smoke


was walking around tampines today when i saw a guy sitting at a cafe asking the waitress if he can smoke there. That scene suddenly reminded of an incident happened few weeks ago, an incident so embarressing that i hid it in deep inside my subconscious.

I was at our camp canteen with wk and yk eating our breakfast. There were people from other unit, eating breakfast as well.
We were chatting happily when we were interrupted by the people sitting beside.

"do u guys smoke?' he asked, waving his cigarette in his hand.
"no," we said
"ok," he stood up and walked away
"its ok actually," yk said immediately
He walked away

At that moment, we were thinking how considerate that smoker is to ask around if those people around him are comfortable with him smoking.
Then i started praising loudly, hoping that the smoker can hear our compliments,"how nice of him, if everyone can be like him the world will be a wonderful place..."

It was around this moment, yk who was sitting across me (facing the direction the smoker went) narrowed his eyes and spoke,"guess like we are wrong..."
Before i know it, i smell the choking sensation of smoke.. The smoker slowly walked back to his seat with a lited cigarette.

The power of words can be so deceiving.

lesson learnt:
"do you guys smoke?" => do u guys have a lighter
"no," => DO I LOOK LIKE A SMOKER TO U?
"ok," => how useless can u be
"its ok actually," => get LOST

Feel like slapping that guy... ..
