RM100 "Soul-out"

Bad hair day!

In year 2007 before I left Malaysia to Sheffield, I experienced a 'terri-gible' incident with a durian trader at street, today I faced the same to a 'un-known' no balls uncle. It was really irritated to meet this kind of people. I would not say it is an argument, because there is no 'points' at all to argue, they distorted the truth and created new story.

I went to 'cheng beng' (so called remembrance of passed away relatives at grave yard for Chinese) with my mom. I accompanied my mom to go, not because I am joining them to 'worship' the people who died and buried there. But my mom wanted to go and I would go and take care of her. We care for people who is still alive, do not focus on people who died!

I told my mom we got to hurry and finish it early in the morning. My mom is old, she walks slowly and she like to touch here and there. So we went up to the hill around 7.15am. There was quite crowded yet I still managed to drive in to up hill and park my car quite near to my grandma's grave yard. For me, I would rather park far outside and walk inside because the 'road' is narrow, wet and swam. When we finished and about to leave, there are two cars, one parked behind my car and another one right back, and my left is blocked. So I asked the person who just about to leave his car from right back to move his car away so that I can leave. But he insisted to help me to guide me, to drive out the car between the narrow path. So since they would want to guide me, so I took the offer and listen to his instruction. Too bad! When they asked me to drive near to the car near left to me, and asked me to drive backward, they said ok to drive backward, yet he forgot to help me to see my front car which was so near to the left car. Here it happened! I walked of the car and asked the guy to help to drive instead of giving 'kind' instructions. The guy said 'ok, but wait for me to put my things and I will be back'. He left...

The owner of the car that my car scratched, walked near to us and ...well, you know. They wanted compensation in terms of cash. I really did not know whether the scratches on his car, is new or old. So I just making a statement, "But I am not sure whether is this new or old!" "Can I pay you RM50 rather than RM100?" These were the questions I threw to the owner of the car.

When we were still bargaining for the compensation, suddenly there was a 'uncle' walked passing besides me and said "if you would pay for RM50 better dont pay". Well, I took the 'advice' and answered him, "oh ok, then dont pay then." and sat back into my car about to leave. But suddenly that 'uncle' scolded us not giving money, swore and cursed, and spoke 'bad' words to my mom and I. We was like "what?"... My mom scolded him back for his faulty words, and he scolded even more faulty words and swore to the sky. Gosh... and he said he wanted to use his car to bang my car and did some kind of posture to kick my car. I was like, is he so called 'Malaysian'? 'Chinese'? 'Civilised'? 'Aging uncle'? Poor him ... shamed on him. He started to say we didn't want to pay the compensation and argued that we did not do that scratches. People surrounding all sided to him and asked us to pay. Most of them are his relatives and friends, if not mistaken. But anyway, he is really ... I could not described or named this creature of the earth. I find no words to name 'it'. Adam named all the animals on this earth, but I really not sure whether is 'it' included.

There was no point of arguing with them, because they were all uncivilised. I asked the owner of the car, "is he your friend?" The owner of the car didnt say anything, is he or is he not? Or even worst, we all did not know him. Where did he burst out from? I paid to the owner of the car, and I said loudly "Sorry yah, pai seh yah!" to the owner. When I about to leave the area, I turned back to the crowd and said 'Sorry yah everyone, if anything offended!" No point of arguing, I would rather use 'apologise' to slap their faces... and sadly, I bought their souls and pride with two pieces of RM50- RM100. What the earth!!!

What are those creatures? One day, they will definitely have to face what they had done on this earth in front of God, every scene will re-play in front of them and before God. How would they face it and feel? Will they ever realise what they have done?

On the way out of the hill, I told my mom. They lost the balance/standard of good and bad, right and wrong. "Do you know how good is good, and how bad is bad? What right is considered right, and what wrong is considered wrong?" "I dont know" "It was all written in the Bible. But people just ignored it and turned away from the truth."

Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.~ Romans 12:17-21

"God, please forgive them, for what they had done, they didn't know..."
