When U Think Of Q, U Think Of Singaporeans
After having had the train to bore me triumphantly to a dawn arrival at Johor Bharu @ 6.09a.m this morning, I was completely drained. The train was shaking, ppl were talking in some weird language, a couple was makin’ out on the deck across of mine with curtains wide opened, the P.A. system was full of cobwebs as the sound that came through was crackling like mad, the announcer was so dumb he didn’t know every human on that train has hearing ability and didn’t even know the PA system was working, he tapped the microphone for about a billionth times and repeated TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST a quintillionth times, it was so fudging annoying that some hibernating homo sapiens sounded like there were gonna rip the train apart.
Once I reached the Lion City, I was offered a ride but I declined as I had lotsa time to waste till I can start havin butterflies n some other insects flying in my stomach for tmr’s "event". Since I haven’t really Queued up in a long time, I decided to join the "fun" in waiting for taxis. It was a tad boring as there were no leng zais to see, i began to regret declining the offer and almost called up someone to get me. But I didn’t. Then there’s this restless guy standing bhind me, he’s totally like ah beng - with dark skin and golden bright blonde highlight, eeew! When he picked up his phone to tell his boss he’s gonna b late, I knew I was right, he talked like ah beng too. Since he’s just right bhind me, I couldn’t help overhearing his calls. He called up his workmates n sorta begged them in a very ah beng way to call a cab for him, but from the sound of it, nobody cared.
So, he acted like nothing happened, started humming n singing away, eew! It was … ew. He was really getting agitated n restless as he was counting in hokkien yit, ji, sa, si ……chap si! aw shiiiii…! one person went into the cab and he started counting again in mandarin, yi er san si …. shi san? grrrrrrrr. I was already so dead tired and this retarded guy was just right behind me, I felt like giving him a tight slap! After 30 mins or so, our Q bcame shorter, oni a few persons away, then we all saw 2 Indon looking guys appeared out of nowhere, cut the Q, tried to hail for the next taxi. Nobody dared utter a word, they looked pretty ganas. Then suddenly the ah beng shouted WWWWA……LANNNN EH!! EHH EEEEEYYYY! YOU! YOUUU! U! TURN BY TURN!! the guys acted dumb, but the ah beng didn’t stop, he continued shouting until the taxi driver told them to Q up. I was worried that I might become deaf.
Suddenly the Indon guys turned n stared straight at the ah beng, like a tiger would when it sees a yummylicious prey. I turned cold. But God was on our side, there were patrol police carrying guns walking around there so those guys disappeared without a trace. When the cab finally came for me, I was completely relieved.
