Gawai Dayak is just around the corner and people are gearing and packing up what they need to go back to their kampungs to join their relatives in this joyous occasions.
Surely, most of you know about the pre-Gawai celebration going on inside and outside longhouses, where the drinking session has already begun to welcome a blissful day.
Yesterday, a couple of my friends, along with my brother and myself decided to go to a nearby coffee shop to grab something to eat. When we arrived there at a quarter after 6 in the evening, the place was closed, sealed shut, when it was suppose to open at 5 p.m. Malaysian standard timing don't you say?
Anyway, we decided to wait there till it opens, figuring it was soon. Cause it gets into my nerves if I have gotten into my car, drove away, and just when I'm far enough to not turn back, my rear-view mirror will show that the shop just opened. So we waited, and sat there not far from we are, was a man -maybe in his late 40's- , holding a can of beer and he was drunk as hell.
Couldn't keep his balance even while sitting, spilt his beer a couple of times, shouting and mumbling, spitting everywhere at his free will, scaring innocent passerby, shouting of some really funny secrets and potentially putting himself in the spotlight of embarrassing moments. These are all typical acts by a drunk person. It is funny and we laugh about it, while we insult that man, making jokes on our own and how humourous it is to see a grown man making fun of himself without he realising it.
But think about it, what if he was someone you cared?
