Blurb
:
Godfrey is young, wealthy and able-bodied. He has all the
women you can imagine, and unbelievably deep pockets. But Godfrey wants more.
His Great Greatness wants to rid the world of a menacing scourge, and restore
what is truly superior to an elevated position. Why would anyone stop him? Who
could possibly stop him?
Chucky arrives as the new assistant, and tries to perform
every duty that is handed to him. What challenges for a dull servant! Look at
him muddling through! With passports of exclusive privilege, the two
adventurers make a splash in tropical Langkawi, where the water is blue and the
girls are brown. Then they rendezvous with the locals in Singapore, where
pleasures are plentiful and multicolored. Food and money are found in piles.
Life in a global city should be, possibly, one of uninterrupted leisure…shouldn’t
it?
Desire is a seductively red piece of jade, which resides
even in our dreams.
"I am a healthy, strong and sexy male with a life, most
of it sex life." - Godfrey Mann
"I did not know how to reply, since the words were
difficult to speak." - Chucky

Excerpt:
Godfrey
and Chucky discover a great way to fly.
Just
like Master Gawd’s fast car, this big bird-like thing has seatbelts. We watched
a TV program where the Singapore Airlines girls, called SIA girls, showed us
how to evacuate in the event of an emergency. I looked around and noticed that
very few people were paying attention to the TV program, and my master himself
was alternating his gaze between the dinner menu and the SIA girls that walked
down the aisle. From the behavior of my fellow passengers, I could only
conclude that air emergencies did not happen very frequently, so I felt
reassured. They sound quite scary, these emergencies.
My
master proclaimed, “They should have given us bigger seats, don’t you think.
There’s just barely enough space for me to stretch my legs. What if one of
those hot girls comes to sit on my lap?” He slouched forward and wiggled his
feet.
“They
seem to be busy standing up and walking about to get us things, master,” I
replied, trying to defend the air servants.
“We
might even have been short-changed, Chucky. Look at this picture,” said master,
pointing to the Krisflyer magazine. “They got these first-class seats where you
can like, lie down and roll about. That’s the way it should be, don’t you
think?”
“Yes,
master. I guess they only have it for the bigger planes.”
“They
gave us a small plane, Chucky. This sucks.”
I was
feeling a little upset because my master was not too satisfied with our
business class seats. It is very important that servants work hard for the sake
of higher authorities. I was actually quite happy that we could get tickets
just like that with our credit card, but I did not dare to mention it to my
master in case he would get angry. Usually when I book the train in the Eastern
Heaven, I have to make reservations beforehand.
Now, I
was expecting this to be an unpleasant flight for my master, but it turned out
that things went the other way. The SIA ladies started to walk down the aisle
and gave us these strange-looking black things wrapped in a see-through bag.
There was one lady on Master’s aisle, wearing the interesting dress with the
shape of the female body and hair rolled up into a bun with a neat, shiny
side-parting. There was one lady on my aisle too, wearing the same interesting
dress with the shape of the female body and hair rolled up into a bun with a
neat, shiny side-parting. Both had a mild smile on their faces and were walking
down the aisles at about the same speed. When the lady walking down Master
Gawd’s aisle met Master Gawd, her smile widened and she started talking a lot
in a loud voice. Master Gawd greeted her and introduced himself as ‘Great
Godfrey’, and she chuckled and introduced herself as ‘Mindy Wong’. Master
mentioned that it was his ‘first time on your wonderful airline’ and she
proceeded to explain to Master that she was giving him headsets for
entertainment and that her beautiful dress was called the Sarong Kebaya. Her
English pronunciation was not the most clear and I think I might have heard
‘headsex’ but I probably was mistaken. From my master’s reaction and smiling
face, the lady must have been quite beautiful and pleasing to his taste.
When
the lady walking down my aisle met me, her already-thin smile almost vanished.
She took out a yellow piece of headset and passed it to me in silence before
moving on really quickly. The yellow headset felt a little tight as I spread it
around my ears. I was fumbling about with the controls while Master Gawd was
already fully plugged in and flipping through the channels. Then the most
mysterious thing happened: the same SIA girl whom I saw just a short while ago
comes down the aisle once again. This time she looked at me, with the same face
as before, and spoke: “I’m sorry sir, my colleague just now gave you the wrong
headset, which is for children. Here is the correct one.” She passed me a black
headset just like the one everybody else had.
I am
blinking my eyes looking at this same SIA girl who I saw moments ago. I think
the take-off is making me imagine things, don’t you think?
“Is
there anything else I can get you, sir?”
“Sorry…I
mean no. Well, I don’t know, it’s my first time. Never mind.” I stammered.
The
colleague who looked the same as the same-looking colleague I met before,
walked off briskly, leaving me to my confusion. Perhaps this is what the
ancient sages call ‘mystery of mysteries’.
When I
was going to the washroom, the curtain happened to be drawn and down the aisle
I noticed a whole new area to the aircraft with many people inside. The seats
looked smaller than ours, and every seat had someone in it. They were being
served by a male steward, and when I asked him what this area was, he stared at
me with a confused look, and replied “This is economy class, sir.” I felt
somewhat relieved that I was not the only confused man on the aircraft. This
economy class seems to be quite popular though.
Our
dinner was served to us in small boxes. Master Gawd exchanged many words and
glances with Mindy. I was not used to the descent to Changi Airport, so I threw
up into the throw-up bag. I felt a bit embarrassed, but Master Gawd did not
seem to mind.
