The strength of a Bapok

Dad told me a story yesterday. He saw a fight between an Indian lad and a (group) of transvestite(s), or in simpler "Singaporean" terms, Bapok. (Note: I placed "group" and "s" in brackets. You'll see what I mean as you read on.)

So here goes....

He was at Changi Village when he saw the Bapok and the Indian lad starting a "drama". The Indian lad thought that he would have a "chance" with the transvestite. He decided to trick the Bapok into believing that he was a policeman and he needed to frisk "him". The Bapok did fall for it and so the lad had his chance to touch "him" all over.

But then, the Bapok thought something fishy was going on. So "he" demanded for a warrant from the Indian lad. Well, he knew he was already in deep shit, and so started the war of words. The Indian lad's friend came over to see what was happening and soon after which, the Bapok called "his" other Bapok friends. The Indian lad ran away, leaving his innocent friend behind, fighting for his life after being attacked by the group of about 10 bapoks. Breasts were revealed, heels were thrown around and of course the innocent guy begging for his life. LOL!

My dad, trying to be heroic thought that he had to stop the fight la of course. So he came up to them....

Dad: "Eh dah la tu sayang... jangan gadoh2. Kesian tau dier"
[Eh, enough la dear. Don't fight. Pity the guy]
Bapok: "Tak boleh bang. Dier mmg kurang ajar. Nak kener ajar dier cukup2"
[Cannot ah dear. This guy is very rude. We need to teach him a lesson]

Dad was trying to "sweet-talk" them to stop the fight. Explains why dad called the bapok "sayang". Dad thought that he could probably "trick" the bapok into believing the police was around the corner so that they would eventually stop beating up the poor lad.

Dad: "Eh jangan la. Police ada kat sana tau. Nanti diorg nampak."
[Eh, don't la. The police is just over there. They would see you guys fighting]
Bapok: "Eh bagos bang. Mmg nak suro police tgk pon. Padan muka dier."
[Eh, that's good. We definitely want the police to see this. Serves him right.]

Guessed, Dad's plan backfired. LOL.

Well, the lad tried running away, and eventually he got into a taxi. He locked the doors of the taxi and thought he could get away. I guess luck wasn't on his side because one of the transvestite actually stood infront of the taxi, not letting the taxi get away. The other transvestites opened the door of the front passenger seat since it wasn't locked and tried to still beat that poor lad up, even in the taxi. The taxi driver forced the lad to get out of the taxi.

Poor poor lad. Pity him though. His friend just left him to fight for his ownself. I told dad "Why didn't you record it?! I could have put it up in YouTube!" Dad said "Why didn't I thought of it?"

Haha. Father, father... you always have something to say eh. That's why I love love you :)
