backslider to FRONTLINER Pt 5
The Type of people i met.
Ah Bengs
I met with a lots of kinds of Ah beng. You can say that even among the Ah Bengs, there are many puak or tribes. I happen to join many clans. Bcos im joining 2 sessions at 1 time so i get to finish my course faster and oso study longer periods. So i meet diffrent ppl all the time.
THE LEGENDARY 4 BENGS
I know this Ah Beng quartet of muscle beng, big Beng, small beng and stim2 beng. Tats how i use to call them… in hokkien.
Muscle beng
As his name speaks for itself, has lotsa muscles on his body. This guy is very strong. And he is proud of it. Very stylo. Everyday when he comes to classes, his E-Kin Cheng styled hairstyle never fails to catch ppls attention. Very stylo milo, BUT.. unfortunately, although being well built, he is SHORT.
This is a typical racing-beng. Hes a car-freak. Everywhere he goes he talks non stop about cars. Funny ah, these fellows cannot speak english, but when it comes to cars, the terms they use, super canggih. "Where theres a will theres a way". And he modifies his car. YES YES YES, hes the typical ah beng who puts a state-of-the-art car audio system. Everytime he comes with his modified Proton Wira, u can hear the sounds of his BASS ATTACK coming from his car. In fact he has a dvd player in the car. U can see movie in his car. His taste for music… sheesh.. Techno.. ah.. pls help me… its like mini-world war 3. He will listen to Dr Bombay, Mega-mix, Remix, Bass Attack all those kind … u know…
Hes very extremely good in snooker. Got his own personal que. But unfortunately never got to play against him b4.
Although he has all these stuff, i pity him for 1 thing, he has a low self esteem. Ive tried to encourage him. Especially when it comes to going after Ah Moi(chicks). But, all i can say is tat this guy is a good and loyal friend. Even after i left ITB later, he called my HP. True friends are those who still contact u when u r not around. If GOD blesses u with 1, cherish it… all ur life… if u dont have 1, ask GOD for it.
Hmm.. if im not wrong… hes a Meloncholy-Phlegmatic.
Big Beng
This guy, is BIG !!! He has the same height as me. But… hes huge. I think at least 80 plus kg. A simple guy, with lame and dry jokes. Happy go lucky. Joyful. And of course, he is strong. Perhaps hes as strong as Muscle beng. But if he trains up, i believe he can ta-pao(belasah) the other guy, no problem. He reminds me of the UNDERTAKER (wrestling).
Oh ya… this guys passion is WRESTLING. Every WWF(at that time still called WWF not WWE) video, i believe, he has seen all. The Unforgiven, raw is war, smackdown, u name it… hes seen all. Somehow, brawn ppl just love brawn stuff. Im scared of this guy, cos at times… when hes excited when he speaks about wrestling, he will use me as a casualty to demonstrate his death defying moves. He knows every technique in wrestling. Got 1 time he caught me and locked my arm. Ouch… kesian la saya…
This fellow is a good fren of mine. One thing about this guy is this… although hes a big guy, hes a little lembab(slow). I guess hes slow in everything. He catches things slowly. And he moves slowly. He takes his sweet time for everything. But hey… these fellow… dun c him like tat oh.. hes got a pretty galfren.Bei tahan… This world is not fair man.
Hes a very simple guy. And very nice as well. I can see that hes very pure at heart, unlike the snakes ive met so far. His botak head, coupled with his forever-smiling-look, never fails to brighten up the ppl around him.He doesnt really bother much wat ppl say bout him. Its like hes accepted the fact hes like tat. Such person has no ego. Unlike some, pantang dicabar. This guy just doesnt care. A typical PHLEGMATIC-sanguine. SLACK lah…
Small Beng
This fellow, is very short and thin. But no matter how short he is… hes still taller than Muscle beng. Kesian the other fella…
Small, fast and agile. Can be very kurang ajar, naughty, playful and loud. Likes to play pranks on people. His mouth can be so busuk(as in the words he use not the smell) that u just need to use clorox to wash his mouth. U can say that hes just a smaller version of me…
very extremely active.
