slowly, or if you would like to say; at a turtle's crawling speed, i pulled into the parking lot, making sure there's enough space for 3 people walking in a row at once on both sides of the car. yes, i took up two parking spaces. i'm just doing every driver a good deed by occupying two spaces so that none of their cars would be victimized by me.
my dad asked me to buy rm30 reload card for him so i went to the digi store before going to the bookstore. i never knew that digi gave discounts for reload cards. it was sold there for only rm29.50. any digi subcribers who want to save 50 cents, you are welcomed to drive all the way here to semarak. and on the way, make sure you remember to fetch me from my house for
lim teh.
anyways, i proceeded to the bookstore afterthat and explained to the photocopy girl about the JPA stuffs that i want to photostate before i went browsing for stationaries. i was walking in between one of the rows of shelves when i met the tauke-neo of the bookstore.
"miss chong!" she greeted me in delight. perhaps because i've brought a lot of business to her shop all these years. (actually, my dad knew her)
and from that small greeting of hers, there start the lengthy conversations.
my mandarin has improved i must say. yes, she spoke to me in mandarin for the whole while. i was down with flu at that time and had to figure out what she was saying with my already exhausted brain. she finally finished intergorrating me and left to do her work.
i met her again, just standing by the photocopy machine where my documents were lying on top. and we talked somemore.
it was perhaps the longest trip to the bookstore i've ever had.
drove home in a shorter time than when i drove there.
am still sick with flu. perhaps i should pull off my pranks one of these days. find some people with masks on and purposely sneeze within a one metre radius of them. then standby and watch their reactions...
i think i would better not. who knows if they might become too paranoid and decided to strap me to a bed before carting me away to the general hospital to be quarantined for suspected H1N1 case.
