Cakap-Cakap Dalam Kereta

I've come to notice that there's something that happens between brain and mouth when conversations are carried out at speeds of 120kph. Don't know what exactly, but there's just something about it. You know? Something wrong about it. Something very wrong about it.


The conversation went in this direction (or something like this):

Assessment of Malaysian interest rates
> Interest rates in ang mor countries
> Interest rates versus housing loans
> Correlation between interest rates and housing loans
> Difference of interest rates and housing loans in different countries
> Interest rates and housing loans in ang mor versus Asian countries


...and then it moved on to this:


NOTE: The following conversation does NOT express the sentiment of the author towards Australians or Australia in any way. It is strictly the personal opinion of ONE member in this two-way conversation – the conversationalist who will, from this point forward, be known to Tinki Talks (and some other people) as Lil Gap.


Lil Gap: Who say??? Ang mors aren't like that lah.

Pam Song: But that's the system in Australia wor.

Lil Gap: *rolls eyes* Australians are different.

Pam Song: What?! How so???

Lil Gap: They're not ang mor. They're all prisoners.

Pam Song: Eh, hello! You're a cabut lari Chinese also lah. Talk so much. Tak tau malu.

Lil Gap: What? What? What do you mean???

Pam Song: Where are you from??? You're a Chinese in Malaysia, okay. You're an exile from your country, too!

Lil Gap: Hey wait. There's a difference between quitting and being laid off. Australians are laid off. WE ARE QUITTERS!!! There's dignity in being a quitter! I AM A QUITTER! A proud to be!

Pam Song: -_-


Sometimes, I feel sorry for myself.
For having the weirdest, most country-ist,
proud-to-be-a-quitter friends.

-_-


p/s: Celcom broadband rocks. Not quite as hard as I wish it did, but it rocks all the same. (Beggars can't be choosers anyways.)

Pam Song said...

ATTN: SY

"Lil Gap: They're not ang mor. They're all prisoners. "

...???... as if the two are mutually exclusive... ??!!??**~^??

"There's a difference between quitting and being laid off"

I personally find that being laid off is more honorable... At least we did our best... But that's not to say our ancestors were not honorable... They din exactly quit. They left because there was no more food to eat in China at that time. Those who left had every intention of returning, but circumstances in the following years didn't allow that.

"There's dignity in being a quitter!"

I seriously don't think so. Quitters are losers...

Which brings us to the question... Are people who quit smoking quitters? Hmm... Been thinking on that one for quite some time...

"country-ist"

wat's 'country-ist' mean? forgive my ignorance... =p

Pam Song said...

ATTN: Andrew Chua
– Firstly... Nice profile pic. Haha.

And secondly, welcome to the world of Lil Gap. =p

I guess when it comes to being honourable, being laid off does appear one up from quitting. But in terms of having pride, quitting is one up. So from that I think we can conclude that Lil Gap is a guy who's prideful but not honourable?

Moving on...

"Are people who quit smoking quitters?

Hmmm. Lemmie know if you figure it out. Good point though. I think they're quitters (if only for what the word means). But at least they're not quitters in a bad way.

He's not exactly racist ma. He was just against Australia and all who were born on the land. So... that makes him a country-ist. So there. *firm nod*

I make sense. I know I make sense.

lol very interesting conversation.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: Willett
– Haha. That wan you go and deal with him. I don't want a part in this cat fight. =p

Pam Song said...

ATTN: ★xi0m4r4★
– Haha. Yes. I have interesting friends. =p

"Firstly... Nice profile pic. Haha. "

Nice leh... Now all i need is a pair of 'fly-eye' sunglasses...

"And secondly, welcome to the world of Lil Gap. =p"

more like lil brain...

"Lil Gap is a guy who's prideful but not honourable? "

guess what comes out tops on the list of seven deadly sins...

"But at least they're not quitters in a bad way. "

I guess it's right to quit something bad... a bad job, a bad habit, a bad relationship... but somethings, like your race, your country, your chosen profession... these are larger than the people within them... maybe we shouldn't quit these no matter how bad it gets... dunno... maybe... hard to judge...

"So... that makes him a country-ist. So there. *firm nod*"

oo...okay....din get the context ;)

"I make sense. I know I make sense."

dun make sense. make love.

Pam Song said...

ATTN: Andrew Chua
– Don't make love. Make curry chicken.
