Laws of Attraction

Why is it...

that the waiter who is absentmindedly picking his nose or his zit, closely scrutinising the goo it unleashes, in one far corner of the mamak restaurant...

or the one who just came out of the toilet, hurriedly zipping his fly, without washing his hands,

is the only who ALWAYS catches your eye and quickly comes your way, smiling broadly, to take your order...

and outspoken as you are...you just can't seem to bring yourself to say something at that particularly moment...

and when he brings your order...you try desperately not to gag...

"kakak...tarak sedap ka...apa pasal tada makan..."

"pening plak kepala saya tiba2 bang...tolong kasi bil..."

We know we have rat droppings to supplement Ajinomoto in our dhall and sambals at the local restaurant...we know KL restaurants are breeding rats the size of overfed Persian cats in their efforts towards preservation of wildlife...but we just don't want to SEE it...know what I mean?

Yo, Dato' Zulhasan Rafique...you're doing a great job! At doing nothing! Keep it up!

Now KLites can supplement incomes by catching rats, especially the prime 20 pounder breeds in the greater Wangsamaju and Setiawangsa longkang areas and maybe sell them to...who ah? The pasar malam satay traders?

Hahaa...I penah kena. Ordered roti canai but had to wait cause the cook wasn't there. Sekali saw him came out of the toilet, terus pi kat kaunter, amik tepung and bikin roti canai mcm tara papa. Wtf? Nasib baik order bungkus, so it went straight to the bin at home. I could've told him to wash his hands but why bother? Even if he did wash his hands after being told, I dah geli....euw!

Ala, baru nak pi kedai mamak kat rumah nak pekena roti canai special :)

tak jadilah nampaknya.

i think most of these fellows in the mamak joint near my place with the dirty habits are the new arrivals whose idea of hygiene is similar to those vikings in the '13th warrior'

i've always loved this scene. here, have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4lYNNYAMSA
