Term2 Week8 Too Talkative

Tan just cannot keep his mouth shut. Some exhort him that his garrulousness, will lend him in big trouble but he did not believe in it, saying that they are just too timid, ignoring their advices.

One bright Sunday morning, his primary school’s archenemy called him asking him to meet him at Singapura Plaza, he wants to patch up with for what he had done to him. Tan did not hesitate and agreed. Around afternoon, they both met and sat down and talked. When it was about evening, both of them when to Quay Boat to have a drink. As usual, throughout the whole trip, Tan kept talking and talking but the once archenemy was not bored because he was as talkative as Tan.

Disaster descended when Tan got drunk. Out came the most disgusting and humiliating words with some garnishing of vulgarities. Tan criticized his once archenemy to be indolent and obsessed. Feeling humiliated, embarrassed and hurt, his once archenemy left him there to keep droning on.

The next morning, Tan got up at a bench near the place where he had been inebriated. The staff must have left him there. When he got home, he switched on his computer and saw that his once archenemy had sent him an email. That led him to think about what happened yesterday but he forgot what happened after they chatted at singapura plaza, which went quite well. Thinking that he had one less foe and one more friend, he opened up the email, appalled to find a string of criticism from his once archenemy and that he will never ever forgive him for what he had done that night.

Tan, who still cannot remember what happened that night was not as talkative as before as he finally learnt his lesson of talking too much.
