Friendly people exist!!!

I just got back from a road trip to Melbourne, We drove up, some sort of a last minute decision, kinda fun. I was cruzing around some of the oo-loo places of the Victoria State, then I drove into a F*&%ing ditch, (surprise surprise, I am a lousy driver) I tried to get out of it but the rear wheel was in the mud, I tried to push while my partner took the wheel, and what happened? no prize for the correct answer, ya ya, it couldn't move. Initially, passer by (no good in spelling too) asked if I needed help, but NNOOOO, cos of my HUGE EGO, I used the exact words "Nah, its alright mate, Everything is OK"

ALLO Stanley.... Your car in the stupid mud and you still want to be Macho. After about 30 mins, I B.T.H., I gave up. One man, drove passed in a lorry, offered help. The best thing is that not only did he help, he phoned his friend to come over with a 4WD to drag my car out....
End of story: I am home now.

What if this happened to me in Singapore? Woah... I think I'll be there accepting the following replies:
  1. Sorry, I'm in the rush!
  2. I don't think I can drag your car out..
  3. Call Toll lah
  4. *Smile* (meaning, smell my smoke.

I don't know why but thats the impression I get from my own country men. Could I be like them too? Now? Very less likely... after what I've experienced.

Oh well, thank you.. erm.... damn I forget to get their names!!!

Mummy lesson #1

While I was driving around these few days, I recently remember one of the things my mom used to tell me.....

Ok.. I was young, I remember one of those times when my sister's God-mother, Connie, pick me us to go out, I remember one thing my mom told me.... "Rember to sit in front okay? Connie is not your driver okay?" Hmm, at my age about 9, do you think I know what that meant? Come on lah, she is driving the car, so equals to be my driver lah, and why would people mind? It no big deal. But how about taking taxi? I usually see my mom & I sitting behind.. Ya sure we pay them.

UNTIL one day, when I was in Adelaide (Maybe about a 10 months ago) I Picked my my Chinese national friend from town. I met him and he automatically sat behind while I was all alone at the front, I casually asked, sit in front but he said, it was alright, behind more comfortable. Then it HIT me, You think I who? Your driver ah? YES my mom had made that dent in me. Crap, It was a big deal. I've been doing that all my childhood life and didn't give a rat's ass about how people think, but now..... DAMN. (Come to think of it, What's the big deal?)

Then again, is...
Sitting behind when your friend in front alone right? Is it practiced all over the world, cos I don't think my most of my chinese friends practiced that. Its not in their culture, so they mean no harm. Oh man, I don't like it when my mom is right about something that I know its no big deal.
