Here's my definition of the word "Moron":

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ROOT WORD: moron |môrˌän|
noun informal: a not-so-tall Malay dude in t-shirt and shorts who smokes in an enclosed, air-conditioned DVD store at SS15.

DERIVATIVES: moronic |məˈränik; mô-| adjective
moronically |məˈränik(ə)lē; mô-| adverb
ORIGIN 12:17AM on 30 March 2009 (as a term denoting a ciggie-trotting, DVD-buying, t-shirt- and short-wearing, dark-skinned adult with a mental age of about 8–12): from Greek mōron, neuter of mōros ‘foolish.’


Got it? Good. Let's move on with the story.


I visited a DVD store today. The one that blasts good music crazy-loudly at SS15, just across the road from Asia Cafe. The one on the same row as Starbucks. Thing is, I usually don't visit DVD stores in KL so... I wasn't too keen on paying it a visit in the first place. (I'm not a fan of venturing into unknown territories. I like familiarity, thank you very much.)


You see, it's just so crazy expensive buying DVDs here that I'm amazed these stores are all still surviving. Thriving even! Penangites buy DVDs from Batu Ferringhi at RM3 each lah, ok. Then on top of that, buy 10 free 1 summore. Heh. (Gotta show off a litte. =p) But... nehmind. Dun like also go. Daring and dangerous and all that lah kan?


So I walked in, flipped through a couple of decks and then realised: Damn, the music's loud. -_- My head started to pound from the doosh-doosh-doosh super power bass that was bleeding out of the speakers. I remember thinking to myself, "Hmmm. No wonder the volume seemed perfect when I was at Asia Cafe like, 100m away. The volume is INSANE in here!" But... still boleh tahan.


Then suddenly, I smelt smoke.


Ding ding ding! If you know me, you'd know that it's a big killer whale of a faux pas for me if you smoke in an air-conditioned place. Especially when I'm IN that air-conditioned place with you. Worse still if you're within air-sharing distance from where I sit or stand.


And this MORON was.

>(

I tell you, my headache escalated
at the speed of Taipei 101's lift.
That's 17m/s, or 61km/h, or 38mph.

-_-


So what to do? Give jelingan maut lor! No lah, kidding. I scared he burn me with his ciggie. Haha. So I just walked away from where he was after giving him a once-over. And since (to my surprise) my head still worked, I started thinking to myself, "Kanasai, what kind of MORON smokes in an air-conditioned place wan?? Tsk tsk. So uncivilised." Then I looked at him again and a second thought popped into my head, "Kanasai, this MORON isn't even really smoking cos he's so busy flipping though DVD decks!! @*#%^@&!!!"


So means what? Just hold and pan cool???
And KILL THE REST OF US in the process???

>(

MORONIC MORON betul!


I steered clear of him the rest of the time I was there in an effort to preserve my downward-spiralling head. By this time, all earlier-made complains about the music seemed petty in comparison. Haha. What can I say? I'm just terrible with smells. Can't take a lot of them.


But... lari also cannot lari all the way. I had to go to the counter to collect my DVD and pay. (Yes, amazingly, I bought one DVD. A dance documentary.) MORON was still holding his ciggie and polluting the air lah, of course. Lousy bugger Peabrained MORON (double the synonym, double the MORON power) was on his second stick already. Hmmph.


Then suddenly, he straightened and closed the deck he was looking through. I thought, "YESSS! Maybe he'll walk elsewhere and kill someone else with secondhand smoke now! Wheee!" But, nooo. Even that's too much to ask. He started puffing right there. Just 5 feet from where I was standing. RARRR!


And then I realised: Bloody hell,
this MORON isn't even really a smoker!!!


All he was doing was sucking the smoke into his mouth and blowing it out again. Not even with a second in between both actions. I'm serious. Not kidding at all. It's like, inout with no space or hyphen in between. Like, literally in then out lah! I also dunno how else to explain already. -_-'


And it's so obvious that MORON thinks that he's playing Mr Cool Guy by doing that. Cos after awhile, I think maybe he realised that I was looking at him or something (damn perasan cos actually, it's called staring daggers in my books -_-) so he started to puff smoke rings instead.


