Stupid Kid
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 11:30 am
On Sunday, I brought my wife out riding.
Along the journey, something happened which made me angry even until today. I was riding slowly, and 50m away, a Wish Taxi has unloaded its passengers along a left bender. One of its passengers is a tall, 20+ indian with spiky hair, and skinny jeans, who I shall call SK from now on.
I had already changed lane to avoid the taxi's lane, but still rode cautiously as from my 12 years of road experience in Singapore, I know that idiots like to cross even when vehicles are clearly oncoming.
Well, SK seemed bent on crossing the road, even when I was clearly oncoming. To make thing worse, he seems to walk slowly, without an effort to make a dash. It seems that he expected me to stop for him.
I sounded my horn twice, and slowed down just in case the idiot really had no intention to stop at all. Then, when I was 2m away from him, he suddenly did a High kick in my direction! And it nearly missed my wife! I was so fucking angry that I stopped as quickly as I can by the side of the road, and checked if my wife is ok. I got off my bike, and really wanted to bash SK's head inside out. I shouted, "Chee-B**... Come here!"
By this time, SK was already on the other side of the road. But, 3 of his friends(they were from the same taxi) were just about 20m away from me, on my side of the road. To my shouting, SK turned around, looked at me, and showed me his middle finger. I took a look at his friends, with obvious rage in my face, and told them to bring SK over to me. All 3 of them looked shocked, and obviously they did not want a piece of the action.
I was about to cross the road when 2 things happened.
1) SK turned around and made a sprint to don't know where it was...
2) My wife pulled me back and told me that if I were to beat him up, I would then be a criminal.
SHIT! She could really talk sense into me. All the things that I worked for, everything that I represented in life, would be blown into pieces if I succumbed to this temptation of beating up an obviously worthless kid who could not defend himself against me even if he tried.
I jolly well know that I just need one attempt to knock him out. But, was this punch gonna be worth it? I knew that SK is no fighter, just from the way that he kicked. His CG is all wrong, there was no shift in bodyweight at all, and, the thing is, he really looked as if he tried his best. Well, I don't wanna spoil my fight record by taking down an untrained, young and stupid kid.
I gave myself 2 days to forget about this incident, but I can't. Hopefully by ranting about it like a bitch in a forum, I would not be as pissed anymore.
