ahhh.... nice

not many calls today..... i can't say none.... cause there was.. but not as freaking many as the last 3 weeks!

so i've been catching up with my blog reading... really left behind... got more to read...

a n y w a y.......

one night... i went to the bank at Green Lane and at the ATM machine, some guy with a foreign accent.. from the land of english ppl... asked if i spoke english... so.. fine.. after i did my transaction i came out to him to ask what he wanted... he showed me his Affin Bank book and asked if i knew where the bank is.... i saw and it was in Negri Sembilan!! wrong state man!... then he said that he was living overseas for 11 years... and now he's back... he said his mum lives there (in N.9).... i asked him if that's the case, why come to penang? he said missionary work (it seems.....) oh well... then he showed me an address.... Pitt Street... i said that was in town.. need to take bus (it was 10pm at that moment)... then he was blabbing about he don't know how to get there... and wanted at least RM20 to get around and get food till the bank opens in the morning..... i don't see any truth in all that crap except the accent part....

i mean

1- why didn't u go straight to N9 to see his mother AND get some cash?

2- why come to Penang for MISSIONARY work without any cash?

3- if u can afford a CIGGARETTE, i'm sure u could afford to take the local bus to town

4- i offered bus money... didn't want to take.... duhh.. u ask for help, take all that u can get la... why so fussy?

5- told him there was a bus stop around the corner, wasn't interested to take a walk to explore

sheesh...

he knew i wasn't ready to give him RM20.. tht's alot man.. i'm like counting my own pennies (i mean money la).. i can't just simply give RM20 to some fella with a sod story... he might just be a con man! asking RM20 from everyone who goes in that ATM booth!!!

call me stingy or cruel for not helping him, but if my AUSTRALIAN cousin can walk from where i found this stranger to KOMTAR... he can... if only he was willing to ASK ppl for directions and try walking ....

sigh... in the beginning i felt bad for him, i thought of giving him my leftover bun or something... but then again.. well.. if u're not willing taking a few bucks from me in stead of RM20.... i don't think u'll want my bun!

i just went home after that....
