Went to watch The Mummy:Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor today with Lekavathee. I didn't expect the movie to end so fast. Was kinda disappointed in a way. After whacking Char Koay Teow, headed to Secret Recipe. Whacked Chocolate Strawberry Cake which looked damn appetissing on the display but when I ate it, the cake was very dry(VERY VERY dry). We then took a bus to Komtar. Highlight of the day starts here:
Was standing in the bus as there were no vacant seat till a man in his 50s or so stood up and allowed Lekavathee to sit. I thought he was about to get down that he offered his seat to her. Instead, this man just stood there without getting off the bus. Then he started his conversation with Lekavathee which then I realise he was DRUNK as I could smell Carlsberg on him:
The Man(patting Leka's head): You'll go far, miss. I gave you my seat, so you'll definitely go far in life.
The Man to Me : Miss, you don't mind her sitting here right?
Me : No
The Man to Leka : You're a good girl. You'll go far in life. You'll be a lawyer or doctor.
Lekavathee just smiled. Then he kept repeating about how Lekavathee will go far in life being a doctor or lawyer. Alternately he kept asking me wether I mind him talking. Honestly, I was pretty annoyed he was drunk and he stink like crap but I can't be triggering him by saying anything nasty as I was in a public bus.
The Man to Lekavathee(pointing towards Me) : Is she your mother?
Lekavathee: My sister!!
The Man: Ohh, I see. Are you studying, miss?
Lekavathee: Yes
The Man : Good girl. Study hard. You'll go far in life. I have confidence in you.
Lekavathee : Yes
This Man kept repeating the same bloody thing and the drama was watched by almost the whole entire bus passangers, particularly a Saudi Arabian guy and a Malay-looking lady in the front seat. How I wish I was invisible!! The Saudi Arabian guy was practically nodding and smilling for everything The Man said and he kept looking at Lekavathee.
The Man: Next time I'll see you in this bus again. I'm sure you'll do well. We will meet again.
Which I actually thought he's gonna get the hell out of the freaking bus but he didn't. He kept talking about the same shit again and again till :
The Man to Me: Miss, you don't mind me giving something to your sister?
Me: No thank you!
The Man: No no..this is from me. I have to give...
Me: No thank you
The Malay-Looking Lady: You better watch out for your sister!
Which just in time the driver hit the emergency break and The Man practically leaned towards the side of the bus,blocking me from Lekavathee while he took out his wallet. When I caught a sight of Lekavathee's, she looked freaking pale and frightened. I saw the relieved face when she saw me keeping an eye on her. The man took out 10bux and passed it to my sister which she declined but he insisted.
Lekavathee: Thank you, uncle.
The Man : You're welcome. You're a very nice girl. Your sister is like my daugther. You're like my grandchild.
The Man to Me : Miss I hope you don't mind. We should do good to people. Then good things will happen to us. I almost died 4 times in my life. I've worked as a security guard and I've got stabbed about 4 times but I'm still alive. I do good deed to people like this. That's why I'm still alive.
What have I got to say? I just freaking gave him a smile and looked away. I just don't get the point why he gave that 10bux for. Meanwhile he asked for Lekavathee's name.
The Man: How old are you,miss??
Lekavathee : 13
The Man: Oh my god! You look like an 8 year old!! She look so young. Very good child. You'll go far. Study hard!
And the Saudi Arabian guy gave some weird reaction which I have no idea what it's suppose to mean. And this Man started telling the Saudi Arabian guy about him being stabbed 4 times, which I really thought he will leave me and Lekavathee in peace but he didn't. He started again with his crap and I was really getting annoyed and my facial expression was pretty much obvious.
The Man: Is that money enough for you?
Lekavathee: Yes yes!!
The Man: No, no. I don't think it's enough. Next time I see you, you'll be better. So I'll give you 50bux.
Lekavathee just nodded.
The Man: How many friends do you have?
Lekavathee: 4
The Man: No no! It's not enough!! And he took his wallet again.
Me: It's okay uncle. Nevermind. No thank you.
The Man : No no! She's a good child. She deserves it.
While I was telling NO to that drunkard, the Saudi Arabian guy took 10bux from his wallet and gave Lekavathee and this was then followed by The Man. So, there you go, there's 2 freaks of nature doing some charity in the bus for God knows what reason. I was so freaking annoyed and went ...
Me : What is this?? This is so ridiculous!! Can you people just stop it??
Saudi Arabian Guy: No no. She's a good kid.
Me: So ridiculous.
The Man shook hands with the Arabian guy and told Lekavathee : See, I gave you 10bux. This young man gave you another 10bux. It's all good deed. Once you do good to people, you'll always get good things.
The Man to Me : Miss, are you angry??
Me: No.It's okay.
So, Lekavathee made 30bux out of just answering the drunken man's questions. The man kept asking wether I was angry which I really felt like telling him to just shut the fuck up. I guess he got the idea that I was freaking annoyed.
The Man: I can see you are angry. I don't want you to scold me.
The Man to Lekavathee: You must remember me. I'm Mr.Amir. I'm a Muslim.You're a Hindu. But we must help each other.
He kept shaking hands with the Saudi Arabian guy and my sister for God knows what reason. I had a glance at a Malay lady and she gave me a smile and shook her head. I guess she gets the point that I'm so freaking annoyed with the drunken man and his charity act.
The Man: Which school are you in??
Lekavathee: Sri Mutiara
The Man to Me: Where is the school?
Me: In town
The Man: Where In Town?? You must tell me specificly you see...
Me : In town
The Man: So, you are suspicious of me... you are angry...
I totally ignored him. And he kept mumbling to himself.
The Man to Lekavathee: Where is your father working??
Lekavathee: .....
Me: Factory..Bosch
It's a lie anyway. I coudn't think of anything. Just crapped it out of annoyance.
The Man: Are you married?
Me with the fucking annoyed face: No!
The Man : Okay.. okay... Don't get angry...
He shook hand again with Lekavathee and the Saudi Arabian guy and said to Me : I cant shake hand with you.You're not married.
He's talking as if I was dying to shake hand with him. Sheeesh!
The Man to Me: I lost all my family members. I'm all alone.
Me: Okay
"I'm not surprised" - That's what I thought to myself. And all the while he spoke good command of English. And he had this smile of self satisfaction on his face. He kept talking about meeting again in the same bus sooner or later which I totally ignored. Finally the freaking bus reached Komtar.
The Man: I'm getting off now. See you! You're angry...
I totally ignored him.
Me to the Saudi Arabian guy : I don't know why you gave the money. It's really unnecessary.
Saudi Arabian Guy: No no! She's like my sister. Her face.Like my little sister. It's okay...
Me: Okay...Thank you...
Lekavathee: Thank you...
The Malay Looking lady looked up to me and smile.
Me pointing towards Lekavathee(laughing): She just made 30 bux without doing anything.
Malay Looking Lady : Hahahaha
Finally The Man left. I was so worried he'd be stalking us till we get onto another bus. Thank God he left. Phewwwww! The relief look on Lekavathee's face was so priceless! Hahaha! I'm still puzzled about the whole incident!
