when looks can be deceiving

noticed ppl get their tempers flared easily when they're on d road? who wouldnt with some inconsiderate drivers on d road eh? i do get angry sometimes. when ppl cut q, i think that's no 1 in my list of 'things i hate when im on d road.' i mean, others can queue up but why cant u? is ur time slightly more important than mine? i think not. unless of course ur wife is bout to deliver. but....there's an exception. i'll never get angry at taxi drivers. noticed how they would stop all of a sudden without any indication to pick up passengers, and how they would get back to d main road, again, without any indication? they expect us to read their minds. but that's ok with me. so far, i have been able to keep my temper when they do that. they're juz trying to earn a living. seriously, i have a soft spot for them. especially when i see pakcik2 with skullcaps and thick glasses. they should stay at home and rest. but i guess they need to earn a living. and that's why it pisses me off when i hear ppl complaining bout not being able to find jobs or in other words, lazy. my reasoning is simple, even d disabled can find jobs. why? coz they WANT to work.

let's have a laugh then. there's this one uncle at my mum's place, quite old, but very friendly. he strolls in d morning, evening, even at nite. so everytime we see him, he never fails to say good morning, good evening or hello. so we assume he could speak english. so one day, when we were bout to go out, he passed by. i said, hello uncle. have u eaten? he stopped and smiled. so i thot, maybe he didnt get what i was saying. so i rephrased, uncle, sudah makan? he smiled again. finally, after a few seconds, he said, english taktau, melayu pun taktau. tau cina. so i laughed with him, saying takpe, takpe. then off we went. fast forward a few weeks, my mum was taking a stroll with one of her neighbours, a french lady. so when they bumped into that uncle, my mum said hello. the uncle stopped. to talk to the french lady. n my, my...he conversed with that lady, in french. as in berabuk gile okay. so there u go. do not, i repeat, do not underestimate that uncle or anybody, for that matter.
