Malaysia-Waiting la...

Happy Labor day!

Sports day started today. The black and white time table saying: badminton starts at 8am, all the counter helpers stand by 7:30am at the court.

Here is what real happened:

7:30 am-I am in the badminton court as one of counter helpers, half of players showed up, but the organizer was nowhere

7:45 am-found the organizer in the cafeteria, "hey, all the players there are already waiting, don't you think you should go up, and where are the nets and forms?"

he said:" wait la..."

"it's already 7:45am, games start at 8am "

"just wait la...what's the problem with that?"

the guy who is speaking is only about 18 or 19, and "wait la" can just come out of his mouth, the sad thing is that he didn't think there is anything wrong with "waiting". I do feel deeply sorry for him.

Here are the questions I have:
1.what kind of education producing this kind of wasting time no problem culture?
2.what kind of thoughts is going through his mind that wasting other people's time that is also normal?
3.what's the difference between "killing someone" and "wasting his or her time"?
4. and why 45 minutes flight away from Malaysia, there is a country that can tell you "sir, your taxi is 3 minutes away, thanks for calling"?

For all I can say: alright, my young boy, just wait la, wait until the day you realize how much time you have wasted, or maybe you will never realize that...
