tea on the road
"HUH!? What in the world is tea on the road!? What is this egg talking about!??!?!11"
I'm talking about tea... on the road!
"HUH!?"
Yes, tea on the road.
"Is this person crazy or..."
Nono, I'm perfectly fine. Its tea on the road, my friend. Lets take it that I'm here trying to explain why in the world the tea is on the road in the first place.
It all began as a ordinary Monday afternoon. Birds sing in the trees, bees busy buzzing away, cats peeing on the lamppost and so on. I, The Almighty Eggimo, was on the bus. Listening to my favorate Jay Chou(He is da best if you guys didn't know.) songs with my very very old MP3.
A very tall and slim young man carrying a book with a hairstyle very similar to mine except his is covering the left eye and bleached, boarded the bus. Face decorated with ear piercings, lip piercing and right eye piercing. Wearing a ragged styled T-shirt, jeans and a very cool ring. "An ah beng... Ok firstly, do not have eye contact with him. Secondly, when I get off the bus, remember not to knock against him. Lastly, please do not sit beside me." Was my thoughts.
SADLY, he choose the seat that's beside mine. I kind of admit we looked like buddys with our hair. Maybe he mistook me as an ah beng. As much as I could, I tried avoiding turning my head to the left as he is there but as the journey dragged, I can't help it but notice him looking at me with the corner of his right eye which is not covered by his hair. With my left eye, i made eye contact. "Oh shit!" i said under my breath.
Upon the eye contact, his whole head made a sudden turn, facing me. Sweat broke out all over me with that sudden movement of his. "In the name of jesus, protect me. Especially my face and hair." i prayed inside.
"Err... hi." said the ah beng.
"HI?! DID I HEAR A HI!? DID HE JUST SAID HI!? SHOULDN'T HE BE LIKE 'OI STARE WAT STARE!' weirdo..." I exclaimed inside my head but replied with a confused "Hey!"
"Wat gang u in last time huh?" asked the ah beng. "I was from @!#$(censored due to certain reasons)"
"I...I...I... not from any gang. Was never in one, in fact."
"Issit? Orh ok lor. Err, dont be scared la. I now not in any gang. I am from church!" and he showed the book he carrying was actually a bible. "I at first thought u ah beng la, was trying to tell u to quit and share the bible with u but dont know how to start."
"Oh... That's good to hear. I really hope that more singaporean can follow your example." Smiled at him and continued, "Like evangelizing, which is what you are doing right now. Knowing what you are doing is wrong and is making amendments. Being so on for God. Reaching out to people that you specialise in and in your case, it would be ah bengs? Haha!"
"HHAHA! Of cos la! I was once in their shoes wat! And i think im the best at talking to ah bengs la hor. I talk to them, they wanna fight, i comfirm win them. If i dont talk to them bout the holy words, who will? right?" With hand guestures all over the place he said. "and i see you are also a christian hor? I address u as brother la! Im James."
"I'm Nicholas, from vfc."
"orh, i from The Rock. Now going to my friend house drink tea. like a gathering in small groups la."
"Wah... really? Cool leh!"
And with that, we talked for a while more. Things about our hair and stuff. I missed my stop because of that, so I wish him farewell and got off the next stop realising I forgot to ask for that cool guy's contact.
The End.
"HUH!? THEN WAT THING ABOUT WAT TEA WAT ROAD!?!??!"
oh i almost forgot. I saw a Lipton™ tea bag on the road on the way home.
