The fishball mee uncle collected $2 from me and told me to sit down first. Twenty minutes later he came up to me and said, "Young man,
maybe I got not enough fishballs ten minutes later. If liddat I'll just give you meatballs."
I said, "KNN la uncle. Simi LJ
maybe. Don't have enough means don't have. Then you just give me back my $2 and I'll go order from another stall. I don't want meatballs. You say
maybe. Then I have to wait another ten minutes to know the outcome. Don't waste my time."
Maybe next time I order from him I be guai lan. I order, "Uncle,
maybe I want mee pok.
Maybe I want tar one.
Maybe I want mai hiam.
Maybe I don't want tau gay.
Maybe I sitting at table 55
maybe 23. But just cook for me first la then we see how ok."
