♥ Oppsss..
Being a typical Malaysian citizen, one will know that there are certain aspects and habits that are a total no-no and related to Malays. First thing is the time management of Malays. We are so famous for being late and punctuality is like an alien to the Malays. We also have the name for making promises which involves time - janji Melayu (Malay promises).
That is only one aspect. The other aspects that we are known for is being the lazy bums. Melayu is often said as me-layu which means that we are always in a lazy state.
Cutting queue is also a well-known habit to Malaysians. I really loathe people with all the mentioned habits. I mean people have their own problems and settle them by themselves. But if everytime this habit appears, then what is the point in living in the same world as others? People can tolerate with the doings once in a while with a reasonable reason. But every time?
Which brings us to this topic today. I accidentally took a parking space. I mean there was this car in front of my car that stopped and it was kind of showing that it wanted to turn left. And I saw a parking space on my right. So, I gave a signal indicating that I wanted to take the parking space. The car just stopped and I thought it was waiting for another car or something and I did not suspect it to take the vacant parking space since the driver never gave the signal. So, I swerved in the parking space, actually reversed parking. And I saw the driver's face. He was like speechless. I was like what?? Did I do something wrong?? And then the car went on and I saw it taking a parking space that was just a few meters away. And then it hit me. Oppsss.. I have that habit that I loathe others having.
And as I walked to the shop that I intended to grab a few things, I kind of said to myself. Was I turning to the typical Malaysians? Well, I just said to myself that I had no intention to grab the vacant parking space from you and besides, you never gave the signal.
So, I am apologizing publicly to the driver of a silver hyundai coupe, who I accidentally took the vacant parking space today. I hope that you are not angry and next time, please use your signals to indicate where you're navigating to.
