I wanna share this horrifying experience i had today. my hair raises just by recalling what had happened.
woke up in the morning, like just other working days. just that it's not so early -6.50am, but still considered early for someone who treat sleeping as a hobby like me. im on training leave today! gonna attend "living with 5Cs" course @ Connection One building. got myself to Bukit Merah bus Interchange @ 9.05am, when we were suppose to be there by 9am. i was late, and so was shafa. after we met up, we walked hurriedly to the building, which is just opposite the interchange. Well, i was all concentrated about reaching the building asap, cause i seriously wanted to pee, so concentrated that i did not realise some one was looking at us. i only get to know his presence when he suddenly, out of no where, popped out to ask us some questions that i believe normal mankinds won't ask, especially early in the morning, when ppl are rushing to work, school and stuffs.
He asked, "where are you going? This building? for?". Initially, i thought that's his way of greeting people who walked passed him. and of course i know i dont look like im lost. so i answered friendly, " yea, for a course". He asked another question " oh are u all medical students?". I Meant, im not wanting to be pinocchio, just that i thought there's no reason why i have to tell you anything about myself, so i replied, "hmmm... yea.". I thought that would have end off my conversation with him, but no, it did not. we entered one of the 2 lifts that was ready to serve passengers, which we chose the 1 further, which means we had to walk a little more before we reach the lift. He followed! Well, i did not say he can't use the same lift as us. The atmosphere just came so not right when he said he wanted to make friend with me! He told me he is working @ level 8. He even asked what time will our course end, and said wanted to wait for me. I was so freaked out! Immediately, i told him, "no i cant, we're rushing time." He got like a little panicky, asking himself " oh, where is my name card, where is my name card?" He did not get out of the lift when the lift door opened @ his working level, the lift door closed. I could hear my heart beated loudly, increasingly in the rate. As soon as the lift door opened @ level 18, we quickly rushed out and get ourselves into the WRONG room! Diao! haha. but eventually found the right room la.
i thought it's gonna be over, and i will not see him again. but once again, I was wrong. When we had a tea break outside the room, we saw him hanging around the level! I could feel blood rushing up my head. I actually wanted to pee, but i tortured my bladder instead.
Lunch is not provided, hence we had to get out of the building to hunt for our own food. I was still very afraid to see him. But when i got to the lift lobby, i scanned through the lobby, "The Coast Is Clear". I was relief. phew! Then we decided to settle our lunch @ KFC, headed there straight. On our way there, Shafa happened to look behind, and to our horror, HE WAS BEHIND FOLLOWING US!! Our foot steps got faster and faster, almost like as if we're getting ready for a 200m sprint. But, UNFORTUNATELY, he was able to catch up. He kept saying he wanted to make friend with me, wanting to give me his name card. i did not talk to him, i shook my head, like how ppl usually reject promoter on the street. He followed us very closely, but we were smart enough to quickly make our way into the "quite Packed with people" KFC. He waited outside! I was super stress lor. Shafa offered to buy food for me. So kind of her, but what i was afraid of was that man appraching me when she's not around. So when shafa is not around, i anticipate my actions if he ever come close me. I tot if he were to come close me, i would get help from the next table, telling them to help me, explaining to them that i do not know him, but he kept pestering me. that was my plan! true enough, he came to me, i looked away, he left his name card on the table, and left. PHEW! I was close to getting help from indian couple at the next table. Good that he left, else he will have to face embarrassing scene, specially "well-planned" and created by me. haha!
that was the last time i saw him. i honestly did not look at his face directly ever since i saw him this morning. but what i remembered vividly is his bar-code head!
Well, as for the name card, i threw it with the chicken bones. I guess his name was franklin? was it? who cares. =p
