This morning, I walked to order 1 roti canai and 2 thosai and to buy Sunday papers, The Star and New Straits Times; then on my way back to collect the breakfast for home.
On my short journey to town: I heard someone honked and looked back and saw a smiling traffic policeman, Mat Nor and I waved. As I walked back from the newsvendor, a car I recognized as that of Lung Fatt coffee-shop proprietor's, honked and I acknowledged. Then, in front of Salon photoshop, I saw a motorbike with a gas tank and who but a smiling Suhaimi on it (he was my wife's ex-classmate), again I said hello. I was counting my lucky stars when I walked past the old railway station and again someone honked, and it turned out to be the cushion-maker who recently replaced our car's windscreen. Not bad for a migrant from KL.
You are a natural for making friends, KS. That's what you are!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bayi for your compliment and I don't think I deserve it.
ReplyDeleteActually, very moody person, especially of late... some calls it men'o'pause.
Couple of days ago, a UK friend wanted to chat when I was online and I actually declined! But my reason was avoiding telling too much after each 'cross-examination'. Family members wondered why someone in UK knows so much about what was happening here!
So my behaviour tends to vary, depending on how I feel at each moment...
A man is men'o'pausal insofar as he allows himself to be so. I think you had a good reason not to chat with your UK friend online. I have a similar situation and so I have chosen to be less active online these days.
