title : cool la.
Oh my god. Something really nerve-wrecking and frightening happened today. Was on the way to Geylang to go shopping for baju raya with Mama, Hariz and Hamzah in the MRT, heading towards Paya-oh-Lebar after History lecture. Suddenly, a guy who was sitting a seat away from me slide up to the seat next to me. Then:

Guy: Hello! Can I take picture of your phone? (points to my phone)
Me: (looks at my phone blankly then stare at him) Sorry...WHAT?!
Guy: My phone cannot get picture from Internet. I want to take picture of your phone can? (points at my phone again - then I saw the tattoos on his arms, then look at his face again. Alamak. I was so scared of getting conned.)
Me: Umm...okay...(pass phone hesitantly. Watched him meddle with his phone and my phone here and there. Kept stealing glances for fear that he was going to run away with my phone or something.)
Guy: (after a few moment, passes back my phone) Haiya, cannot lah. Never mind lah. Thank you arh.
Me: *nods head in relief*
Guy: Eh, you got no cute pictures arh?
Me: Umm...nopes...
Guy: Any nice songs?
Me: *shakes head frantically*
Guy: Hip-hop? All malay song only arh?
Me: Yarr...(dalam hati, fathin puasa2 tipu!)
Guy: Okay, thanks arh. (slides back to the one-seat-away seat)
Me: Pheeeewwww...

10 seconds later (interval arh konon)

Guy: Eh, how about your bag? I take picture of your bag can?
Me: HAR?! (says to myself in silent: Wahh, this guy pervert or what? Want to take picture of everything I have or what?! Oh yar, I was downright terrified by now. Seriously.)
Me: *puts up a brave front* Oh okay sure, can.
Guy: (takes my bag, arranged it according to what he wanted, KNEELED DOWN on the floor and take picture with the bag against my side!)
Me: ALAMAAAAKK! This guy punyer betul?! Pervert kape? (worry worry like crazy, action busy message si Pkck Bathtub while trying so hard to action muke maintain.)

*train terminates at Aljunied* (both of us got out)

Then he suddenly started to story-telling, telling me his lifestory. His girlfriend's pay, his pay, their jobs, then the date they planned to get engaged. (I was completely bewildered yet amused by now.) Then he started showing me his picture with the girlfriend. Then funny, funny:

Guy: (points to girlfriend in photo) Out of all my ex-girlfriend right, this one the most ugly. Really! But this one has the nicest heart. (touches his heart)
Me: *in silent* AWWWWWW.....(terharu lahh!)
Guy: People all see me, they thought I very young. You look at me. (points to his face) You try to guess what's my age? Guess lah, come lah, guess!
Me: Umm...24??
Guy: I'm 31 years old.
Me: HUH?! REALLY ARH?! You look so young you know! (chey chey, someone no longer scared out of her wits, can talk like old friends ready. =p)
Guy: Don't believe? (takes out his WALLET, showed me his NRIC and driving license! So trusting arh this guy. Maybe because I've got the good-girl look. Ehem! =D)
Me: *nods head frantically and repeatedly*
Guy: Yalah, so far, no one ever guess thirty and above. The highest only 27 years old.
Me: Wahh, yar, you really look very young.

Then we talked some more for awhile till the MRT came. All the way until Paya Lebar, which was just one stop away lah.

Man, if only I'd asked for his name, then it would be a new friend made. Extreme cool riiight?
Never mind. Hopefully his application is accepted. Then can see him at Causeway Point. hahaha!

See, amazing what stereotyping and prejudice can do. I saw a tattooed and 'Ah Beng' like man, and immediately I thought of him as a pervert and an opportunist. I thought of so many negative things about him when he turns out to be one of the nicest and friendliest Chinese guy I've met. (I wished I could apologise to him man. =/)

So anyways, I've finally finally gotten the COLOUR of the baju raya I've been wanting. I've been buying baju raya of all sorts of colours, but not what I wanted for three years now. So finally, syukur dah tak jadi anak dara cerewet lagi. =D







To you:
Thank you wak, for everything.
Yesterday night was memorable because you really touched my heart with your words.
I only regret not knowing you so much earlier.
Truly, you're one of the best I can ever ask for. =)





The next update shall be about PW.
I've got so much to share. *glees delightfully like an imp*


I'm just waiting for end of Mid-Course now. =D
I hope you cheer up soon. =)
