Errrr... Should I say NAK or TAK NAK...???

Hello blog,

Yeah, I know it's a been a longgggggggggggggggggggggg time since the last time I even log in to this blog. So much things happened for the last couple of months. But so what? Shit happens. Next!

So what about that little today's blog tittle?

-- fly by at the petrol station near the office last night. eager to be a batman with wings and stuff, but since it's just a fictitional character, guess i hafta settle down with red bull instead, coz their marketing scam said s'thing like 'red bull gives you wings'! i know, it's been late nite (around 00:00:00). this is pretty much our conversation (me & that chap at the counter).

me - bang, red bull satu...
thin chap (the fat chap will come into picture later) - kitorang dah tutup le bang.
me - dah tutup? takpe la... amikkan je le, takkan takleh amik. saya nak beli air ni.
thin chap - takleh le bang.
me - (pointing to the chubby a.k.a fat chap) abang pun takleh amikkan ke? (at that time, he's not at the counter, rather, closer to the fridge where my bull is waiting to be bought & consumed)
fat chap - takleh le bang
me - abis apa yg buleh saya beli? kalau ada org haus camne?
thin chap - dah malam ni, kitorang cuma buleh jual minyak & rokok je bang.benda lain semua tak masuk sistem

at that point,i just show them 'talk to the hand' stuff and just drive home...

ok, one thing i dun quite understand.i thot pak lah (and gomen) encourages us to say TAK NAK to rokok. but apparently, our own national oil company somehow indirectly doing the total opposite.no wonder the campaign is a big flop right now. it's not the smokers fault! whose fault is it if the smoker wants to buy s'thing to temporarily cure his addiction to nicotine, and somehow been indirectly encouraged to buy another pack of Marlboro...???

Totally not my fault to go for the latter, albeit at kedai mamak...!!!

hmmm.. also, shud i say NAK or TAK NAK for THAT question. that's the problem when you do s'thing without thinking. padan muka...!!!
