You're Fired
Note: No, it's not about "The Apprentice". Donald Trump creeps me out.
A whole lotta guys cramming at the windows. No, it's no Rose Chan peepshow, but a fire. Yes, folks, a fire broke out at one of the upstairs shoplots along Jalan Datuk Sulaiman, TTDI. Holding fast to the principles of suaku-ness and ke-kepoh-chi-an, my colleagues and I were jostling for a better view from our 13th floor vantage point. The fire was quite big and the flames took off the roof in no time. From where we were, we could see a lone fireman fighting the fire. He was spraying water on the front of the shop, whereas the fire raged at the back. And it really seemed futile. Some time later, another fire engine came to the scene, but there seemed to be no urgency. We did not see any extra hoses being employed. In case you don't know, the TTDI Fire Brigade is located just 2 minutes from the scene of the fire. If the fire broke out elsewhere, baik tak payah datanglah. Dekat-dekat, sudah endahtak endah. They didn't seem overly concerned that the fire might spread to the multitude of second-hand furniture shops along that row. Eventually, the fire fire was put out, but the place was a total loss. Due to a miracle of some kind or perhaps the effort of the firemen, the shop downstairs was spared and the fire didn't spread to the neighnouring lots. Have you heard of allegations that some firemen actually will not "start work" unless you bribe them? Have you heard of ambulance drivers who accelerate according to the amount of money you give them? Don't want to believe it, but...
"Har! $50 je. I pandu laju sikit, tapi tak letak siren tau."

where do you work huh... so free to patt wan... LOL
I'm not too sure about having to pay them to bribe them. I only know those ambulance drivers turn on the siren even when there isn't any emergency, especially when the whole world is stuck in a traffic jam. I've seen them turning it off after passing through the jam. Totally wtf.
afturds pay ledi, he drive recklessly, terus mati jugak leh.
Corruption is everywhere. Heh. TTDI le... banyak benda 8 di sini. Haha.
@Venge:
Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. Yeah, was working. Blech. Perhaps good also, make the traffic move a bit. Haha.
@NynoyaP:
Pro drivers mah... Tak mati kot...
