Dialogue

Tin Tin     : It’s been two months.
Q.B.         : Huh?
Tin Tin     : Your blog, no new post for more than two months already.
Q.B.         : Oh, I see.
Tin Tin     : When will you take care of this?
Q.B.         : When I have time.
Tin Tin     : You only need to modify a little bit from your original copy and this won’t take you much time.
Q.B.         : I’m quite busy lately.
Tin Tin     : Of course. Besides school, homeworks and ECAs, you have to play ballgames, video games and watching TV plus hanging around with your buddies and day dreaming.
Q.B.         : Thanks for your understanding.
Tin Tin     : It’s no good to leave something unfinished like this.
Q.B.         : If only you have had published the book for me at the beginning.
Tin Tin     : You still have to promote it after publishing! Otherwise no one will buy or even read it. Why bother to print a pile of rubbish then find space for stock?
Q.B.         : (Shrug) Well……
Tin Tin     : Didn’t you say it’s fun to mix your story into nowadays’ life in the blog?
Q.B.         : Yes……
Tin Tin     : Weren’t you very excited to find readers from more than 20 countries? Remember Russia, Morocco and even United Arab Emirates?
Q.B.         : Indeed……
Tin Tin     : The story is already there. Just put them all in the blog!
Q.B.         : But……I just don’t have the mood to do it.
Tin Tin     : (Sigh) So……you wanna give up?
Q.B.         : Of course not!
Tin Tin     : So?
Q.B.         : (Seems to have a big idea suddenly) I can authorize you to do it for me!
Tin Tin     : Authorize? Are you kidding? You should ask me for help……
Q.B.         : (Rolling his eyes)
Tin Tin     : …… or even pay me to do so.
Q.B.         : (Quickly) Please help.
Tin Tin     : It’s difficult since this is not my own stuff.
Q.B.         : Didn’t you say that everything is ready? You just need to modify a bit.
Tin Tin     : Why it’s me in the end?
Q.B.         : I too think it’s not good to dump the blog like this.
Tin Tin     : (Shaking head) It’s your own child and you just leave it alone.
Q.B.         : Like you mothers, it doesn’t mean that you abandon your kids when you hand them to the domestic helpers.
Tin Tin     : ……So……am I the domestic helper?
Q.B.         : (Go away happily)
