the pot calling the kettle black

the idiom of the day is 'the pot calling the kettle black'. so what does it mean? it means 'a situation in which one person criticizes another for a fault he/she has him/herself'. for example, A accused B for lying but A was a liar as well. in this case, B would have the right to say to A 'the pot calling the kettle black'. in mandarin, it is written as either '五十步笑百步' or '乌鸦笑猪黑'.

malaysians are thoughtful?

let me tell you all a story. once upon a time, there were these carlsberg driver and his truck. the driver was a hardworking man and delivered the goods in time. then, one day, he was travelling on north-south expressway, as usual, delivering goods. it was a rainy day, our carlsberg driver was tired and dozing off. he was 'fishing' while driving. his eyelids were half opened. his sight became blurry. he couldn't make out what was in front of him. sure enough, it was a car. the truck driver was nervous and swerved to the right. his truck rammed into the rail and landed sideway. the truck driver was in shock but managed to climb out from the truck. some helpful guy called the ambulance and police. soon, the driver was sent to the hospital, suffering from minor injuries.

well, guess what? some passers-by stopped their cars in the middle of the road and started helping themselves. as you can see in the photos. i am not saying whether they were right or wrong. but still, i found it very amusing that everyone was carrying at least a carton of beer! you couldn't blame them, you know. nowadays, one carton of beer costs around RM100.00. the anonymous guy in the picture have gotten himself a whooping RM300.00 worth of beer! good for him? yes? no? thoughtful? helpful?

judge it yourself. of course, one picture is not enough to represent the whole community. this is posted just for everyone's amusement.
