Just now when going to hawker centre for dinner, I came across this familiar looking guy. I'm sure we knew each other but couldn't recall where and when. Out neighbourly courtesy, I smiled and said hello to him. He was looked little taken aback and took moment to recognise me (I now have ponytail instead of crew cut).
He : Sir, you live here? Nice to meet you again.
Me : What did you call me? Sir? Yes, I live here, and do you live here too now?
He : No sir, I'm just changing bus on the way to visit friend.
Me : Oh alright, take care, and there's no need to call me sir anymore. I'm no longer police.
He : No sir, once a sir always a sir. Ciggies you gave me in lockup, I never forget.
Me : (smiling and tossing out a ciggie from my pack to offer him.)
He : No thanks sir, this time I offer you (tossing out a ciggie from his pack to offer me.)
Me : (I accepted and he lighted up for me.)
He : Ciggie is good but nothing compared to what I saw you did to that guy. I thank you for not doing that to me.
Me : (still trying to recall which case :* Oh it's alright, forget it, old matter long time ago. Your bus is coming and I have get going too.
