That stupid Kong that upturned my life

I have a friend at work called hao peng you. Dont ask me why but somehow one day that term just stuck on for us and whenever we see each other down the corridor, we would go "yo hao peng you!"
Once I brought it up to him that it sounds like what chinese would term the spirits that comes from the nether world entered via the gates of Hell. But we just laught it off and its always hao peng you along the corridors. Im thinking those other colleagues who believes in such might actually slam the toilet doors shut whenever we shout out down the corridor. Dont have to come out of the toilet already. Hao peng you echos the walkway.
Recently hao peng you found a job elsewhere and though it was sad while nearing the day of his departure, it was good that he could move on. He cannot just move on, he must go and buy some tidbits for my team, some farewell goodies. One of those goodies killed me.
It was some snack in a tin box, it started out innocent enought. Some nibbling here and there, pretty soon I was hugging the tin box and munching outta it.
When it finished, I stared at the bottom of the empty tin and I thought I saw blooshot eyes reflected off the tin.
Days later I could think of nothing except the stupid tin box tidbit. One hot afternoon just right after my lunch, I walked past cold storage and made a beeline to the tidbits corner. Holy Jellybeans!! Beautiful tin box were staring back at me and I felt my heart leap out. I reached for it and this is where I made the greatest mistake. I reasoned and rationaled. Firstly it wasnt very cheap secondly it's a little awkward walking around CBD area with a big aluminium tin. I thought I could buy it at another shop during the weekends when I have the car. Big Big mistake.
Today me and my parents racked thru cold storage island-wide. Stupid tin was sold out?! It felt like the world was out to get me. When I wanna eat, everybody else wants a bite!
At one point, we did chance upon it but it was a small tin and at that time I wasnt convince it was really that extinct! So I moved on to another location thinking I could find the standard box. Exhausted the locations and I was getting desparate.
I called hao peng you outta exasperation scolded him first for getting me hooked onto a tin and begged him tell me where he bought it. Sheng shiong supermart!
Ang Mo Kio has 2 it seems! I asked for directions to the biggest outlet but he wasnt very sure of the exact street just the blk number.
I toured Ang Mo Kio but alas the blk evaded me. Big or small tin, I drove back to Hougang where I discovered the small tin. You'll be surprised, its sold at a Guardian Pharmacy. Well it was certainly medicine for my soul, I was in withdrawal.
As I was heading down Hougang, hao peng you called. He went to the Sheng Shiong near his house and true enough not a single tin! But en route home he actually found some damn packets (not tin form) lingering around! He bought 6 packs straight but I was too far away to return to AMK. It was very nice of him and I made him promise he cannot touch a single packet wahahhaa. All for me!
Im really happy now cos I've got a small tin at home and 6packs waiting for me. It should last me for quite awhile =)