-_______-

MORON OR NOT I ASK YEEWWWW???

Beh tahan.

Felt like grabbing his ciggie
and putting it out on his eyeball.

*blink blink*

Whoa, I'm evil sia. T_T ---> Oh, but that's
not me crying. That's what MORON's face
will look like when his melted eyeballs
are running down his cheeks.

OMG,WHATISWRONGWITHME???


Come on lah. If you wanna smoke, at least smoke for real can or not? If we die of secondhand smoke cos you're really into slow suicide then at least kinda worth it lah. (If only in a sick way cos if we look short term, there'll be one less smoker for me to gripe about before I, too, succumb to lung cancer from secondhand smoke inhalation. Heh. Looks like I'm the kind who'd shoot myself in the foot to prove a point. =p)


At least if you tell me you can't live without smoking and you're so addicted to it that you've gotta have a cancer stick hanging from your lips 24/7, I think I'd be annoyed... but I wouldn't be this pissed. (Though still, I don't think it would hurt you to be a little more considerate and not smoke while you're in an enclosed, air-conditioned area. 10 minutes tops only wat. Can die meh?) Cos now, it seems like the torture inflicted on me was all for nothing but for MORON to score his fake cool points with the boys. Summore wanna show of blow pattern pattern smoke. Pfft. What nonsense.


You know I think he's a college student. Looks like one. Young, brainless, MORONIC, inconsiderate and totally disrespectful of the people around him. Just a wild guess but I'm thinking since he was in the area and he didn't have car keys on him, he's probably an out-of-towner who's studying at Taylor's College. Few Malay dudes go to INTI and most Metropolitan students aren't wannabes. But that, of course, is me making sweeping statements lah. Haha. Whatever the case, he's probably the product of peer pressure. It's is sick lah, I tell you – the creator of pathetic wannabes. Smoker-wannabe non-smokers like MORON.


p/s: I should have snapped a pic of him lah. Haih. At least show the female blog-hopping world that they shouldn't date him cos smokers got lower sperm count. Let his saham jatuh kau kau. Wasted.

If it was a legal establishment, you could have told him of. However, there you are... buying an illegal DVD. I don't think the proprietor of the shop cares if people smoke.

If the guy is already willing to buy a pirated DVD, smoking indoor is just another 'small crime' for him to commit, no? Honor/health among thieves?

Probably on the other side of the globe is a dance documentarian blogging about the inconsiderate people who buy pirated DVD's of documentary.

OMG! I laughed so hard reading this entry. Best ever. :)

Portions I liked (and I'm so gonna steal if I ever remember it long enough):

jelingan maut - This is the word of the day for me. Haha! I haven't heard of it before this.

"It's like, inout with no space or hyphen in between"
This is priceless. I love it, especially the intentional concatenation (ok so that's not what it's called, but lemme be pretentious can) of inout to stress that the smoke didn't inhale.

Okay, this is like literary analysis. Stopping.

BTW, smokers may have lower sperm count but I've known a few who have inadvertantly gotten their partners pregnant. :p

I .. I .. miss the food in AC. All I eat for lunch nowadays is cafeteria food. Urgh, I hate caf food. I want my Uncle Bob from AC. :(( And pork noodles behind TBS and Uncle Seng's and my friday bubble tea and .... i should stop here.

Kidding you said?

That "jelingan maut" of yours was super extreme. So extreme that he could have died of electrocution if you didn't look away...

Lucky him.

Luckily I don't smoke, otherwise I would be innocently blinded by having BURNING! RAGING! cigarette stubbed into me eyes. Talk about rage, you would make a good De Niro sidekick in a Mafia film. Can we book you for a gangster flick audition?

WOW! From Thomas' account of the prowess of the Jelingan Maut™, my knees would go weak and beggggg you to stopppppp! It would psycho fear into every human being.

ATTN: luxen
– But but but... so inconsiderate!!! Especially when he's not even REALLY smoking! If he was really puffing away then, okay lah. He needs to smoke or something lah. But this wan is mau buat gaya tapi tak ade otak weh. How can forgive???


ATTN: Huai Bin
