Bodohlah, Why You So Like That One?

( Sung to Do Re Mi, from the Sound of Music) This song in the recent Broadway Parodies by the Actors Studio always makes me laugh. Especially when I see some bodohs. You know, the ones, those motorcyclist who veer into your path just to overtake a car, almost hitting the front end of your car and just barely swiping the side mirror? Those bodohs? In the spirit of muhibah...and broadway....

Scene 1 act 1

Ayah: jom kita gi shopping? Mid Valley, nak?
Mak,Long,Ngah,Teh and Su: Yeay! Jom!
Ayah: Ok, Long duduk belakang mak, Ngah, Teh antara Mak dan Ayah, Su dudk dalam bakul, ok?

And off they all go, a happy family of five, on the Honda...kapchai.


Scene 2 act 1
( In tamil)

Appa: Dei, Thamby! Amma ask you to go buy some curry powder...
Thamby:Ok, I take the bike, appa?
Meenachi: But anneh, you no lesen, how?
Thamby: Nevermind, short distance only....and happily takes the kapchai
Amma: ( shouting) Thamby...take the helmet lar!!!
Thamby: No need amma...near only............


Scene 3 act 1
( In cantonese/hakka/fu chow/whatever chinese dialect you can speak)

On a motorbike somewhere in the Klang Valley

Girl: Lou Kong ah, late already lah!
Boy: Aiya, don't worry Lou Poh, I know short cuts

( Bike, a kapchai, squeezes in and out of traffic, between cars, lorries and tankers, runs a few red lights, gets on side pathway....)

Bodohlah, Why You So Like That One?
