Don't dismiss crazy ideas. You'd be surprised how real some are.

You know my knack for seeing conspiracies where there be none?

(Those of you who don't know, it's probably because I didn't discuss them in detail with you, due to the fact that I know most of those theories--99.9%-- all exist exclusively in my head)

Well, turns out one of my conspiracy theories might not be so far-fetched after all.


Here's the theory: the chinese-cultural-cultivation-centre-for-kids thingy (you WILL forgive me for not naming the place... defamation laws) I work at now, is headed by a married couple, my teachers (I was and still am a student there) and technically my bosses, who have a daughter and a son also helping out as assistant teachers.

The son, three years my elder, has had a crush on me since a few years back (reason #2 that I initially refuted this theory... reason #1 has already been statistically stated above), and my bosses know, and my bosses approve of his "pick", and have been trying to:

A} Matchmake (reason #3a for in-validating this theory);

B} Draw me into their family (reason #3b for dumping the theory); and

C} Casually mold me into the perfect in-law (needless to say, reason #3c for rendering this theory completely bogus).


Even I know this is far-fetched, so, much as it kept bouncing in my head, I've been ignoring this theory.


Now, stuff that have given me second doubts about this apparently bogus theory.


Suspicious-but-not-concrete clue #1: One of the other teachers was surprised to hear that I had a boyfriend before. Most people of her generation, looking at people of my generation, would more often than not be surprised rather that I didn't have one till 18. Irrational-and-maybe-not-so-irrational thought: What, did someone book me?


Suspicious-but-not-concrete clue #2: The teasing expression on my female boss' face when she asked her son if he had any girlfriends I could sell jewellry to. It's probably nothing, but it did bother me. Plus, there was this other little dirty joke that was cracked another time, but I won't mention this in detail.


Suspicious-but-not-concrete clue #3: Persistant requests to dine for me to with the family after work. The one time I relented and went with them for lunch, my bosses even took the liberty of dropping me off at the SMU administration building for the open house. During lunch, my female boss' face melted into that meaningful teasing look when she asked her two children (the son in particular) if they wanted to come to the open house with me rather than do library research. I wondered aloud why they would need to (the girl is in NUS 4th year; the boy should be in NUS too). My male boss said, "去看美女". Like, what? Am I just a favourite student? Something's still wrong.


Extremely-suspicious-but-not-concrete clue #4: Curious extra amounts of money in my monthly pay. February, I got $65 extra. This time, instead of deducting $65, WITH MY REMINDER, from my salary, $125 was added. There's no mistake, I did multiple calculations on both accounts, and on both accounts, all the answers were the same. I feel as if I'm being bought.


Someone tell me how to get out of this money mess. Should I just draw cash and slam it back to them? I think I should.


I soooooo gotta look for another job... and quit this one. Problem is, I know my mom's gonna be at my neck for quitting a job with familier pple for one where I will supposedly suffer customer abuse. Plus she's not gonna believe a word I could ever say to her. She didn't believe me about a certain pervert. And that "theory" was by no means farfetched. At all.
