Ah Seng.

This fren of mines name is called Ah Seng. He comes from Kuala Kertih. Tat place is somewhere slightly above Sg. Petani. Ah Seng is an extremely worldly guy. Most of the things we talk about are very extreme stuffs. I learnt a lot about the black market world from this guy. Later on, i realised that im just a "katak di bawah tempurung".

This guy is very well exposed to many stuffs like drugs, prostitution, gambling, liquor and many other worldly pursuits. Mostly black market stuff.

However, 1 thing about him is that, his world is very small. He has a very closed mindset.Hes only been to KL once in his lifetime. I dun expect much from someone who doesnt receive proper education during his young age. Felt so thankful that ive actually completed my SPM.

He share with me about how a certain few ppl earn a living by just gambling in the Genting casino. How to use spirit to get the right card. It seems u cant ask the spirit to give u the right card if u ask for a big reward. Means to say, if u r betting big, ur chances of winning gets less. So usually this kind of fellows just bet enough to earn a living, instead of betting big.

There were a few times he share with me about what drugs is all about. I was exposed to it b4, but this guy, hes even more exposed. He mixes with drug addicts. Thank God hes not addicted to it.

There were a few times he asked me, "eh, wanna go Thailand?". U know la.. special service. I declined. I thank God for His protection over me all this while. I know, that i would have gotten tempted at that time, if it werent for my parental supervision and biblical teachings. I am a very curious person. This sort of thing would have caught me up. But bible says, that God will not allow u to be tempted beyond ur ability. God knows i cant handle it, thats y, im protected from it.

All I can say about ah seng is this… hes a very street wise sort of person. Even more than me for sure. This kind of fella, sure got lots of kang tau(contacts and oppurtunies). They can survive in this world. No prob.

I learnt a lot about snooker from this guy. 1 thing bout this fellow is that, he plays by "feel". He doesnt think much on the table. Hes so used to it that hes probably memorised all the angles. Of course hes been playing it for quite some time. He knows all the tricks, pull back, side ball, follow ball, screw ball, everything. Until today, ive never beaten him before except when he gives me a handicap of 10 points. Hes a great player. One lesson in life ive learnt from his is this, if someone is good at something, he doesnt have to think at all. So in order to be good at something, practice until u dont have to think. Thanx for the lessons.. :)

A very good fren. Loyal one. Even after i left ITB for IPG, he still contacts me. We promised each other that if either 1 gets married, we must attend their wedding. So pray that i get married soon then i can see this guy again… hehe

I guess hes currently working in some kind of mechanic shop. Hes dream is to be a big tauke 1 day. I believe that one fine day, he can achieve it. All tauke’s i know, usually are lowly educated but highly streetwise and hardworking. He can make it. Only worry is his circle of friends.. :)

to be continued….
