She's just six,and my wife is late

Late ! go back for her then, she is probably still waiting for you somewhere !

Quote:

You are pretty inside of you....... Confused

small talk about Gina's family..... the usual. On hearing Gina lives alone...

Quote:

You leave alone now? not even a maid?

hadn't thought of a maid for Gina....
Quite alone. I am happy being alone. The house is a bit big for me however I choose to stay here.. I love it.

Are you through with your wine yet?

one glassful left..... I have just poured it...

Take that easy dear okay?

Oh I always do. I have to have what I enjoy...

Quote:

Just sip slowly

Giving Gina tips on how to drink !

Quote:

Have you gone round to check for security purpose before you go to bed?

All is well. Doors locked and windows closed. I do that because I come upstairs in the evening.

Quote:

Hope those outside lights are on?

on the house and in the garden.
And I am going to go now dear. I am tired.

Quote:

and the inside lights off.....
Come on dear try and make sure you are sure....

.I'm baiting the Crime Prevention Officer !

Quote:

You must cover yourself before you go to sleep,cos i think the weather is kinda cold now.....bye friend

And so he went ! Very off script ! In fact... unique in romance lads I've baited before ! Don't like them this smooth because I get worried others will be taken in by his 'concern'. However he did make me feel like his old Granny !

Hoped I would catch you here today...

Quote:

Yes you just did my dear friend,as soon as i came in..... you are welcome

Hello... are you having a good day?

Quote:

Yes my friend and i hope you are having a good day too?
where are you my dear?

Yes, been busy but now just sitting inside. It's raining here so I am in my home.

Quote:

Hope you are well sheltered?
and if the weather is cold you don't hesitate to go inside

I AM INSIDE Shocked

I am in a lovely warm room with a nice big fire. Very cosy. I am inside.

Quote:

Good, that's good to hear, please i think you should get something hot to drink, like tea or coffee .........

I have a cup of tea. My favourite drink. Embarassed

Gina tells a white lie !

Quote:

I am actually chatting with you

yes, I know that !
What will you be doing with your evening.

Quote:

I am a foreigner here so i don't go out.........i only stay in doors

I would think it is nice to find out what new places are like. I love to go and explore what is there.

Quote:

Like i told you i am foreigner

I like being a foreigner. It can be very exciting.

Quote:

So what do you wish to do now?

Not sure. I have a few phone calls to make. I think a long bath, then some time online and to bed with a good book I think. A warm, lazy night.

Quote:

Okay friend
No!!!!! i don't think that's laziness.......i think you are just tired

I am tired today.... and you? If you are all alone, do you just go to bed early? Or watch a movie or something?

Quote:

No i don't go to bed early....

I hope you don't get bored. There's nothing worse than being bored? Will you take a drink tonight?

Quote:

some times i get bored but i don't drink

Oh a nice glass of wine in the evenings is one of life's little pleasures.

Quote:

i want you stop taking much of wines

Now he is going too far !
Oh no dear. I always like some wine in the evening. It has health benefits for me.

Quote:

What do you think would cheer me up?

Well, you don't go out... so it has to be a nice meal and something on the TV, are you in a hotel?

Quote:

Yes i am in a hotel

Well, a nice meal and there are usually movies or something on television.

Quote:

Yes, you are such a caring and lovely woman..........

I know...
Oh sweet man. I wish I was there and you wouldn't be lonely.

Quote:

Are you serious about this thing you just said now?

Well, you sound as if you need cheering up dear ! I hate to think of anyone sad and alone.

Quote:

Yes i really need someone to confide to but i am in a foreign country.....and you really know what it means....

how much is it going to cost me?
But I am here dear... of course you can confide in me.

Quote:

So why did you decide to stay away from your sons?

This is the family home. The grew up here. When they married they moved to their own homes. Not so far away. But they have good lives they have made for themselves.

Quote:

What do they go for a living?.............am sorry if am asking too many questions

deciding how much to ask for
No... their father had a garage selling cars. He started the business with his father. It is successful. My sons now run the business after their father's death.

Quote:

Good business they have doing...........so how do you yourself raise money for you your up keep?

I don't need to. When my husband died he left me very well provided for.

Quote:

And for how long are those provisions going to sustain you?

As long as I live. I will never want for anything. I know I am very lucky which is why I appreciate and enjoy my life.

