JUST WHAT IS UP WITH PEOPLE NOWADAYS?I was waiting for my bus down to town today, where i arranged to meet Yue Xiang. I was just minding my own business while silently cursing the swelteringly hot weather, when i felt that there was someone standing very close to me. Instinctively, i looked around for the source of the intrusion and then a guy in his late twenties steps in front of me. Guy: *stammering* Um....hi, i was just...um...wondering...um, if i could know your name? Don't worry, i....really don't.....Me: *speechless, glaring suspiciously at the guy from the corner of my eye*Guy: Um, no, i don't mean anything, i just....Me: NO. *moves away*Guy: *steps closer* No,no, i just-Me: I don't WANT to tell you my name and i don't see WHY i should.Guy: Oh...right...sorry, i........Luckily, my bus came along, and i walked away even before he finished his sentence........................................WHAT IN THE WORLD IS YOUR PROBLEM??? ASIDE FROM INVADING MY PRIVATE SPACE, YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY POKING YOUR NOSE IN WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG. AND WHY IN THE WORLD CAN'T YOU READ MY ABSOULTELY DISSATISFIED EXPRESSION AND JUST SCOOT? I don't really care what his intention was, but it was bad enough for him to be standing so close when i didn't even know who the heck he was. Good thing nothing worse happened; the bus stop was packed full of people anyway.I don't care if anyone thinks i'm exaggerating, but it would have been dumb of me to just keep quiet. I didn't want to be rude but his persistent questioning really was the last straw. Mdm Cho, if you happen to be reading this, then you'll know that our Women in Literature essays are actually quite substantiated to a certain extent. Disclaimer: I do not mean to generalise all men; majority of the males that i've met are quite okay, save for a few like these who constantly remind me that girls have to be on their guard. Despicable.
