sirsimplysaw.com – one breath at a time

Its a rare occasion for me to be awake such early in the morning , after finishing my official chores I proceed to Sainsbury to get some groceries around noon.

All this time being a scout and a person, I try to help those in needs whenever I can. Although my dad always remind me not to simply help anyone as there are alot of crooks out there especially when you are at foreign places. Well as you people know I don’t really do everything my dad asked me to so I always try to help those in needs eventhough at times they might look a little suspicious but of course I will always take precautions to ensure my own safety.

I am sure you have heard of how dangerous the world can be , the stories such as
-people got their organs harvested when they thought they got lucky and going to make sweet love with a gorgeous babe but waking up in a tub full of ice without some of their organs.
-people got kidnapped and chopped off their limbs and other body parts so that they will work as professional beggars or some freaks in freakshow at 3rd world country
-people got cheated of their fortune or rape by someone who claim they can help that person to overcome some bad luck or evil spirits
Of course there are more worst case scenarios but I am sure you get my point

Anyway after buying my groceries I walked to the bus stop to take a bus back , 20 metres to the bus stop I came across an old lady in her mid 50s I suppose holding a shopping trolley and 2 small bags of groceries. As I come across hundreds of old ladies week in week out with their shopping trolley and bags so I don’t take much notice of it. As I was waiting for the bus, a few minutes later I saw the old lady again waiting for the same bus.

When the bus arrived she was mumbling something to the bus driver which I overhead a little. She was saying ” You fucking people don’t help me with my groceries just because I am not British”. I think she is an Italian or something. Then the bus driver said ” Did you just swear ? That’s not very nice of you” and then the old lady reply ” Yes I was swearing, just in case you fucking still haven’t figure it out yet I am not a big man so fuck you all” and she was throwing tantrum when she paid for her fare. I was a little disturbed with the comments but I don’t really bother because swearing and shouting is such a norm.

After she finished loading her stuff in the bus, she didn’t take any sit while but just standing there beside the seats. She then shout to all the people in the bus saying ” You fucking people never help an old lady with her groceries, oh yes I am swearing so fuck you people”. Along the way when people hop in the bus she was giving the FUCK OFF face to everyone even though she was obstructing the way. When she reaches her stop like 3 stops away , she take her time to take her stuff out and as the bus is moving away she show the worldwide sign for FUCK YOU , yes the middle finger to everyone in the bus.

I was left speechless with her action although I can understand her frustration of having to carry quite alot of groceries but I do condemn her actions. I mean unlike small towns where everyone knows everyone , London is a freaking HUGE city so is like almost nobody knows anyone. If you need any help, all you have to do is ask and I am sure there are people more than willing to help but if you expect other people goes around asking people do they need help in city like London is very unlikely. I think if I goes around asking everyone I see that might need help and offer them help might lead to a few things ,
- I might get a few visit from the Police department that some people might issue me with restrain order
- I might get a couple of lawyer letters for causing harrasment to their clients
- I might get beaten up by people who might think I might attempt to rob some old ladies of their groceries

You see sometimes being a nice person is not such a nice actions after all, it depends on situation to be nice and personal experience tells me that we can’t be nice all the time as it might lead into more troubles and cause unhappiness to yourself.

Back to the old lady , the amount of groceries that she bought doesn’t look for one person only so if she intended to buy so many stuff maybe she should get an extra help when she buy her groceries, of course I don’t know whats her circumstances but throwing tantrum at the public are simply nasty. Beside that she can always buy her stuff online and got it deliver to her doorstep as those big supermarkets do provide this kind of services.

I guess never a day passes without those little suprises in life, I do hope that whatever is bothering that old lady she will get over it and look at the bright side of life.

I came across a few quite nice stuff over the past few days althought it might appear a little towards the sexual thingy but I think it worth sharing so enjoy ….

If you cannot decipher anything, then try pulling the corner of your eyes..

POLITE WAY TO PEE

During one of her daily classes a teacher trying to teach good manners, asked her students the following question:

‘Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?’

Michael said, ‘Just a minute I have to go pee.’

The teacher responded by saying, ‘That would be rude and impolite.

What about you Peter, how would you say it?

Peter said, ‘I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I’ll be right back.

‘That’s better, but it’s still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table.

And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show Us your good manners?’

I would say: ‘Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope you’ll get to meet after dinner.’

The teacher fainted.

