odd day
WEEEEEiiiiRRRDDDD
The title speaks for itself. I have encountered some TRULY bizarre incidents today.
Well, after luncheon with the church peeps, I decided to flee to the Times book clearance. HAH! Bet you have a shockingly excited facial expression, thinking, "Book clearance?? Where?? How?? Who??" Nyeh nyeh nyeh................or not. ANYWAY, as I was saying.....Book sale. Yeah. I spent about 4 hours there, unconsciously. Well, you should see the amount of piled, jumbled-all-over, random random books thrown all around at that place. It was crazy. People around you will SOMEHOW or rather keep an eye on the book you are holding, and at the VERY moment you put it down, those people GRABS your book and see what's it all about that makes it so worthy of your attention. Kiasu betul...I finally gotten Frank McCourt's Teacher Man!!! *Shouts for joy* One book crossed off my wanted-for-century-booklist! Yipppeee.
Hmmm yes. After splurging at the book yard, as I was walking towards my car, I heard the echoes of some good ole Chinese oldies coming from the ledge on my right. I didn't really bother at first, assuming that it was some Chinese security guard uncle listening to his radio. As I gotten into my car, while putting on my seatbelt, I glance through that ledge. And my God. It was a Singh! A Singh uncle, holding up the radio near his ear (Well, I am not going to elaborate why), appreciating some of our Chinese music! Woohoo! Hidup semangat Malaysia!
Yup yup.
Driving back to my home was madness; there was traffic congestion from PJ all the way to the LDP highway. I was a little groggy and the hot sun was literally barbecuing me alive. So I was just driving along right....And from one of my side mirrors, I glimpse a red Avanza going in between 2 lanes. Then it overtook the car on its right and came parallel to mine. I turned and look over to see how the nutty driver looked like. And AHHH! One whole Indian family (I REALLY don't mean to be racist or any sort k) in the van stared and smiled at me. All of them started moving their lips to mumble something or rather after smiling. They looked like they were re-enacting the freaky Money Money Money video by ABBA. *Shivers* It was.....SOoOo WEIRD....I've got goose bumps at that time alright...
