Remember my post on CK Tan, my good friend of 21 years. It was an unknown post. Remember I said I want to advertise him secretly...hehehe....
Although I did not tell anyone, it seems a lot of my
other friends managed to find a way to it..and they like it so much...to an extent that this post was commented 7 times and
viewed 66 times since I posted it last week and it is still counting!!!
"Memang sambutan hangat!!!!"
Really selling like hot "char siew pau"!!!
Also my friend of 21 years, Sherry Lee...has pointed out to me an
incident that happened years ago. Thanks for reminding....indeed something that have sparked my interest to post more of similar
entries!!!..kekeke....
Do you still
remember your young school days...waiting for your "bas sekolah"
(school bus in Malay) to come and fetch you to and back from school..I
can bet with you; 8 out of 10 of us who is reading this right now has
some sort of similar experience!!!
Why is this common? COZ majority of our
parents have to work to make a living. They can't afford just to sit
their ass at home and do nothing while waiting for the time to fetch
you to and fro from the school.
My
mum likes to say " ng sai chou meh?" which literally means (In English)
"no need to work meh?" and "ngo ng hiu yan ngan zi?" which also means
"I don't know how to print money" !! Well...she is right!!!
Not
everyone is born with everything!! Not everyone is that lucky!! But,
There are certainly people out there that match this description. Some
of them even have personal drivers!!! My GOD!!!!
ANYWAY....
My
focus today is not on lucky bastards that have personal drivers...we
can forget about them at this moment. I will talk about them some other
time!!
But rather..
A school bus that I have been in, the interesting people that I have been in with and interesting and memorable incidence that had happened while I am in it!!
We are looking back at more than 14 years ago.
Now..there is a little different about this school bus...a little different...coz CK Tan's mum owns it. In a way, you can say CK Tan's mum is the chairlady (COZ she drives the bus) and CK himself is the CEO (He facilitates conversations and gossips....hahaha)
And then..we have Sherry Lee (I have been in most school bus with her than anyone else...right Sherry??...hahaha), Mr Sin (Sin is his family name, it has nothing to do with his sins or whatsoever..if he sees this, he probably might kill me!!..), Rosemary mary mary Yun or Jessie (now married and a very successful pharmacist) and obviously not forgeting me, the owner of this blog!!!
At
that time, there are only 5 of us. And it is always 5 of us. The school
bus is moderate in size, not too small, not too big. Just imagine, if
there are only 5 of us in that bus....how comfortable will that
be???..kekeke...I don't really need to tell you...you can figure this
out yourself!!
I have
been in 2 previous buses before this. My GOD!!! I was treated like sardines!!! As my mum like
to used the word "sardines" ...seriously you are pretty much jam packed
sardines minus the tomato sauce in a can, waiting to explode!!!! AND
this bus that I was in... the driver drives like a mad cow... and...he is also famous
with the Hakka word "kiak dit eh!!"
"kiak dit, kiat dit" in
Hakka means "faster, faster" and is a usual term that you heard in this
sort jam packed buses. COZ when it is "kiak tit", they can fetch more
kids and have higher turnover. Who say aunties and uncles don't know how to calculate???...big shot chartered accountant also kalahlah!!!!!!
Now....
You
know that having five people in a moderate size school bus, and you knew
all of them, and it is spacious (at least you are not treated like
sardines) make it fun and interesting.....
....up until one day......
And the story goes like this.....
It is already 6 pm. We have just finished
another ordinary day of school. Tired...as usual. All of us just very
eager to go home. Wanted to get out of the school..after a half a day
of crap SHET!! by some of the weirdest teachers!!!!
One..two...three...four
and five....good!! All counted for. Yeah...we all can go now. The
journey is not too long, usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes (plus
minus traffic) and about 3 to 4 km to the first target
drop..haha...that's Mr Sin, second drop, Jessie, third Sherry and I am
fourth before both CK and his mum goes home.
A
lot of people might think that what the heck is 10 -15 minutes or 3 -4
km. It is not that long...yeah it is definitely not long..but it can be
long if you are having fun!!!
Most
of the time, the settings of sitting, the front row..there will be
Sherry and Jessie, the middle row..CK himself and Mr Sin, obviously Me,
always at the back...I enjoy sitting at the back!!!
This story is dedicated specially to both Mr Sin and Jessie.
A
little about Mr Sin, for those who haven't know who is he yet..he is
usually pretty talkative, loves to laugh, and everyone called him
Stephen Chow Junior (found in the form 5 year book)...hahaha...don't
kill me please WL
And
there is Jessie..who normally likes to defend herself and her thoughts
if challenged....I think Jessie will surely defend herself again when
she sees this.....hahahaha
We were talking about something..and me..as usual just observed..chip in my thoughts once a while...
AND...out of a sudden..Mr Sin becomes a little annoyed and serious !!!(my
first thought was..this is very unusual....he is normally playful and
not serious...becoming serious only can make you think of 2
things..either he is sick or he is angry...he was laughing and talking
just a minute ago...obviously it is the latter)
AND Jessie as well...her whole face suddenly turned red...hahaha
I think we were all talking about a topic...not entirely sure what the heck we were talking about???....ANYWAY....
The
issue we were talking about...suddenly turn sour...coupled with the
fact that the sky is getting dark outside...I was actually scared!!!
Things
became worse when both Jessie and Mr Sin started waving their pair of
hands hitting each other....in the face, in the head, on the
shoulder...you name it...they have hit it..hahaha....and it became
worse when Mr Sin started to be a little physical...showing his
manhood....started pulling Jessie's hair...and Jessie in return started
grabbing hold of his foot and leg...amazed how she can do that...with
great respect!!!! Hahahaha
And
Jessie was like "hou tong ah..wei...fong sau oh!!!!" ..which means "it
is painful, let go!! darn it!!!!"..hahahahaha...and Mr Sin on the other
hand "bei fan chek hai ngo eh!!!!"..which means "give me back my
shoe!!"....hahahahaha..come to think of it now...it
was actually really really funny!! ...I was a little scared and nervous
at that time but both CK and Sherry were enjoying themselves...and CK's
mum (we called her auntie) was panicking "wei...lei dei hou ting
oh!!!"...which means "hey..you guys better stop it!!"....hahahaha
Fortunately
for all of us that night.....it did not continue for long and we were
pretty much laughing about it the next day. And as usual Jessie's face
turns red again!!!...kekekeke....please don't hate me Jessie!!!
The truth is...we have all enjoyed ourselves!!!....Hahaha
