preface

我叫呢啲做 post holiday syndrome。not me。but people in general。and me being the bum。成日喺街行嚟行去。好容易。get infected。since Jan 1 this year。all kind of weird things happened to me。我開始發覺。自己嘅容量大咗。比着以前。晨早就爆炸。前幾日果啲。好複雜。比較容易理解嘅。有：

個案一

a friend of mine. in his 50s. got jumped by 7 kids in their 20s. near NO 2 Road and Blundell. probably after midnight. i saw him with a black eye few days ago. and as he recalled. he did not know those kids. and they were ambushing him. caught him in the middle of the road on his bike. and started beating him up. for no reason.

at the time being. there were no one else around. my friend. as he recalled. fought back. for self defense. and for a moment. they heard a police siren. and the kids ran away. while my friend's eye was bleeding. whether the kids had injuries or not i am not sure. anyways. police eventually arrived. and my friend complained to me. the police was not offering immediate medical help. even his eye was bleeding. but told him to get off the street instead. (the neutrality of his testimony at the point where he departed from the authority. or vice versa. has yet to be verified) he also stated to me. that the police had misinterpreted him as being drunk.

個案二

another day another guy was telling me he was harassed by the police. he said he was just getting off the bus and they threatened him. for no reason. again. (i dunno anymore) he said he will look for a witness and gonna press charge on the officers.

(先頭講果兩個都係 Richmond 嘅地藏菩薩。you see them gathering right by Save On every day.）

個案三

my turn. Today. Jan 6, 2010. i cashed in my bottles. and walked out of the depot. some guy started talking to me. and asked me: i need some money now. what do i do.

he looked just like one of the Richmond street person. riding a somewhat self altered mountain bike with no helmet. and mainly. he is Caucasian. he looked a little rough. but sincere. so. i started sharing my street smart with him. and i was about to give him a prep talk of all the bylaws which he should know before digging into someone's garbage can and dumpster. and he told me: he is a policeman. so i am like

(A) "YOU ARE A POLICEMAN" i said
(B) "why did you lie to me in the first place" i thought (*)
(C) remain silent. watch and listen very carefully

(*) only one reason i can think of is that i have been surfing the net too much my eyes must have given me a drug addict look. or the second reason is: sometimes a policeman also needs some quick cash. and he continued to tell me. there are lots of people who really need help. and emphasized that he wanted to be my friend.

and how he ended that conversation. is nothing like i have ever heard before,"i am going to walk away from you now. i am going to walk away from you now." and in fact. he was standing there. with no intention to move. waiting for me to move first. so i had to move. cause. honestly. i don't want nothing to do with a cop (*) (maybe. unless. its a female cop. but still. are you going to have dinner with me in the dumpster) either he really is undercover. or he is crazy. or drunk. or on drug. and i did thought about asking him for some ID. but somehow. his aura made me walked away. there is something in him. that i do not have. (i myself will never say to anyone i am a police officer because i am not and its not a joke for me)

(*) and if he really is undercover. why would he want to disclose to me. i cannot think of any other reason. except that. he is a drunk undercover police officer who is crazy and on drug (just kidding my friend) and when i was preaching him with the bylaws. he was offended in his heart.

RCMP Secure Line

i have been approached twice by the RCMP within the past 5 years concerning me reporting to them any criminal activities i might have witnessed in the neighborhood. using one of their "secure" line. (if you can name it secure. you pretty much know how secure it really is) 想羅我命咩。first time. i put her business card (female cop from gangster investigation)(*) into the washing machine. with all my dirty clothings. (i can hardly remember if that was intentional or by mistake) second time. i said no. right on the spot. to this aboriginal guy. constable. or sergeant. with full uniform. on a police bike. 我唔係民族英雄。OK。i didn't say that. just sort of move on with my shopping cart full of recyclables. even years later. i still remember one of his last words: you don't have to put up with that. and i thought: i never had to put up with anything. you are the cop i am not.

(*) they had like all these vans in black with shaded windows and they went in a single file like an army after midnight. i was binning right at the elementary school on Cook Road. and they moved into the parking lot. one by one. it took them at least 15 - 30 second to settle down. at some point i thought they were gangsters themselves. until this really nice and kind female cop in a short sleeve t-shirt (not just a t-shirt but with pants. like jeans maybe. but since she was in a car i could not see the rest) said its the police.

個案四（又係我）

few days ago. broad daylight. rush hours. traffic jam. some European looking guy drove by me in a mini van. maybe SUV. at Garden City and Westminster. rolled down his window. i looked at him. and he spitted right onto my face (*). and took off. 我有乜嘢反應。即時嚟講。梗係。望實佢個車牌。and then. tried to remember the first 3 numbers. but missed the last 3 letters. and kept walking. trying to calm down. like nothing happened. and 15 minutes later. i arrived at the Richmond Bottle Depot. grabbed a napkin. and wiped his saliva off. most of them already dried out. only a few spots left on my glasses.

(*) the reason he spitted onto my face. according to him was, "this bum pushing the shopping cart was in my way. i honked him. he did not move. i had nothing to say to him. so i spitted onto his face and took off." the reason i am whining is: that car looked expensive. and that guy looked educated. the saliva which came out of his mouth. ended up onto my face. made me stop thinking for 15 minutes. like i went up to nirvana and i forgot all of my problems. the pain level in my mind went up so high i was actually smiling within (whether any muscles on my face were moving along with the thought of smiling i cannot conclude) if i were to put that specific experience in words at LYK right now.

NOT MY OPIUM WAR

considered the amount of license plate number i had (an intention) to remember. and how many new kids. are selling drugs. on the street. and how many of them do not care. whether they are talking to a bum. or a undercover. and since i am a nobody. i pretty much forgot every single car who approached me and offered me free drug sample or "the number to call in the future just in case". all of which i refused. or every single drug deal i have witnessed AND FORGOT ABOUT at the back alleys. the people and the vehicle involved at which location and time. and if you are. on the criminal side. and you are reading this. you know where i am standing. OK. god. if the police is reading this. they are gonna charge me for withholding information (which i have made myself forget) and the obstruction of justice (i rather be charged than be killed) and impeding a police investigation (i mean you guys are constantly busting them) (and YOU guys never stop selling) i dont think this is ever gonna change at all. considered people on both sides are doing a really good job.

暫時無嘢講 (just a reminder: i have a medical record of chronic schizophrenia so don't just believe my every single word) and i guess i will consider not posting this social political sensitive article onto a public forum tomorrow but not today (and if the authority ever had a chance to look at this they might or might not delete this whole thing from the public database for a reason which i absolutely have no control over) but now i can press a button. turn off the computer. and go to bed.

Just OT ...

This morning, when I was listening to radio ..

A couple in washington, start to collect Cans/bottles etc for their wedding in June...

So far, they have collected ~ 18,000 cans/bottles and ~ $3500 US, and they target to collect 400,000 cans/bottles, so they can have ~$80,000!!

SO, ~ half yr $80,000 US ... I wonder if they are doing it FULL TIME .. or just PART TIME!!!

Could be .. I did google about it .. they are actually from Spokane, Washington, young people too, ( look like in their 20's ) they said they want to get marry, but they want to "work" for it, so plan to collect 400,000 bottles/cans in 6-7 month ..

That remind me another TV show I saw, (may be not real) some 流浪漢 in US, making $100K plus a yr, just to collect bottles/can and cleaning windshield on the street .. one of those 流浪漢 showing his BENZ SL, his house with swimming pool ......
