An encounter with a samseng
Dad and mom on leave today. So they sent me to cg at sembawang, thinking that we could go for dinner before that.
As we drove into the carpark of sun plaza, the car in front of us suddenly jam brake, we were also quite close to him. Then he showed his reverse light, so dad just reversed the car to let him park into the lot he wanted. In secs, he just reversed into the lot, recklessly, without checking blind spot. So dad just shook his head. As we were driving off, he starting horning endlessly at us. Couldn't be bothered so we drove to the other end of the carpark.
Before we could even park the car, this reckless driver came marching at us and knocking at my dad's window, asking my dad to get out of the car. He wanted to pick up a fight. So both mom and dad got out the car. He insulted my dad and used all the coarse language and vulgarity at us. He even threatened to beat my dad up. He said "What's ur problem? Wanna fight ah? Why u shake ur head? U wanna find trouble is it? So lousy driving skills. I'll beat u up if u are not an old man." He stood so close to my dad's car door, not giving him any space get back into the car. Dad din wan to quarrel anymore, so he wanted to get into the car. As he was getting into the car, he had to open the car door more widely to get in, then this guy shouted at him, "Why u push me? U wanna fight is it?" He simply refused to let my dad get into the car.
Then I was in the car, I took out my hp from the bag. When he saw me sliding my hp, he backed off and banged very hard on my dad's car.
We were afraid that this crazy man would harm us or damage our car, so we wanted to walk over to take down his car no. When he saw us approaching, he quickly drove off to another lot. So as we decided to let the matter rest, he came running and shouting at us, saying why we following him. He claimed that he was leaving the carpark ald and that he had just finished posting letters.
Hello? Kid who? In less than 5 mins he could go up to post letters where the post box was so far away. He kept shouting and threatening us, so dad took out his hp to call his inspector fren. When he saw it, he said then since we wanted to make things big, then he can also call the police. He claimed that there were 3 of us and only him alone, "3 against 1, wanna fight ah? I can also call people here." Then he said all the nasty things at my dad and pointed at him. I told him to back off and leave my dad alone, he shouted at me and said "Who are u to talk to me? I'm talking to him, not u." I got provoked, took out my hp and dialled triple 999. I told him "We'll wait, I've called the police and they are coming soon." He opened his eyes so big, as though he wanted to eat me up. "I also can call the police. We wait la, see who win." We just walked back towards our car.
Seeing things not right, he walked up and down the carpark and made several phone calls. Then he marched towards us and said he's late for an appt and he had to go, how long more to wait, saying that he only came to the plaza to post letter. Dad just told him stop lying and wait. He got super agitated and shouted "How dare u call me a liar? Do u know I can sue u for calling me a liar?" He must be guilty.
I just told him,"Then do u know that it's discrimination that u called my dad an old man?"
His reply was "Old man not bad words ok?"
Really such a stupid jerk existed. I just couldn't be bothered to waste my breath on idiots. Discrimination doesn't need bad words or vulgarity. So uneducated and ignorant.
He walked away to make phone calls and came back saying, "I give u my ic no., u give me urs. I dun want to wait." Dad refused. He's trying to get away. Guilty conscience.
Just then, the police car came. I approached the policemen and told them, I was the one who made the report, that there's a gentleman threatening us. (phew.. I was too kind to call that jerk a gentleman) Dad gave his statement to the sergeant while 2 officers spoke to that guy.
The sergeant asked if we wanted to pursue the matter and take him to court, cos he could issue a warrant right on the spot. But my dad, being a person who had dealt with many of the lawyers, inspectors, superintendents and high ranking officers, kept emphasizing that this was only a small matter, that he only wanted to make a report to give us protection only and that we would drop the matter if he would to apologise. So the sergeant went over to the guy to covey my dad's message. We could see that he was very agitated and refused to make the apology. As the sergeant spoke on, we could see that he's scared ald.
Then the sergeant came to walk my dad near to that guy and said, "Mr Woo(my dad), mr chan (that samseng), this is just a misunderstanding. Since Mr Woo won't pursue the matter, we just rest the case."
