Not long ago when I was writing about the inefficient creature at work, my friend, Charles left a comment regarding me slapping him twice in a day. A few friends were kinda curious after reading it. This was actually what happened on that day.
It was some time before Christmas in year 2005. I was requested by the company to get some decor items for Christmas. Not knowing where to go, I dragged along Charles, who was still my colleague back then, to shop with me. We then decided to shop at Prangin Mall. Sometimes they have really cheap stuffs.
It took us a few hours shopping there. When we were done and ready to go, he said something stupid in the car and I raised my hand making action as if I wanted to slap him. OK my experiences with this ‘hand-raising’ movement has been positive. People who had seen this movement from me (eg: my ex-house-mates in K.L, my younger brother) would reasonably and definitely ‘move’ away as my palm goes near their faces. But not for Charles. Either he was too tired or he was dreaming, he didn’t avoid and ‘Phiak!’. There goes the first slap.
The incident happened in the car park of Prangin Mall. I was laughing and laughing and laughing at the poor fella while he was complaining and complaining and complaining, and at the same time, driving out of the car park. When the car was somewhere in Penang Road, I associated a practical joke that I once liked to play with my cousins. I asked him:
‘Eh, do you know that people said if your palm is bigger than your face, the chances of you getting cancer is higher?’
The poor fella surely wasn’t aware that it was a practical joke. Despite the fact that he was driving, he put his palm on his face, and ‘Phiak!’, I pushed his palm towards his face and slapped him again! :D
So there goes the second slap, and I was lucky that I could still stay alive after the incident. :D
