Today, a somewhat funny incident happened when i was buying bread for my family after music practice. The stall keeper peered at me closely and said (further conversation in chinese) that i look somewhat familiar to him. Well, i told him that i previously studied at Sri Muar and had just finished my form 6 at High School. "Ah!!I studied at Sri Muar too. But you wont recognize me methinks cause im much older than you (and you say I look familiar to you?)" he says before continuing "I think i finished my SPM over there(doesnt the dude even remember his education?!). I was working in KL and have come back to Muar to see what jobs are available to me here."

"Oh..ermm..ok..." I replied. To be honest i cant recollect any of my seniors or friends whose image represents him. By this time I had already paid for my bread and was heading back to the car. "Oh!..wait!...why dont you give me your number so that I could contact you and maybe we could have a meal sometime in the future". "Oh,ok, no problem (he MIGHT be my senior right?)" I replied. We exhanged our numbers. At this point I found out that his name was Ah kuang. After doing so, I was heading back into my car.

"Errrr....errrr..." he said.

"Huh?"

"Errrr....do you errrrr....see you know, you know...."

"See what?" (But i roughly know what he's hinting at)

"You know lah...those BAD shows...."

"Ohhhhhh......no."

"Oh!then nevermind. Don't introduce to u lah"

At this point I bade a friendly goodbye, got back into the car and drove away.

Is that the reason that dude introduced himself? Wanting to sell me pornograpic shows? Me thinks he just used my former school as an excuse to 'try to make business'. I don't think he even knows me at all. You may be thinking "what's so great about this conversation?". True to some extent. But to me, I feel bemused that one would be so desperate as to resort to this kind of tactic to make business. I was thinking in my heart "So that's the reason he introduced himself to me(I haven't ruled out the fact that he MAY actually really know me)". Im not blaming him. I understand that one has to earn his bread( no pun intended) and selling these kind of cds are an additional income to him. Im just sad that one has to venture into these kind of activities. Welcome to the real world, I guess.

For all I know, this dude might even had been a brilliant student at some point in time. He might have just taken a slight wrong turning in his life and ended up the way he is. Im not saying that he's destined for this life. No. He has made his choice and he needs to make more choices in the future. All of us too are in the same boat. Our outcome depends on the choices that we make. I just hope that ah kuang would somehow or another make the right choice and come out of that life. Im saying this because I know that God can do anything. No matter how messed up our life is, or how tangled up we feel about life, just remember that It's never too late. It's never too late to turn back to God. It's never too late to untangle yourself. It's never too late to clean up that mess you have made in the past.

Everything that has happened in our life has a purpose behind it. All those stuff that we did in the past has lead us to where we are now. There is always time to make right with God and turn to Him. He is ever ready to forgive and always has and always will love us. God doesnt care about our past, He cares for our future and He wants to be part of it. Let God be your steering wheel and your life will definitely be on the right path. Trust in Him and He'll take charge.

Ah kuang has my hp number. Im hoping that he'll call me actually.

Ok. A slight detour. I just caught Harith Iskandar on TV2's jazz program. Whattaya know? That guy can play the guitar and sing the blues! Not perfecto but it sounded great! He played a nice short solo too. He was singing something about potholes and pirated vcds. There's one sentence that goes something like this "I see your image on the bottom of the tv screen" which is clearly refering to the low quality of pirated vcds where people's shadows frequently cross the cinema screen where it's being recorded illegally.Hahas...

Good night and good morning everyone! (It's past one o'clock in the morning here).
