Never Judge a Book By It's Cover

Lesson 1

There is a type of people in Glagow we call them NEDs(Non-educated-deliquent), which in Singaporean term we call them Ah Beng,Ah Seng (for boys) and Ah Lian Ah huey(for girls)...and so they was this two NED sitting next to me in a bus stop ...in their usual trademark sportwear baseball cap fashion....swearing at a rate of 4 foul words per 6 words sentence...creatively fully exploit the usage of the F-word with his heavy glaswegian accent while happily talking to another NED...and so I try to sit further away from him in case i get into his way and get into trouble..it was a peaceful afternoon....then from the other end of the road...I saw an elderly crossing the road...with one hand full of shooping bag and the other on a crutch...walking in difficulty and trying very hard to cross the road...for me...with the fullest sympathy...i just look and feels worry...and just at this split moment...that mouth swearing NED stand up and run across in no time and put his hand over the elderly and led him to cross the road...stopping the passing traffic with his other signalling hand... and even help the old man get up the bus....when the bus arrive...i was IMPRESSED!...and feels utterly ashame that i will never do such a thing....while the NEDs were constantly being critisised and discriminated by the public for being anti-social and annoying...this NED...is what i would describe as kind-hearted though mouth-swearing....Hence..the lesson for the day...never judge a book by it's cover...and a person by it's look.

this happen quite some time ago and i remember it becos of the next incident i am going to talk about...


Lesson 2


This man..dressed up in suits well shaved and well mannered...with smile and very polite when he entered the restaurant...ordered a few bottles of budweisers with another friend and they start eating buffet in the restaurant i worked in...everything is fine....until he finish his meals and go to the loo...my fren waited at the counter by the door for him to come out to settle his bill...meanwhile his fren was still seated.then...the moment arrive when that well-dressed man walk out of the loo...walking towards the cashier calmly...while his fren stands up and walk towards the door...his fren walk out of the door first...and then...that man...dash past the cashier and RUN AWAY!......together with his fren...my colleague gave chase but they ran really fast and lost sight...and so my story ends with yet another lesson learnt for the day....Never judge a person by his good looking suit...and to end this chapter...please pardon me for the following words...THOSE BASTARDS!

Lesson 3

I didn't notice this guy at all...obviously who looks very common and not attractive...then he paid and walk out of the restaurant while i also went out of the restaurant to help a handicapp lady set up her wheel chair(one of our regular customers)...we had a bit of problem opening up the wheel chair while we (the lady and me) struggle to force open the chair...that guy...who was about to walk away...saw us in trouble and came to help us...and finally we found that a shopping bag was stuck in the seat that cause all the problem...the lady thank me and him...while he just smile and walk away....this guy...not very attractive and handsome...yet have a heart of gold....which i have no way to noe that unless he shows me...so...the lesson I learnt...Never judge a person by it's look...not good looking doesn't mean dun have a heart of gold....
