First, he ordered mee siam mai hum!
Now he ordered 40 sticks of satay!
Just what is his problem?
Let's count!
First, did he have any sense of proportion as to how much satay his stomach could accomodate (taking into account the ketaput and cucumber and onion)?
Probably not.
Maybe that's why he ordered 40, thinking that any less would constitute an
unreasonable "gastronomic sacrifice" that no stomach should be expected to make, just because it's the stomach of a politician!
Really is yao gui + tam jia!
And that's problem number 1.If this human battery were to be the one eating satay, he would order 10 first, then if not enough, another 10, then if still not enough, another...
That's because this human battery grew up poor and his mummy had taught him not to waste food! So he would rather err on the side of "under-ordering", then over.
This human battery would never have started with 40 and if cannot finish, throw away the remainder.
The man is poor at judging proportions and when in doubt, tends to err on the side of excessive indulgence!
And that's problem number 2.He had to cross the causeway to find kindness.
Why couldn't any satay man on this Matrix Island show him the same kindness?
Because no satay man here dare contradicts his words!
He orders 40, and you give him 25?
You never die before is it?
How dare you treat his words like shit, argue back and imply that he has poor judgement?
The one in Malaysia probably didn't know that his daddy was waiting with a hatchet in the cul-de-sac!
And that's problem number 3.He was so surprised by the honourable act of a satay man;
"Wiow,
there actually exist someone who is willing to be paid a fair amount and who expects nothing more. Can you belive that?"
Surrounded by greedy men, he has not seen an honourable act in years. No wonder he find it worthy of mention!
And that's problem number 4.Upon knowing the kind act, he should have insisted on 40 sticks or even double-up to 80; Give a treat to his body guards and driver, and let the satay man goes home happily to his wife and kids.
But alas, he does not subscribe to the adage: "one good turn deserves another".
And that's problem number 5.He ordered 40. Satay man came with nearly half of that - 25.
But he didn't know it until it's time to pay, where-upon he was pleasantly surprised.
He can't count, is poor at visual estimation, and is generally not too good with money!
And that's problem number 6, 7 and 8.
Neither is his accompanying wife! (That explains a lot!)
And that's an even larger problem number 9!His Public relation people told him to come up with some down-to-earth stories to relate to the people.
And the best he could think of is mee siam mai hum, and 40 satays for 2,
...both of which shows that he is out of touch with reality!
For in reality, mee siam doesnt come with hum, and 40 stick of satay is excessive for 2 persons!
But, he doesn't know that!
He should stick to true stories about sipping birdnest. That will make his stories more authentic and convincing.
And that's problem number 10.He forgot the ultimate kindness that human batteries have shown him when they bestow milliions of dollars upon him each and every year, while poverty has risen on the Matrix Island!
And that's the most unforgivable problem number 11!
Agent Smith: I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.
