Varieties...

Hmm.. I went to Hospital UM last week to visit a friend. This was my first visit to hospital university. And having going there alone, the only way to get to that place is by asking. Below would be various instructions that I receive along the way...

I: Kak, macam mana nak pergi menara timur?
LAdy A: Cik nampak lift kan, cik naik lift ke tingkat 2. Belok kanan, cik akan nampak cafe..............( She told me a lot. But I was actually just at the starting point and menara timur is qt far fr there, so I can't remember all the things that she told me. But I manage to go to the cafe. And what impress me is... she keep on addressing me as 'cik')
Impression: Very very polite... because she 'cik'...'cik'... throughout the conversation.

I: Kak, macam mana nak pergi Menara Timur, bahagian ontologi eh?
Lady B: I pon tak tahu la. Cuba tanya orang kat sana.
Impression: Jz came here and work? How come dono one??

I: Encik, macam mana nak pergi menara timur?
Man A: Itu menara utama... menara timur jauh lagi la. Sebelah sana. Kena pass though menara utama. You ikut tangga ni, turun. Pergi menara utama. Cari signboard.
Impression: Ok. At least I got some direction even though he din tell me how to get there exactly.

Then I saw signboard thus followed it... But then after a while no sign of signboard liao...

I: Kak, macam mana nak pergi Menara Timur?
Lady C: Oo.. Jauh lagi.. Err.. You nampak lift kan, naik lift pergi tingkat 2. Lepas tu, susah nak cakap la. You naik, then tanya orang ke atau tengok la signboard.
I: Ada signboard eh... Ok. Ok.
Impression: Sure or not, signboard? Just now the guy also told me got signboard. Whatever la, if don't have then ask again...

So, I went to 2nd floor and I saw the signboard. But then the way that the signboard showed seem no end one. Better ask...

I: Encik, macam mana nak pergi menara timur?
Encik B: Oo.. Menara Timur. Pertama kali ke?
I: Ya, pertama kali. Nak jumpa kawan...
Encik B: Banyak jalan boleh sampai... Sini boleh. Jalan terus ..... (forgot what he said). Sini pon boleh ... (also forgot what he said...) Sini pon boleh. nampak tak signboard tu, belok kanan kat signboard tu..lepas tu naik lah lift ke mana-mana tingkat kawan u ada...
Impression: Don't tell me so many options. Tell me one and the simplest one will do. Giving me so many option is making me pening only... Guess what, after telling me so many things, he said:"Ikut lah I!". Kan bagus tell me this at the very beginning. Hahahahaa... But I like this uncle very much la. Very friendly and funny. Talk with me a lot along the way...Show me here and there, like tour guide... hahaha...

See, there is all sort of people around us. Friendly one, not so friendly one, polite one, blur blur one.. Hahaaha.. Varieties!

Life is interesting...
