If you do not own a car and have to walk around a lot (like I have to) you will notice that many Malaysians do not know the meaning of being courteous. Probably because, convenience for self is far more important to us than courteousness to other people (at least I think so - what else can it be?).
Come on, be honest, how many motorists actually stop at the pedestrian crossing (with no traffic lights) to allow pedestrians to cross? How many times have we tried to get out of the train, only having to struggle through because people thick heads cannot understand that we should let people alight first, then board the train? Is it really so hard?
When I first got back from the UK, these practices really annoyed me. They still do, though. If only we spare some time thinking about it.
Even if you do drive, have you noticed how many motorists cut in and out of lanes without even bothering to indicate? And people wonder how come the accident rates are so high in KL alone. How many motorists actually gesture their appreciation when you let them go before you?
My message to the them out there (should you choose to accept it) is to think about how much simpler life would be if we only spare a minute to think of being courteous. It certain won't kill us to think of other people for a change.
On a much happier note, Sweetie is back from Kuching. Thank God!!! I missed him so much. If you are reading this, Sweetie, don't ever leave for a holiday again without me. It really sucks having to be here having nothing to do while you are somewhere else gallaranting.
More good news :- Contractor proposed to Ms. Do-It-All - finally! Yes, my dear Contractor, we all want THE RING. Complain if you must, but that's real important to us girls. We want a 'replay' of the proposal (the romantically enhanced version)!!!