Quote:

Very lucky you know....unlike me.........

Yes, I do know I am lucky. My husband and family had to work very hard to build the business. I also had a good job, which I don't do now but I did earn my own money when I worked.

Quote:

That's nice thing to hear from you.......unlike me from a poor home,struggling to survive

We are all different. You don't look like you are struggling. Please don't let him come out as a struggling Nigerian
student...

Quote:

Hope you won't be bored with my life story?

Of course not... oh yes I will......................................

Posted: Fri Apr 03, 2015 4:02 pm

Here is the sad and heartrending story of Lewis Alexander:

Quote:

I am single father..........
with a daughter..........
My wife died..........
Father dead
no brother, no sister, just the only child.
I was trained by a good friend of mine
I wasn't capable of taking care of my daughter so i gave her to my cousin sister (isn't your cousin's sister, your cousin too?)
Am sorry i have to stop here, cos i....i promised my late wife not to allow my tears drop on the floor.

Oh dont' dear. I am here for you Did I sound sincere enough?

Quote:

So please i have to stop the story now and continue later i promise........

I'll come back later... take care sweet man..

Quote:

Hope you won't get angry?

No.... I never get angry.... Rolling Eyes

So I am to log in later to hear the rest of the heart rending story.
I'm taking bets on him being a Nigerian who is trying to look after his family and doesn't like scamming but he has to.... Now where is that violin !!!!!!!!!

Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2015 4:44 pm

So, didn't hear from him for a while then.....

Quote:

Hello my dear friend, i haven't heard from you since the last time we chatted, i hope all is well,and i hope you are in good health?.......

I am good thank you and I hope you are.
It's been a busy Easter weekend here ! Just having a little rest.

Quote:

Am so sorry i disturbed, maybe i will leave you rest my dear......

Oh no.... I logged in to see who was here.

Quote:

How many of your friends did you find dear?

Oh many... all family, and also three family friends.. there was 10 this morning here...
all busy and nice to see everyone.
you never came back to talk to me

Quote:

I was making sure i wasn't disturbing,so later i got so worried that i couldn't bear,then i took the risk to check on you.......

you can check on me anytime I told you that.

Quote:

That was the first time and only time you said it, so i wasn't sure yet that i could......

I never say anything I don't mean !

Quote:

I hope i am not too late to adjust.....

no... of course not.. how do you mean 'adjust'

Quote:

......adjust to taking your word in

of course not. I don't like to see you sad and I think you are.

Quote:

Yes my dear i am, but i know that things will be fine.....

the future helps make things better for all.

Quote:

I hope so my dear
I work partially under a friend just for this contract only...

So how are you feeling today? Are you at work today or off.
Is it a friend you can trust... ?

Quote:

hmmm....... i can only trust him partially. He feels superior......but he knows he can't do it alone, treats me unfairly

Oh I know many like that. How much longer in the contract.

Quote:

It's roughly estimated for six month contract, but not yet certain..... i think i stay to the end....
But there are so many things to invest on,so sometimes i go around looking at what one could invest on.....

Well, investments are fine if you do them properly and only invest what you can afford to lose.
It isn't a good way to get money if you are not careful.

Quote:

Yes that's true and it one of the risk one will to take to break through....

Investing is like gambling. Good if it works but very bad if it doesn't.
I prefer to know how much I have and keep it there. I am not one for investments.

Quote:

But i know one good business my dad always tell me to do whenever i am fit...

then again, he pulled back and went... he's a strange cookie.

Posted: Wed Apr 08, 2015 5:08 pm

Quote:

Happy Easter Monday my dear friend.

To you too.... I've been so lucky and had a lovely day.

Quote:

Yes good. I have been all alone my dear

Poor you. The price to pay of going away to work. Can't you get a job closer to home. Go for contracts closer. May not be as much money but your life would be better.

Quote:

But i will like to invest here if i have the cash...
I love taking risk and it has always worked for me...

if money means more than family then do it. I know what is more important to me.

Quote:

My daughter is with my cousin sister

isn't his cousin's sister, his cousin as well ?
I am sure she misses you.

Quote:

She calls her mum already

If she hasn't got a father then she will have to.

Quote:

You are really caring........

I care for my family. They are worth more than chasing investment.

Quote:

But i would money to make a good and happy family

so, what is this great investment of yours then?

