= LifE Of a GaL =

hey. haha. thanks for the big reponse on my shoutbox. er, didn't expect it to come alive all of a sudden like this. correction to my previous entry by airen: halter instead of hauter.

alright. let's start with today. today was a great day. i went for interview at a job agency, hopefully this means i have more hope in getting a job. it was at orchard, so i decided to buy some lunch back home.

the best thing in life: sitting in front of tv, watching initial d stage four dvds, and drink Bundaberg root beer, eating sushi: salmon maki, salmon sushi, crab mayo sushi, prawn roe sushi. hmmmm. such a luxury. totally cool. and that's my favourite root beer.

something to mention about yesterday. i went to register for basic theory for driving. spent about 20 bucks. comfort driving centre is such a monopoly. oh well. to make the best use of the money i paid, i think i might have to start learning practical driving. there goes the money i saved last year. see first.

then after that i went home to grab my grandaunt's vcds for returning, and went to wait for the bus to my grandaunt's house at the bus stop just downstairs from my house. and suddenly this guy asked me the time, so i took out my hp (i dun wear watch nowadays) and told him. and then. he started talking to me. eh, okie lah, it's not first time that a stranger suddenly talk to me, so i just chatted with him while waiting for the bus. blahblah.

so after that, the bus honked, meaning it's about to leave, so i went off saying goodbye to him. (he's a malay guy i think, in his 30s). then something flashed across my mind, the bus stop only have 1 bus service, most prob he's getting on the bus too? so i turned my head towards him, and saw that he stuck out a hand to initiate handshake... so naturally, being polite, i shook his hand. and the next thing that happened, he shook my hand, then raised his hand to his mouth level and kissed my hand. i was kind of taken aback, and after that he says nice to meet you, my name is Davy (or however u spell it). i smiled and said me too, bye! then i went onto the bus. then he walked away from the bus stop.

okie. taken aback, cos no guy kissed my hand or what before k... i was thinking it might be some custom in the malay culture. whatever loh, nutting much, i am quite open, singapore is a multi racial society after all, we should be able to accept all customs and cultures. that's what makes us unique. but nevertheless, the first thing on my mind when i boarded the bus was to wash my hands when i reach my grandaunt's house. after all, hygiene is quite important as well, from the point of a first aider. haha.

and i wondered. cos he walked away from the bus stop after i boarded the bus, i wondered why did he sit down at the bus stop when he's not waiting for a bus. many possible reasons, but i dun think a guy in his 30s will be interested in a girl like me, guess he just wanna make friends, or just waiting for a certain time to meet someone nearby.

can say that i believe people very easily. but i also believe no point shutting yourself out to the world, especially when someone approaches you on his own accord. just keep in mind, be careful, never reveal any important info about yourself, then making another friend in this world also doesn't matter much. =)

(never say your address, your phone number, and other important information on money matters like how much u earn haha) this is no wonder i am teaching crime prevention for st john in my corps huh? all kinds of crap.
