Let me introduce David..... a Chinese guy..... looks normal, most of the time anyway... hehe! David is in his thirties, medium built and has a charming smile. He grew up in a small town, went to study in Singapore (that's where I met him)and now, he's back in Malaysia...... blah, blah, blah.... let's skip the boring stuff and zoom in on the juicy ones... hehe!
When he was young, people have always considered him somewhat of a weirdo. He didn't quite fit in anywhere. He acted strangely and could even have his own picnic in front of his parent's house, at the roadside and had no qualms about it whatsoever. But he was quite a sickly boy in his younger days. Endless nightmares when he would wake up sweating in the middle of the night until at one time, he dreaded sleeping.
Being the `weirdo', his relatives or neighbours would never leave him alone. Maybe if they had given him a hard time, they won't feel so bad about how indequate their children were. He was a brilliant student, much to their disappoinment. When people teased him, he just kept quiet. But some people just don't know how to stop. When things got bad, really bad, he would lose his temper in a strange viscious manner. One time, his uncle teased him so bad, he turned around and said, `Careful when you're riding your bike'. The next day, he met with an accident!
A neighbour, Tan, disliked him for his `unusual' behavior, because he was not like other boys. He was intelligent way beyond his age and he could explain things to adults that even they could not understand. So, one day during a gathering and while David was eating in the middle of the crowd, the neighbour pulled his pants down. And everyone laughed. David's face changed, he did not cry. Face red with anger, his eyes pierced into Tan's eyes and he said, `You will pay for this ... all your life !!!'
With that, David dropped the plate, pulled up his pants and walked off. Everyone just shrugged off and continued eating while Tan was still laughing away. The price that Tan had to pay was enormous. 2 months later, Tan lost everything at the Genting Casino, his business went bankrupt and had to leave Malaysia to hide. And for 20 years, he hid in Taiwan, doing menial jobs.
Yes, David, my good friend..... a scary character ? In actual fact, he is the nicest person. Somehow, people just won't leave him alone.
He told me once, his parents were going to take him to see a movie and he was vey excited about it. But 15 minutes before leaving for the cinema, it rained very heavily and his parents decided to cancel their plans. Naturally, David was very disappointed since he waited for the whole week to see that movie. So, he went to the car porch, looked at the sky and said, `Please stop the rain for me, please !!!!!!' The rain stopped in 5 minutes.
Pure coincidence ? Oh yes, he can also command the wind !!! We went out once and it was hot and humid that night. I said, `Oh, how I wish there's some wind! It's so hot here....' David asked, `You sure you want wind?' `Yes! Why ? You can order some for me ? Hahaha!' David smiled, closed his eyes and then I saw him blowing some air from his mouth gently. A few minutes later, a slight breeze came...and I said, `Yeah right! It's coincidence, ok ?' After I said that, the wind started blowing... nice cold wind... and it didn't stop until we left one hour later.
That's my good friend, David. And this is just the beginning........ come back for more stories on David.
