Fireworks Night
So fireworks night was last Friday – one would think that it’s a simple ritual – a yearly thing for this small town – and the entire town are usually out at the waterfront or by Wendy’s where everyone finds a place and sit and wait for the sky to turn dark and enjoy the firework.
This year’s firework was slightly better than the previous years and this year we opted to go down by Wendy’s instead – but we didn’t come with chairs nor a towel to sit on. So we met our neighbor and chatted for abit – when the guy sitting in front of his car by the road – raised his voice and said we were blocking his view. Yes! rude and the firework hasn’t started for that matter – and really – this is afterall – a free space and anyone can stand in a big open space where they want. But as usual – we didn’t want any trouble – and i asked the boss to move a few feet away and the big Caucasian guy moved his chair where we were. Like i said – no need of that – the space didn’t belong to him – if only he would ask nicely – we wouldn’t have been offended at all. My grandmother used to say – people like that ” San Yan Ba Sei Dei” – meaning – direct translation – living person placing order on a dead land. Why can’t people be nice?

oh no, rude people get on my nerves too…can’t stand them. is it sooooo hard to just try to be nice? duh. but don’t waste time on them, they will learn on their own and get what they deserve. people say that this world is unfair…i say sometimes, it is fair.