Quote:

But i would need money to make a good and happy family
To build condominiums

so you must have money?

Quote:

I want the best for my daughter

no. you want to make money. You clearly have money now but it isn't enough.

Quote:

My daughter is my whole life...

No she isn't. She should be left with her 'mum'. You get on with your life and chasing money. You don't care enough for her.

Quote:

I do care for her

but you still chase more and more money. Kids don't want that. They want a happy home and love daily. You clearly have money now. But you want more. Be honest.
Don't say it's for her... it's for you.You said you were going to invest there?
so you must have something in mind

Quote:

Yes i am going to do that

so you must have some money to invest?

Quote:

Yes that's what i am struggling to get, then i invest and come back home for my daughter. she's just six

Well, I hope you get everything you want.
what if you make money, invest and your investment fails?

Quote:

It can't fall. i am strong with same believe

I think it's the other one now.. English is slipping.
All investments can fail. Nothing is guaranteed.

Quote:

I know it's 50 50, but i know mine will not fall. i might not do it alone

Then you need a good partner to share the loss if it doesn't work.

Quote:

That's not what i want really, but i it's the capital that will push me to it. I have the money at least 80% percent at rough estimation,but i haven't gotten a good site yet.....

So Lewis, you have a large amount of money already?

Quote:

Yes i do and i don't want to spend it. i want to build up something for my daughters future...

Forget your excuses for your daughter. You want to make money. Children need love. You don't want to give her love. Just money. She won't want it. So instead of making excuses just admit YOU want to make more money for YOU.
The other night you asked me not to get angry with you if you told me something. What was that?

Quote:

I thought i did tell you.
So I was interested why? I was telling you about my late wife right? Before she died,she made me promise her not to to allow my tears touch the floor.

so why would I be angry?

Quote:

Because i wanted to cut the story that night,cos i started crying

Oh how boring !
ok. Well, if that is it. So you think you have an investment but the land is on rock? Isn't that good?

Quote:

I said some of their lands are rocky,and that's the one i want to go for,cos it makes it easier. but i having gone for it yet.

You have to be sure. If you are building won't you have to stay there longer?

Quote:

I will but i will be going and coming often. Thanks for your understanding. So are you alone at home now?

I have a family friend staying... Max, he stays here often. But I am here in my favourite room.

Quote:

Hope you are comfortable with his stay with you?

Oh he stays here often. I've known him many years. I am very comfortable with him.

Quote:

i have this assurance that you are safe now. Do you like music. Did you drink today?

I am drinking now.... red wine tonight. You don't approve?

Quote:

Yes but don't take it too much
Hope you checked all the security lights?May God keep you safe

I'm not really big on God.... I believe we are what we make of our life.

Quote:

Okay dear....I only believe we all have a creator

Each to their own. I think we should all be allowed to believe what we believe.

Quote:

My dear my eyes lips are sagging now. Question

.Are you through with your wine?.

Not yet.... one glass left.

Quote:

Goodnight my friend.

*******************

So.. the money angle will be to top up the investment. He's erratic in being on Facebook. We'll see how it goes.

Posted: Sun Apr 19, 2015 3:51 pm

There have been a few minor conversations. Nothing to report. Gina has a new maid called Mercy who comes from Nigeria. Everyone is every interested in her.
Lewis has the tendency to tell me 'I have been to pee, I am back now'.... I've told him I don't need to know that but he seems happy to tell me everything !

Quote:

Hello my dear!!! how are you and how is everything with you? hope you are in good health. Good afternoon dear. Hope you have taken your lunch?

Yes... just having a little sit down for a while. Family gone so it is finally quiet.

Quote:

I knew i was going to be hot today, that's was why i didn't bother you at all. How was family able to cope with your new helper, hope they liked her like you do...

Well.... she has hardly done any work this weekend. The children have played with her all weekend ! It's been a lovely weekend.
She still doesn't like water and llamas though ! No boat and she isn't sure of the llamas ! We'll change her.

Quote:

Wow it good to understand that the children would love to see and play with Africans....

She has the most beautiful smile dear. And is so happy. She was saying sorry because she was not working but I wanted her to know it's ok ! We aren't strict here...... So, she is a little more relaxed now.

Quote:

It been long i saw Africans, but i see them here often and everyday.It's okay that she getting along with you....

