Week 19

Toting horns = Cat-whistle?

This is something i find really amusing. On Wed when i walked out of the gate, this mini lorry toted its horn. There was only me and the lorry, no other soul or vehicle ard so i guess he was horning at me? Plus the driver AND his passenger, 2 middle-aged uncles had their necks craned in my direction.... This is NOT the first time this has happened. And since I was not breaking any traffic law, just minding my own business & rushing along the pavement.... my guess is that they were horning because their 1) their middle-aged aphrodisiac glands were out-of-order or 2) their eyesight was too poor that they mistook an ugly duckling for a swan or 3) the morning sunlight was too glaring for their eyes that they were seeing things.

Leng says it has never happened to her. The only time she notices more stares is when we're tog, so i really shld feel flattered.... Ya, but how can I be flattered when i'm attracting middle-aged uncles in their dingy lorries or at the kopi-tiam!! It shldn't be working that way! My fairy godmother has got it all mixed up. Where are the young, handsome, charming man out there? Haha, aphrodisiac me.

Not that I would have given them a chance anyway, but it does feel good to be appreciated sometimes.....most importantly it would be flattering........ for my Mum ;-)

But I really want to hear it from the girls.... do they encounter such incidents? Are ppl out there just so "bo liao" or I just happen to have an affinity with these "bo liao" ppl?

This jogs back a memory during Cedar days. Cedarians usu. flood the bus stop at after school hours (looks like a flood cos we're all blue). One fine day I was standing in the crowd and this truckload of lion-dance troopers were stuck in the traffic abt 20m away. They started shouting "mei nu" etc. etc. and whistling at the Cedarians.....AND THEN......

somebody shouted...."chuan jacket de!!!"

There was only me.....and only me, in my blue windbreaker at the bus stop....The trauma from being singled out like that!!! I could only pretend I didn't hear them. That's my usual form of self-defense, "see no evil, hear no evil" They're trying to get ur attention, why give it to them?

The same thing applies to meeting perverts. I remember meeting a flasher at the same memorable bus stop once, but that's another story for another day :D

~ Today i had lunch with J at Engin canteen again. For dinner i was with P at Mac. Yesterday I "dined" with WHao and D at the Deck. I hope i get lunch engagements every other day. Today's an accomplishment because I managed to squeeze a successful study session with P. Will do it again nx wk~