Hes got a galfren whom he knew as a childhood fren. Shes studying in IPG, accounting student. I once asked him, if ur galfren is more educated than u… is it ok wit u…? he replies…. so what.. doesnt mean she earns more than me… ive got no comments bout tat..
This guy likes bowling, in spite of his size. His galfren is a state bowler for KEDAH. Good for them..
There was once when i was sleeping in classes, this irritating fellow woke me up and ask me this stupid question, " u wan to own a proton perdana-V6? ". I was still dreaming and i said "dun ask me stupid questions la". But he insisted, "do u want it". To keep him from bothering me, i said YES. This fellow finally said," good… this saturday, go to the bowling alley in Sg. Petani and win the bowling competition." Wah lau eh… this fella think so easy is it. This is wat i call thoughts that never passes thru the brain. Wake me up for some stupid reason… Pantang betul.
Hes very skillful in arc-welding. I asked him to do my project for me. Thanx to him, i got pretty good marks for my project.
I think among the 4 this guy is the brightest of all. Learns very fast, reacts very fast. Sometimes too fast that ppl gets pissed with him, cos he cannot wait for others. He was the tai lou( big head or leader) of the group b4 i came in…
Only thing is, sometimes when he talks, it doesnt passes thru the head.
I like talking to this guy. When i bought the chinese gossip magazine, i asked him to translate for me, cos i wanna learn to read mandarin. He knows a lot about film stars and gossips. This is where i learnt most of my ah beng culture and get into the flow.
I think hes a typical Sanguine-Choleric.
Stim2 Beng
This fellow leh… hmm… nothing much to say bout him. Hes just stim stim… The most blurrest of all. No backbone. Agrees with whatever people say. Very quiet. But hes a very good follower. Never heard him complain before. I asked him to do my gas welding project for me b4. And he did it well.
I guess he likes to join the group cos, no one else mixes with him. We sort of spice up his life. But hes a daredevil when it comes to riding the motorcycle. Everyday he travels from Sg Petani to butterworth and he pick up small beng. Small beng used to complain to me, this guys a maniac on the road. Not afraid of death.
Hmm…i think hes a Phlegmatic-Meloncholy.
I joined this clan when i go to the workshop beside st.marks school. This fellows treat me like their leader, and they actually called me "TAI LOU". Whenever they wanna do anything, they’ll ask me first. I dunno y. And i will plan for them on how to execute a certain event or pranks… somehow they just like my ideas… hehe.
I appreciate every moment i had with them. We use to kacau ah moi from st.marks skool bcos our workshop is just beside the skool. We will jeer and shout like mah lat lou. It was fun, although it sounds a little uncivilised, who cares.. if u dun do it… ure missing the fun. There was once, we wrote a letter to the ah moi, and throw it to the classroom from far, then they will reply by throwing the letter back. haha.. those were the days.
Being the big brother… i know that i hav to take care of them. They love consulting me on certain issues. I guess the reason they like me is because, although i speak english as my main language and come from a good background, i lowered myself down to mix with them.
This is the trick, i learnt from JESUS CHRIST. To lower down oneself regardless of status,race and ability. Eventhough Jesus, is the son of GOD, the annointed one, the messiah, HE washed his disciples feet with His hands. He once said that He came down to the earth, not to be serve but to SERVE. Such humility can only come from JESUS. So what more me as a sinner. I may come from a better background, but in GOD’s eyes, we are all the same. In fact i recognise that everyone has a certain gift that GOD has blessed with. So there is no such thing as who is greater. All man are brothers. This is what the bible has thought me.
to be continued…..
Haha.. interesting!!
nice terms for the ah bengs!! hahahaha… hey, GOd uses everyone. You can be Christian Beng or Ah Beng for Christ!! Canggih leh?? You MUST go start a new puak laaaaa…. now, let people follow you pulak laaa… like Jesus. He has His own disciples or followers! If Jesus can do it, so can you! BELIEVE and HAVE FAITH!!… hahahahaa…
