Just Another Random Day


You know people usually say that a good-hearted person will always do charity i.e. give money to the poor, the handicapped, the homeless, the sick etc..... As you know that everytime we give some cash to these poor souls we feel damn great. Yeah man , I mean really damn great because we felt as if we have done something noble and have the same status as a rich person likeThe Great Uncle Lim Goh Tong from Genting. *Ohh im a great person like this guy, I gave some money to this poor guy*


Anwaaaayzz......
Heres the deal, how the heck would we know whether the money that we gave will eventually goes to the needy? For all I know, all those money might just end up in some corrupted !@*#=$ man’s pockets. Especially in Malaysia.


I'm sure most of you peeps have encountered a man askin for money before rite? Well i have a story to tell here goes..



JANUARY, 18 , Friday

I was at this KFC restaurant eating this so called XXX (trippleX) burger which was as tiny as a pea KFC burger when I was approached by this cute 16-17 year old mandarin speaking girl.

Girl: (speaking mandarin) ello, dui bu qi da rao ni men...ada masa untuk saya? *sorry i duno how to say the rest =)*
(English) Hello, sorry to bother you but could you spare me a few minutes?
Gabe: yea, how can i help you?


Girl: Hihihi, ni hao...wo shi chong zhi ge shi tuan lai de...qing wen ni ke yi "bagi wang" * scratch head ^^ heee i forgot how to say donate money*
(English)
Hi, I’m from this society and I would like to ask whether you can donate some money to this centre.

Then she goes on showing me some pictures of some down-syndrome kids living in some ghetto dump with crappy environment.


Girl: As you can see, these kids very cham wan u know, they need help lo.

Gabe: umm... ok so???


Girl: So if can you can donate some money to use lo, like 10 bucks enuff.


Gabe: WTF?!!!! 10 BUCKS i'm not so stupid la where got people ask u to give a certain amount for charity??*then I looked at her suspiciously


Girl: I know what u thinking, I not bluffing wan u know, u see I got these papers and newspaper cutting and our license saying that we are real charity collectors *and I haven’t say anything also*

Gabe: Have you been to this centre girl?


Girl: Got, sure got wan la, I go there help everyday wan u know, I sit bus there and help wan ma,e must help these kids wan.


Gabe: Where you from girl?


Girl: I’m from Bidor.


Gabe: According to this paper, this centre is located at Skudai. You know where’s Skudai is?


Girl: Er..erm..


Gabe: Skudai is at Johor. So you telling me that you go all the way from Bidor to Johor in a 6 hours bus ride to help out in this centre? *i know i suck at Geography but i aint that bad*


Girl: …… (speechless)


Gabe: You look like 16-17 years old, don’t you have school to go? You sure that this centre is genuine?


Girl: I’m not bluffing, u know hor, if we do good things god will know we do good things wan, its from the heart, dun care whether you know it will go to the children onot. *and she's cheating me i wonder if that is a good thing....*



Gabe: Its not about doing good things and god knows that, I just don’t feel like giving my moneyto some scam that has been going around preying on gullible naive young girls like you which the money will end up in some scumbag’s pocket.


I can see that you're being cheated and all but let me tell you this. If I were in your position, I'll quit this scam and go home. You're not getting paid for all these running around asking for money right?


Girl: Nods *man I can see tears in her eyes*


Gabe: Look you think you're doing a good thing by collecting money for these things but for all you know, this is just another scam run by some scumbags, you understand me right?

These people just preying on your sympathetic nature and needed some free labour in collecting money for them.

You go home and think about whether what I said makes sense. And if you are smart, you would quit this thing before anything bad happens. You do know nowadays it is very dangerous for a girl as CUTE like you to wonder around in the streets right?


Girl: Nods *I can see her face getting redder. I think she's blushing cuz i called her cute?*


Gabe: Look, tell you what, take tis RM30 and go home, tell all your friends about this so that no people will be used in this scam anymore ok? If you do that, it will be a big charity work that you have done for everyone.


Girl: Cries *thank you*


*Man I felt damn cool, like in some movie scene…on the other hand, I look as if I’ve just dump a girl* ><
