nice people are still around us

The first thing we do if we see a stranger is either ignore him or ust
pretend you don’t know anything. Well, today i went to my dad’s clinic.
My mum told me to get 3 packets fried mee at this restaurant next door,
which is next to my dad’s clinic. So i went there and sat at this table
which is situated quite close to the entrance. A big-sized middle-aged
man is sitting by the table, his face is quite angey looking. I didn’t
mind really, i sit in front of him and order my food, which is thosai
(my fav!). Suddenly he starts quarelling with the waiters, i watch.
It’s like a scene in a movie so my eyes are wide open and take it as a
cool thing. Then he stop. I nibble at some murukkus on the table, when
he greet me. I greet him back and we started talking. I realise that he
is a friendly and jovial guy. He thinks i’m a high school kid, i said
no and he thinks i’m a college kid and i still say no. And i tell him
i’m working and i’m 26. He has a shock of his life coz he thought i was
very young. I ask him why and he said coz i don’t look 26.
Oh well, my food had arrive so i star eating. yum yum! He smile and
look at me and said "you know, most people don’t dare to sit in front
of me, coz of my size and my face. But you’re the first person who
actually sit face to face with me and smile at me. You’re very brave,
girl." I just smile back and continue eating. He talks about his
family, and i talk about my family. I told him i’m a graphic designer.
His daughter studied graphic but now she’s jobless and she sits at home
watchinh the pc. I chuckle and told him i do the same thing too. We
talk and talk and talk and then he excuse himself. Few minutes later he
said that he already paid for me. I’m shock and embarrass coz it’s not
really necessary. He said it’s ok because he said he already treats me
like his own daughter. I nearly choke.

Then i went to Tesco to
get some catfood. Most of the chinese community are preaparing for
Chinese New Year so the place is kind of packed. I had to park my car
way out of the supermarket. I have fun climbing the gate to get in. And
also fun climbing back down to get to my car. I wish i can do it again.

I’m tired. Think i’ll go grab a shower.

ps - the thosai rocks that i ordered second helping… he paid for it anyway… LOL!!!
