Turtle and The Hare
Meet Mr J. I met him on a business meeting. He is a lively 60yo. He was one of the elites of a revolution happened in Indonesia few years ago. In fact, he claimed to be the wing man to the president of this revolution. I looked at him in awe. Until he told me that he has five wives. My skin shrieked with allergic reaction. He was smiling when he said that. He elaborated further, his third wife was a model.

My mind: SO YOUR WIFE SACRIFICED HER CARRIER TO BE WITH YOU???

MR J: My first son from my first wife has three wives now.

Moi: THREE AND COUNTING HUH? WHY DON'T YOU CALL THE NEWS AGENTS?

MR J: *smirking and looking at me in what I called pervert old man eyes*

Moi: *trying to think about the deal*


Let me try to be a busybody. How can he provides to all his wives and children? A man alone? It's not sympathetic, it's sarcastic. None of his wives works. He still has small children of the age 2 - 5. I'm a devout idealist when I think that a family consists a father, a mother and two children with no more than 40 years of age gap. 40 years! It's two generations. And in the world moving in hyperspeed as is today, 40 years means at least 120 new computer models. 120 new ways of communicating. How can you communicate with your kids? And dare he compliments. I hurled in my mouth a little.