Then I saw my dad stretch out his hand to offer a handshake and that fellow, very unwilling shook my dad's hand in front of the policemen. Then my mom went up and said, "but he haven't apologise yet." He was hopping mad, and stamped on his feet and shouted "Sorry, is this loud enough?" And he walked away. The sergeant assured us that they have filed the case and if anything happens to my dad's car, we could straightaway go to the police station to report and he'll be the prime suspect.
We thanked the policemen and apologised to trouble them. Come on, we are civilised people, not like him, a barbarian. As we walked away, mom was thrilled to see how embarrassed he was, behaving like a little boy, stamping his feet.
Din really had the chance to eat with my parents cos I was running late. But just now when they picked me up from cg, they said that they saw his car still parked at the plaza when they left the carpark. Who's the liar? Post letter? Leaving the carpark?
Moral of the story: Evil never wins the righteous, dark will never overcome light. There's justice in everything. And there's an invention called handphone and a number 999 to dial for the police when u get threatened. Dun ever mess with me cos I'll not hesitate to take legal actions when I sense my life being threatened. Most importantly, thank God for His almighty protection that that guy din harm us.
Oh, forgot to describe his sickly look. Yes, pale, thin sickly-looking man in his early or mid 30s, wearing specs and a little balding in front, wearing specs, in a shirt and trousers. Typical abusive look. Walked like a samseng (hooligan) and certain is one. Protruding eyes like goldfish. We could see the demon manifesting in him. Yucks. Pity his spouse, if he ever has one.

Miserable
Felt so miserable ytd during the gathering with my pri sch frens. Horrible. Why? Cos someone thot she's very eloquent and kept picking on me.
One of them came back from Australia and asked me to organise a gathering. I'm always the one doing this dirty job. I'm not hardup to do it. Thot just help to organise sth to make everyone happy, instead I was made miserable. It never pays to do such stuff and I'll nv be appreciated for it.
Somehow, someone finds it an extreme thrill and joy to keep making fun of me and picking at me. Every qn she asked, every ans I gave, she could just make fun of it and make a mountain out of a mole. Thanks. I really "appreciated" it. I dun need those kind of attention. She perhaps like the idea of building her joy at my expense.
She always make me the evil one and she, the saint. She would always call the rest up before the gathering to warn them not to be late, otherwise I'll be very mad and angry. Come on, I seriously couldn't be bothered if u are late or whatsoever, if there's a reason behind. One of them was 40mins late ytd, I understand cos she had to make. But she always makes the point to portrait me as the unreasonable sort, making the others fear of me, every single time, without fail. What for? I used to play along with her accusation. But I calmed down after the dinner ytd, to realise that this crap had been happening every single time we meet up. After analysing the whole thing, I just feel that she's sowing discord among me and the rest. Thanks. Having being frens for 12yrs, this is the nonsense that I finally came to realise.
She claims that no one dare to tell me off and only she has the courage to do so. Fine. Bravo for that courage. Seriously, I dun need all the attention that she created. She just wants to prove that she's very eloquent and no one else could win her in a debate. By all means, u win. All I wanted was a peaceful dinner and great catching up. But ytd, I found her extremely noisy and annoying.
I'm not angry, but deep down I'm very hurt. Dun wish to organise anymore of such thing to make myself more hurt in future. A clap takes 2 hands. Dun see why I'm always contributing my time and effort for sth that brings me more harm. Actions speak louder than words. She can always do the saying, and I'm always the one doing the action. Just like that instance that I had to shop and make the delivery for the birthday gift to one of their moms, to bring over to australia, even if it inconvenient me. In my honest opinion, I really dun mind doing it for a long-time fren. But seriously, whoever came up with that idea, should do the followup, planning and take actions.
What car I want and what kind of bf or husband I want, or whether in future my husband needs to walk to work is none of others' concern. I appreciate the fact that if u really care, but save the sarcasm. The sarcasm and that sense of humor ain't amusing.
