the waiter cried

as i was having my birthday dinner.
after a long days work.
all i wanted was to have nice quiet dinner.

but the supervisor was bossing the workers serving my table.
at a nice western restaurant, most of the workers are India Indians.

one of them got called aside and my fren overheard the conversations.
he was being lectured.

whn i came bk from the ladies, i saw the worker who just got lectured secretly complaining to his follow colleague about the matter.
i saw him slip a folded tissue into his pocket.
he was crying.

i felt bad.
it must take a lot for a grown man to cry.

yes i know we've all had our fair share of dealing with foreign workers
generally they are slower, timid & has not much sense of resolving a problem once the ball has been thrown to them.
but cant we just put ourselves in their shoes.
i dont think its that easy to leave ur family all for the sake of RM600 per mth.

on my way out, my eyes were constantly searching for the guy.
i know how it sucks to be have a fucked up day at work.

i tipped him.
i hope that make his nite.

i guess he must be confused too.
within an hour his luck has changed so fast.

my birthday wish

As i was walking along the corridor of a mall,
a kakak who jaga gerai kat situ was busy digging her teeth with her finger.
it was gross. but...suddenly i wish i was her.

she dint care about wat others thought about her.
she dint need to conform.
she couldnt care less.
& her free n easy job made me envy her.

many wish to be successful & have famous ppl as idols
but me? i wish i could be like her.
just jaga stall set at shopping mall's corridor.
takya pakai otak sgt.
fav pass time is observing ppl & time2 free je boleh korek gigi

that might keep me more sane.

a song for us

Jgn mengalah. Jgn putus asa.

Hidup ni akan terjawap akhirnya....akan bercahaya....akan berjaya.....akan bahagia.

Johor state anthem

Allah peliharakan Sultan
'Nugrahkan dia segala kehormatan
Sihat dan ria, kekal dan makmur
Luaskan kuasa, menaungkan kami
Rakyat dipimpini berzaman lagi
Dengan Merdeka bersatu hati
Allah berkati Johor
Allah selamatkan Sultan


Now, should non muslims in Johor sing this anthem?

seriously, im quite affected with this whole firebombing church frasco.
im not sure what is causing me to be so affected.
is it because i've lost my faith in Malaysia, Malaysian & its politics?

which is more hurtful?

introducing thy neighbours

i live in an aprtment whr doors are tightly locked.
its 1 of those apartments that you would rather sweat to death on a hot afternoon
thn leave your door open n allow ur neighbours to have a glimpse of ur little comfort zone.

so, obviously i dont know my neighbours.
i dont know who lives on d right, or the left or even opposite of me.

1 fine day, as i was walking along the corridor.
My NEIGHBOUR comes running towards me.
the young chinese father & son seem to be in a hurry.
the father looks like he was gonna burst out in laughter anytime soon.
the son, a thin fair boy, trailing behind, an agonizing pain in his face.

father: YOU HANG ON TO IT!!
son: HOW?!!
father: WAT HOW? *chuckles YOU HANG ON TO IT!!
son: CANNOT!! DROP ALREADY!!

i can hear keys fumbling behind me & the kid was walking wf his legs crossed.
there wasnt anything in his hand. wat had dropped? i wondered.

father: WAT DROP ALREADY!?! U HANG ON LA!!
Son: DROP ALREADYYYYYYYYYY...............

the son looked like he was gonna cry anytime soon.
he was walking like a squid...lembik...with both hands open & dangling in the air.

i wonder...did he just dropped his ice-cream? or maybe its chocolates?
thn a stench hit me in the face..
little brown droplets of poo on the floor...
argh...now it links.....

ps: they live across me house.
