Pinched

Marichu, the Filipino colleague has been displaying unusual behaviors lately, which I suspect developed under Radzi's influence. It a cause for worry when she gets along so well with that rascal, because Radzi is not just bad influence but also a loose cannon and a womaniser. Marichu is a naive, innocent little girl who is over friendly and sometimes I suspect dangerously curious.

The first symptoms started when Mary(also known as Marichu) came behind me one night and leaned against the counter with her left arm behind my waist while I was waiting for the guests' bills, almost as though we were couples. I thought I could see a cheeky smile. Of course, being Mary, I assumed she was just mischievous. The last thing I know, I received a pinch on the butt the second time she passed by behind me. Why would I not be happy with that? I mean, any guy would be thrilled to be sexually harrassed by a woman but in this case, the damage done by Radzi is alarming.

Anyway, Lily has been looking for a new job lately and after getting to know a little more about her, along with some research of my own, I realised that Lily possesses nothing more than a student pass in Singapore. Her school is not registered with the Ministry of Manpower , therefore disallowing her to be employed. It tragic that there are so much rules and regulations to follow.. all she wants to do is to help her mother out by earning extra income for the family of 3, who are staying in a rented property. As far as I'm concerned, I can't do much for her but hopefully we'd be able to come up with a good solution together one day. At the very least, I'd want to make her one year stay here in Singapore as pleasant as possible.
