helping hand

was sleeping on the bus while on way back from gcb
then a blind guy sat behind me, he was much bigger size than me

he is asking for bus stop but i cant recognise the road at night.
he asked me to play with his hp, to locate some files etc.

initially i was quite pissed off. he could tell me which file he is looking for and i will switch it for him. but he keep asking to enter this file, exit this file etc.

suddenly he asked if we are at bt timah, i was quite surprise cos the bus just turned into bt timah! and he alighted..

the blind is blind in his eyes but not in his heart. we, although can see but is blind at heart. we then to see things via own view but not from the views of others

but when i asked my dad how to address her daughter, he told me out-of-scope...

can anyone help me?

2)my姨丈 knows my 大伯. well, my mom is my ah yi's sister.. i am wonder if my ah yi married my yi zhang then my yi zhang intro my dad to her. (provided they play together)

this is going to be a mystery...

3) when we drove cross bridges, we will tell the deceased 'hey we crossing bridge loh'
why ah?

4) the taoist speaks lao hong hokkien, there are a lot of words which i cant make out what he said. dad said if he speaks normal hokkien, later got a lot of loopholes of his hokkien.

5) the band played 'wo wen tian' and '12 lotus'. i wonder y no play 'xue mei si jun'

6) i wonder y i wonder so many whys...
