Encounters

Nowadays I'm developing headaches whenever I board the bus.
So much for calling the man pampered when he claimed after having driven for a few years now, it gets uncomfortable to take public transport.

But today I opted for a bus ride to school.
Apart from the usual dizziness, I've been having weird encounters with strangers.
Like this afternoon, an Indo woman beside me turned to me and said, 'Kamu tahu ngak gi mana gue boleh mms?'
To which I replied, 'Waduh, gue ngak tahu sih. Ngak bisa mms sih. Tahu sms saja.'
We exchanged a few lines but I think she sensed my discomfort and called her friend instead.

And just a few weeks ago, on the way to tuition, a Thai woman who sat beside me in the bus asked for directions and she got a little chatty, 'I'm from Thailand.. You been to Thailand? I just come here yesterday.'

Am slowly starting to believe that my face has been imprinted with an invisible message 'MAIDS! Come talk to me!' Hahaha.

Talk about encounters.
Last week my tutee stormed into class shouting expletives 'Fuck. Cibai.'
Yeah, he was punished by the teacher next door so he came into my class venting his anger.
Teenagers are so full of angst nowadays. I can't understand why actually, not as if they have to work in some jungle to put food on the table.
Which reminded me of some secondary school mats at my void deck who cheekily asked if 'Kak, ada lighter?'

Haiz. Apa nak jadi?!
Weishemo! Weishemo!