Saw is feeling damn miserable right now

- not because CNY is coming and he is going to be alone  , there will be no stamboat , no red packet , no JUDY i mean judi , no TCSS , no trip to Padang Besar , no this no that … I guess all I can look forward to for this year is CNY is maybe another trip to Stamford Bridge with my Blues boys for a match against Cardiff City in FA Cup 5th round ( suprisingly no more Mu, Arse , Lpool at this stage of competition this year ) holding over-priced and not so appetising hot dog in Matthew Harding stand watching Chelsea eases through the game to compesate for all the things I am not getting this year. Maybe I will finish off the day with a trip to IMAX cinema to watch Avatar in 3D , yea Saw still haven’t watch Avatar yet , the greatest movie of all time until today.

- not because Valentines Day is coming and I am alone all by myself, I mean it is such a norm for Saw to be alone on V Day that  it is like a lifestyle to him , it doesnt trigger any emotions in Saw’s brain anymore knowing that he will be alone during V Day … I think Saw might had a heart attack if one day he doesnt have to spend V Day all by himself , thats how serious V day had become for Saw. So ladies out there please beware , it is better to reject Saw straight away if he ever asked you out on a date on a V Day as you dont want to end up killing Saw at the end of the date when 2 of you had such a great night together just because Saw’s brain and heart cannot handle the fairytale truth thats happening right in front of him.

I know Saw isnt that useful to the society but I think it is still alright to keep him alive for few more years , I mean Saw can provide meals for alot of people and I mean ALOT of people if there is ever war happen in Msia and lack of food from it , in case it happens the best part of me should be my cheek meat. So please enjoy my cheek meat with respect as thats the best part you can ever get from the whole wide world.

- not because my last standing grandma health is deteriorating at an alarming rate , dont get me wrong , I do love and care for her ALOT !!! I mean she is the one thats really take care of me when I was younger after my mum pass away when I was just a 2 years old kid. She is the one that fed me, bath me, gave me love, clean me up after I shit and etc. The bonds between us are very close although at times growing up process do separate us a little.

She is already in her late 80s and her health is getting worst day by day plus her memories are playing with her , she been through alot throughout her life from separating from her oldest son in order to come over to Msia then have to struggle through WWII when food are precious while life are not. My step-mum keep on telling my grandma to hold on and that I will be back in Msia soon, somehow those words gave her strength to live on a little bit longer but somehow I got this feeling that the day I am back in Msia will be the last time I ever see her. Losing my mum at such a young age make me realise that death is inevitable and death are simply part and parcel of life.

the reason Saw is feeling so damn miserable now is because he doesnt like what he saw when he look at the mirror this morning . The reflections he saw on the mirror is not what Saw would please to see , Saw knew deep inside his heart that he can make changes to make whatever he saw on the reflections pleasant to the eyes and something he can be proud of which is not the case at the moment.

Can Saw turn this feeling into strength to make changes ? or will the feelings overcome Saw completely and turn him into an useless piece of crap ? Only times will tell and hopefully Saw will triumph at the end of the day.

Life can be so so fragile at times, death seems to be something inevitable. There is this saying in chinese that goes “coffin are meant for dead people not for old or young people”. Estimated there are nearly 200k death tolls in the Haiti earthquake and sad to say it could be much more due to the after shock when food run lows , when clean water become sacred , medicine become rare and sickness level increases.  Among the 200k death , there are young to old people , poor to rich , sick to healthy , thin to fat , short to tall so in short death don’t discriminate.

Then few days ago another tragedy happened back in my hometown , Penang. A dragon boat training by students from CLHS turns to tragedy after the vessel they are on went capsized. It recorded 6 deaths including a teacher advisor who is on his first training. It is such a great loss because we never know what they might achieve if somehow they were given the chance that never came.

One of them might be able to change the world , one of them might create an new invention to improve the world , one of them might be a world champion , one of the might be our Prime Minister but it is something no one will know now because they are no longer here. I am sure that they will be deeply miss by everyone around them.

This incident reminds me of my own incident that nearly cost me my own life which I sort of wrote in more details in Looking back when shit nearly happens . Thinking back,  rough sea can be very scary no matter how good a swimmer you are. It just want to suck you into it just like those MLM leeches out there ( I am not talking about those hardworking MLM people but those leeches ), once they get you  just wouldn’t want to let go. It was definately a terrible experience back then but I am very thankful to God that He decided to keep me alive even though at times I doubted Him.

I am not very sure me being here is it a blessing or a curse because I totally believe that those that passes on will be in a much better place right now but I do believe while we are still here we all should just live our life to the fullest and make our current place a better place for you and people around you.

My deepest condolences to all the family members of the deceased in Penang and also in Haiti.
