新年快乐! 恭喜发财! 事事顺利!I'm back to Singapore! Today is 初二. Well, I think the Malaysia custom is rather stupid if you have been to Malaysia recently through the woodlands checkpoint you will know why. It is twists and turns taking a huge detour before you can reach the Malaysia's checkpoint! Conclusion is Malaysia have too much land for infrastructure and accessities, but I guess that the route is only for temporary. Anyway, lets start with the eve of lunar new year. I was off duty from work at 2am. And was happily thinking about my plans once I reached home and we will be heading to Malaysia. Then I heard from Louis that he hasn't got any train or bus ticket back home yet. I was thinking that poor child, during this joyous festive period, it will be a pity that he took so many days of leave and yet couldn't go back home for reunion dinner with his family. So, while I was on the transport home, I suddenly thought of my relatives who will always drives to KL after having reunion dinner with us every year to visit their relatives at KL. They could actually gives Louis a ride as this is 举手之劳! So, when I reached home, I asked my father who is still sleeping if he could asked my uncle to let Louis take 顺风车. My papa is sleeping, so I asked him in his sleep.Me: Papa, my friend didn't manage to get a ticket home for reunion dinner, uncle can give him a ride?Papa: Orh, I will ask them.Me: Why not ask now?Papa: It is in the middle of the night, lets not disturb people in their sleep. Tell your friend uncle is not going back.My papa is asking me to lie! Besides, I haven't even offer Louis the solution yet. Because I cannot 给人家一点希望, 又让他失望. <--Another thing I have learnt recently. So, maybe I shouldn't talk to anyone when they are sleeping, they weren't in the mood to reply you or talk nicely. Me: 没关系, 我没有告诉我朋友叔叔有回, 只是这是可以做到的事, 而且叔叔顺路, 可以帮到的.Then I walk away. I know that my father is now lying there wide awake. My papa loves helping people, I know he is now feeling guilty that he didn't want to help just now. But I can also understand my papa's difficulty. It might be troublesome for my uncle plus he is a stranger to my papa and uncle. Cannot trust strangers easily. But people, wouldn't it be a tiring world if the world is full of suspicion? And everyone, 助人为乐, didn't we learn this in primary school? I will blog again soon as I am now going to play mahjong with my sisters and my sis-in-law~~12.40 Tuesday27January2009
