AhKowKiaafter having had enough of the noisy city life, moves to the peaceful and quiet remote countryside. His new neighbor, SaiFoo,the farmer pays him a visit and invites him to a party that night.
SaiFoo: Braader, you sure you can drink or not? There’s going to be a lot of ‘yamseng’ there one..you know.
AhKowKia: Don’t worry La… I used to go pub gallivanting a lot in the city with my colleagues after work..
SaiFoo:Orso have to warn you.. After so much drinking, things can go rough and sometimes there may be fighting too.
AhKowKia:Don’t worry, I’m the non-violent, non-lansi friendly type.. I don’t normally offend people and can get along with anyone easily la.
SaiFoo:Okay, good! ….don’t say I didn’t warn you…usually party ends up so wild …..got a lot of SEX too.
AhKowKia:Wow! It’s fine with me. By the way, what should I wear? I haven't actually unpack my clothes yet.. tee shirt can ar?
SaiFoo:It doesn’t matter la! Wear anything orso nevermind ..It’s going to beJust the two of us only jer maaa....
The animal Kingdom is looking for the most feared leader to rule as the new King of the Jungle 2009….
An elephant, a lion and a pig are contending for the post.
Lion: Look here kawan kawan, for centuries it has always been written - Lion, the King of the jungle!. Lion is king and king is Lion… and nothing else because when a lion like me roars, the whole jungle freezes in fear!
Elephant: Pooordah dei! When you roar yev'ryone freezes only, but when I trumpet, yev'ryone in the jungle has to make way for me laa! Scared or not... huh?
Pig: Cheh!!! Like that only mehhhh? I never bluff you one…I just need to sneeze and cough lightly nia, not only the jungle kingdom but the whole planet has to live in fear oledi!
As I look at the bursting wardrobe drawers cramped with all sorts of colorful Tee-shirts now, my mind wanders back to those ‘emergency mornings’ of Charles’s secondary schooldays, when he had to rush like a Bomba engine ...and also screaming like one, looking for a particular T-shirt for a particular activity in school that day.
It was either “Chamm liao la! Where‘s my WUSHU Tee?” or “My Editorial Board Teehai peen toh leh?” or “Sei Lor..can’t find my House color-Teelaa!!” depending on which day of the week but all the same, this slugabed-dad had to cut short sleep to help search for that particular elusive T-shirt he needed to survive another day in school!
Ya..I know, I know.. It’s cool to wear a Slogan Tee-shirt these days that practically screams aloud your stand and beliefs or identify your association with certain clubs or a particular group of people sharing a common cause. But come to think of it, do we really need to spend so much dough unnecessarily on all sorts of loud slogan Tees that sometimes make us look like a ‘walking Advert’ or even a ‘walking billboard’? (that's when your body goes 'panoramic' in shape!)
Niamah! Can’t we make life less complicated and easier to go by with just a ‘generic’ Teethat can be worn for all activities? One that can make us blend into or associate with, any group on any occasion, anytime, any day and anywhere. (same reason why I only buy totallyblack ortotally white plain socks to avoid going nuts looking for the missing matching socks.. Smart leh? hehehe!)
Perhaps, something like this “I’M WITH THEM” Tee-shirt should just do the trick....
It does not matter whether the crowd is wearing “I’m with.. errrrrRPK, ...PKR, ...KPR(Kay Po Residents?) or some saintly “Wholly Holy’ church group Tee. With this generic 'all occasions' tee, one can easily blend in instantly just for a good cam-whoring session with your camera-phone like this!.....
Same goes with those ‘anti-whatever’ candlelight vigils… you may want to snap a good pic just so that some day your grandchildren actually believe grandpa was so ‘geng’ once! But then again you may need to be discreet and prudent with your choice of association … the question ofwhether “Ada permit” or “Talak Permit mia, 123 Tangkap!” gathering..Otherwise, someday when your grandchildren look at that pic of you getting invited for 'free stay and breakfast' by some 'too affectionately embracing'fellow countrymen in blue, they'll go, “SWEAT-LAH!! Grandpa YOU!...WITH THEM some more!”
Maybe I was a little more curios and imaginative than my peers back then as a kid ..and somehow I always thought adults, especially my primary school teachers were not telling the truths or at least not telling us all of the whole story.. including the real ending to the tales and stories.
THE TABLETS
For instance, I was always wondering and asking my Sunday schoolteacher why Moses were given two tablets instead of just one?
Why couldn't the commandments be written on the both sides of one tablet like we do with the pages of our exercise book? ... or, was there anything else already written at the back ofthe tablets that they didn't tell us?(* Just typical of an inquisitive mind of a very blur-sotong kid back then..)
.... Maybe something like this?
Hmmm... that probably explains a lot about the mess the world is in these days!LOL!
ROBIN'sMERRYMEN
As for the legend of ROBINHOODand hisMERRYMEN.. Armed with only the experience of robbing and probably merrymaking in the forest, I was wondering what did they do for a living when ROBINHOOD finallydisbanded his Sherwood gang? Did they continue robbing people on their own or started some business?
Like ....Friar Tuck operating a Tuckshop?
or Little John running a Little John(Children's toilet)Accessories Shop?
RAPUNZEL
and that story of the pretty fraulien who was imprisoned in a tower with no stairs by a witch just because her 'thum-chiak(greedy)' parents were caught stealing the witch's vegetables, Rapunzel...
I think just having the password, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair, so that I may climb the golden stair" alone was not exactly secure and safe for a home-alone girl..
Being a smart girl, she probably would have braided one side of her hair for her good looking boyflen prince to climb and left the other half unkempt and unwashed for those unwelcome '5354' gate-crashers! hahahaha!
