i need to learn mandarin!!!!!!!

i was having lunch with dad at a stall, when a girl approached me..she's about 23 i think..somewhere there lah.. she came right up to me, took out a small boy's photo and some paperwork.. at that same second, she was already blabbering on and on about the little boy.. That's not the problem..the problem was, she was inches away from my face! i had to lean back just to look at her! plus, my dad was doing dono.. what man.. pity me only..

So.., she went on and on.. showed me so "permission slip" with a red crescent on it, where she flipped back and forth, back and forth..the only thing i could see was the red crescent.. and while i was trying to make head or tails of the situation, she was talking on and on.. all i could her from her mouth was blabbers.. gibberish! plus with my useless command on chinese, it sucked worse.. as the drama was going on, i looked at dad.. he wasnt even looking!! man.. i'm all alone..:( fine.. acting as the "good samaritan", i took out my wallet, and fished out 2 bucks.. when i was about to give her, she flipped the slip at me again, pointing at "RM20"..and it was double underlined! i was like WTF man.. she also showed me receipts of other ppl, signing 20 bucks..

With the best and most polite chinese i can put on, i asked whether 2 bucks can.. she was like bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla and pointing to the underlined RM20 on the slip.. IDIOT!!!! in her blas she also tried to convince me that she has permission to collect money and that she was not cheating me.. (at least i did understand something) fine.. i gave her the money, and she gave me 3 pens.. off she went.. BLOODY FOOL!!

after she went, dad looked at me.. (yeah right..about time he do so).. i'm not gonna post about what my dad said..haha..

so... this is the part where my brains start a QandA session on what happened.. first thing was, did she just cheated me.. after thinking about it, i told myself.. for her to come down to the stage of begging, she must b really in need of money for the boy (oh ya..i still dont know who the boy is, or what he is suffering from..language problem..:P) if she really needs the money, and i just ignored, that would b cruel.. plus, she dont look like she was on drugs.. or at least when she was begging.. and she dint smell of cigarette either..plus, if i were ever to b in her situation, i would really want ppl to donate too.. On the other hand, what if she did really cheat me? to overcome this, i prayed.. Lord, of she is really in need, let my money help make the boy better.. if not, she will b answerable to u.. that was my prayer.. and so, i think i have done my part..

come to think of it, i could have done what Peter did.. "i have no money at all, but i give u what I have : in the name of Jesus Christ.......and start a prayer for the little boy.."haha.. but then again, i suck in my mandarin..darn..