There aren't many come here. If they do it is mostly southern England. Mercy came here because someone we knew in the village knew her family. I don't know how but Mercy wanted to travel and work. I am sure she will get a much better job but I'm just helping her for now. She has told me how horrible African men and and how bad they are to their women and wives so she didn't want to marry over there. I just want her to be happy.
She has missed her family a little that is why I wanted her to feel at home in my family
Well you know it is hard being away from family for a long time. So you know how she feels.

Quote:

You are very kind you know..... i have never seen such a kind woman like you...

ahh... I agree
Well, I am not sure it is kindness because I really like people if they are nice people.

Quote:

Yes i understand how she feels....but would no longer have such feelings cos you are around to make her happy and comfortable...... that's because you also nice and its nearest to the word kindness.

It was funny because she was telling the boys about bugs and snakes in Africa. You should have seen Fin ! He says he'll never go to Africa, he hates all things creepy crawly ! Yes. It is me that is lucky to have here.
I mean to have her here...

Quote:

So hope you ate well today......well sure you did.

I am getting to hate this question !
We go to the pub for lunch on a Sunday. It's really nice.

Quote:

You drank wine today already?

Oh no.. not so early. Usually around 6pm. Oh it's Sunday ! Thanks for reminding me, I can have a glass now ! what are you doing today?

Quote:

Am fine and we actually did work much today.
But we closed early

I suppose if you are so important you have to work every day.

Quote:

I will be working with him for just one week now and i will go off.

(He's isn't getting on with his selfish friend so he is having to go on his own )
have you decided where your project will be then?

Quote:

Sorry for the late write back, I went to pee dear. Yes i am but, i am having problems with my friend now, i told you already.
I have seen a the area, but still searching for a good land to choose.

just make sure it is the right thing to do. It must be an expensive thing to do.

Quote:

I made inquiry and it is quite expensive. I have but not all, well it depends dear.
But i am a keen person.

You can't go into something without having all the finance in place. Surely that is the first thing you need to do. You need to pay for plans etc...
I'm not sure being 'keen' will do. But .. here I am telling a renowned engineer. I am sure you have done it many times before.

Quote:

You know i don't have my money in here in Malaysia. i only came with few money in my credit card. so i want to secure a good site first then i return, then get prepared to come back here to start the whole thing.
Yes I have done this before, but not for my own investment.

Honestly ! Credit Card ! Now that is stupid. You get investors. I thought you were a savvy businessman !
What do you mean my money in Malaysia? Surely you have money in the bank which you can get anywhere in the world.

Quote:

Don't get me wrong, i didn't come to Malaysia here with my master card. that's the reason i have to go home before i begin.I had to leave my master card behind for the up keep of my sick mum and my little daughter and my cousin who is taking care of them. my credit card is for feeding transport and all that. I will get some money from over there. that won't be a problem for now.

Oh what a sweatie ! Caring man
I think the amount you need for a project is compeltely different from leaving a credit card for upkeep of anyone. I am shocked. You come over as a wealthy businessman. Maybe you aren't which is why you will be better of working for someone else.

Quote:

I told you i never wanted to invest here. i came here for this contract. but seeing that there is more to gain, that was when i started making up my decision. though it something big to do. I know i have 80% amount of the project i want to embark on this journey. i will tell you still.
It's $400,000

That is a huge amount of money. You still need to raise $400,000? Yes well. I am sure you must know how to get it covered.
I look forward to hearing of your success. However, your family should not be put in jeopardy because you want to do a project.

Quote:

Yes i will try best. and won't start if i fore see that i will not finish.

That is good because they come first. You can't do anything that may reflect badly on their care. Maybe after your mother has died and is no longer sick, and your child is grown up and away you can do more for yourself.

Quote:

you are right my dear. thank you so much.
Oh my dear, it's 10:45 pm here, and i will be going to bed now because i have to map out something that must be done tomorrow. hope you don't mind?

Of course I don't mind dearest. You go and have a good sleep.

So off he went again. He isn't prolific really. Building up to the money ask soon ! Now.. how much will he ask for. I'd love him to ask for he lot but we'll see ! He has it all costed out but hasn't got the land or anything else. Oh you have to admire how one man, all on his own, decides on a huge project and then just puts it on his credit card ! He's my kind of man !
