eavesdropping
Compare between a village and a city, we tend to interact with strangers more in the city.
People lives in a denser proximity in the city, yet we barely knew each other sometimes. Besides, it is hard not to eavesdropping on other people conversation sometimes, like in a shopping mall or in a hawker stall.
So, for this post, I present you with the eavesdropping case1 and case2.
(xwei, dont call out for SPY ALERTTTTTT!!!! ya "p)
case1
This is a very short eavesdropping. I was walking around HOMEDEC 08 last weekend. And while I was passing through a water heater exhibition both, I overheard a man was making the following remark to his friend about the water heater unit on display in Hokkien (translated to english of course).
"you see, the water heater even have blue light (LED light actually), got use meh?"
Come to think of it, the water heater indeed have blue LED light that I dont see have any usefulness/functionality except fancy look.
case2
I was taking my breakfast this morning at a hawker stall. Business was slow since it rained early in the morning and the hawker stall is an outdoor type. Little customers ordered take away and I was sitting quite near to the stall under the big umbrella thingy enjoying my bowl of "koay teow th'ng".
There was a customer who seems like a regular one chatted away on a few topics/gossips with the stall owner while he is preparing the take away.
I remembered one topic they talk about is the RapidPenang bus operators clash with other bus operators in town issue. They make some remarks and blame the crisis to the way the State Administration/Municipal Council or what so ever for allocating same routes to 2 different operators, causing stirs that still unresolve until today. They even suggested a simple solution to fairly divide out the routes for the operators. Come to think of it, although the proposal is simple, but is a straight forward solution. Sometime, the solution to a problem dont need to be fancy or complicated, it just need to be simple.
Another thing that enlighten me is, hawker stalls/centres are a good source of "information" too =)

Yes, that's why politicians should actually go and sit in kopitiams to listen to kopitiam-chat.
