..so after another late movie night I found myself waking up to bright sunlight and lunch, the day pretty much went downhill from there. Pessimism's cool. Anyway back to my day, after lunch I managed to catch Independence Day on HBO, it's you a-typical American flick, world faces imminent doom, brave nation saves the day, people of the world rejoice! oh joy oh joy..sometimes you find yourself wishing the aliens would just win. So fast forward to evening, decided to take a walk, I like walking, gives you time to think besides I was getting tired of home. So walk I did, on my way back, I saw this dude selling mangosteens by the road. A big sign advertising "3kg's for RM10" not bad thought I, turned out to be a con, I asked for 1kg, got charged RM6, supposedly the sign was only meant for the MANGOES, fool, at least have the decency to write the clause in fine print what's wrong with the world! Now even con-men lose their ethics? So anyway while paying him, realized I, he had no left hand 'cept for a thumb and four wooden fingers (to what end shall I demonstrate "personally" how far humanity has fallen) as he loaded up my plastic bag with fruit, compassion for Johnny-one hand was lost to me. The single thought that kept passing through my mind was "..oh heck, hope he's not contagious.."
