Thank You

Most of us have been brought up to be well-mannered and to say "Thank You" whenever necessary. The words come out from our mouth so naturally and spontaneously that sometimes we ourselves do not realise that the two-word-phrase has been spoken.

Usually, I would say "Thanks" when someone pass me something, no matter how small the object is.

Today, as I'd told Patrick and sno, a traffic police wrote me a summon. After much arguments which proved to be failed self-defence, the traffic police handed me my summon. As usual, I felt like saying "Thank You" but this time I swallowed the words back in. I wonder what would it mean should I utter those words after being given a summon.

Anyway, now I would like to thank the traffic police for the great experience I had with him.

Dear Uncle Police:

Thanks for giving me a big shock when you signalled for me to pull over at the side of the road when I strongly believed that I had done nothing wrong. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to practise and improve my self-defending verbal skills (although I still failed to convince you that you should give me a second chance considering I'm a student). Thanks for drawing all the attentions of the public to me when they drove past us. Thanks for reminding me that ensuring the road tax hasn't expired is the responsibility of the car user. Thanks for spoiling my mood for the whole day and depriving me of my appetite (so that I can keep myself slim). And a million thanks for the whole new experience in my process of stepping into the adult world where I will have to handle all things by myself.



So long KST gang. I hope you guys can keep thinking positively and look on the brighter side of the world, albeit this is often easier said than done. I don't manage to do this all the time also. Just try your best.
