People

This morning a friend and I went over to the DKSH warehouse sale praying that it wasn't jam packed like the Adidas warehouse sale. They had a good concept where it seemed like it was "Hari Keluarga" with all the tents put up. My aim was to get a watch which I did; but anyways, this is not what I intend to write about today.

MALAYSIANS. We can be so "kiasu". There was this Vico van there giving out free drinks; like the Milo or Nescafe vans. You and I both know how small of a cup they give. You should have seen the amount of people that was queuing up just to take a few cups of free Vico. If it were some sports day where everybody's thirsty and can't seem to find some other drink, I would have accepted the queue. The queue was longer than any stall selling things (well, there wasn't a queue to buy stuff as we MALAYSIANS don't like queuing up; we just push our way in and get what we want). And in this queue, it wasn't like it was majority kids, there were aunties; not too sure bout uncles (uncles like my father tend to not go for this kinda things). Is the economy that bad that everybody is so desperate for a pathetic cup of Vico?

One more thing about Malaysians. If you don't intend to buy anything from a certain place, don't just stand there to see what is going on just because there is a bloody crowd there. If you're curious fine; but just have a look and then get the hell out of there man. Don't just stand there for like 10 - 15 minutes just looking and then only walk away.

Somehow we think Singaporeans are "kiasu"; people look around you.
