~HARi InI hArI RaYA~
14-NOveMbEr-2004
Today the whole family woke up late at 11am.... cos the nite before we went back to 'kampung' for tahlil and came back at 2.30 in the morning.... Because of this none of us go for hari raya prayer.... Then we get ready to go to my grandparents house... Its already 1.30pm. We thought that our family will be the latest or the only one to be there...
But to our surprise all my aunt and uncle and cuzin are there except for two family... My older uncle's family have work ( on Hari RaYa!!) while my other uncle's family came in the morning....Soon after that we leave to go to my uncle's house (my father brother).... Well we went from all the way from Bedok to Chua Chu Kang... that a long journey....
Anyway the journey was interesting.... we took a straight bus... 67 in fact.... along the way there was a drunk chinese man boarded the bus...My family was sitted at the back of the bus watching the scenario unfold...He was making his way through the crowded bus.... There is no need for him to push through as people make a passage way for him as he reeks with alcohol....
Really at first sweet smell of grape wafted in the air... But as he gets nearer the smell gets stronger and it STINKS!!....As he staggering his way... he ask people to give the seat to...all of the terrified passenger ask him to go away... It was a pitiful sight....He holding 2 bottle of beer and a plain water.... as no one offer the seat he lean against the handle chair...
Ah! the lady who was sitting on the chair didn't dare to lean... with so much discomfort spell across her face, she turn around for her for help... ATlast a kind soul gives his seat for the drunk man....the lady turn to her fren and said something... but her hand gesture indicate that the drunk man stink... Back to the drunk man... he is so drunk that he sit on an imaginary chair.... that right, he fell.... he wanted to sit but miss the chair .... Cos he is too drunk he didn't bother to stand up.... But i think he is sleeping....
THe man who offered his seat went to help out and so was the man who was sitting beside him.... But in my opinion he doesn't want to sit next to the drunk man.... that why he help an stand up after that. and so the drunk man gets to sit with an empty chair next to him.... But that not the end of the story.... As the journey goes he create no trouble....Because he is sleeping....
But as our destination drew nearerhe did something that create discomfort for the passenger that sit behind him.... He sleep on two chair thats fine with me but it isn't fine when he lift up his leg and block the way.... HE supported his feat on to the handle.... imagine how stinky it must be cos the lady who seat there move to the back....
Anyway as no one going to leave Yet, no one said anything....But soon an Indian lady wanted to leave but his leg block the way.... Maybe she was thinking wheather to go under or over his leg... But the bus driver came over an woke the man up.... The driver was having difficulty to ask him to sit straight... After a while he sit properly... Remember i said that he was holding two bottle of beer... well it fell and roll to the door...
The driver kick to bottle out.... then the driver went back and continue the journey.... the drunk man stand up and went to the door, i think he was trying to find his bottles... then he went back to his seat and sleep in the same positon which was laying down.... We already at teck whye and alighting soon....when our stop arrive my father woke the man up and ask him to go home...
Telling him that he is a nuisance to the society... I don't think he even understand (my father spoke to him in malay)... Anyway i pass through with no hassle but can't say that for my mother.... when her turn come the man start to lift his leg... hehehe.... don't know what she did cos i have already alighted.... That the last of the drunk man on bus 67....At my uncle house, my fav cuzin was there...
She werking as a make up artist.... just doing a make over for a person can cost $300... Wow that EXpensive... But this including buying the product... Then she did a make over for me and my sis... Its Superb!! But too bad we have to remove it when we gets home....Then after that we went to my aunt house at Bukit Panjang.... My old neighbourhood.... a while until dinner is serve... after that we went home....
