I think you’re a wonderful person

Nancy: I’m flattered

Ron smiled: Even though you don’t exactly give off that vibe...but, from the things you do...I can tell

Leila cleared her throat

Ron whispered to Nancy: I think she’s jealous...

Ron turned around and smiled at Leila: Nancy said we should go for coffee

Leila: I don’t drink coffee

Ron: Tea?

Leila: Might as well

Ron turned back to Nancy: Would you like anything?

Nancy: I’m good, thanks

Ron: Oh well...I guess I’ll see you later, if not, then tomorrow

Nancy: Bye, and have fun

Ron: I’ll try

Please, leave me a comment...and once again 3 or more before an update, this time I don't think there should be too much of a stall between the updates...but if anything does come up to hinder the posting of updates, I will let you know.
