the trocks
a 14 man...and i do mean 'men' ballet company is coming to singapore in september. i'm still contemplating whether i should go despite the exhorbitant prices of the tickets. it would be nice to see how 14 men can pull off a swan lake like performance. they'll be en pointe which isn't something that we normally witness at a ballet performance. hrm....it's something that i should seriously consider.i forgot to mention my run in with some african dude in the bus on route back to singapore. this tall african dude who doesn't speak english very well wanted to bum a cigarette off me so being the nice person that i am i just obliged. then he comes back asking me whether he can sit with me and that's when i started to realize that this dude is big trouble. so when i got on the bus i immediately sidled my way into a single seater seat to get out of having to sit next to him or anyone else on the bus for that matter. even after making it really obvious that i wanted to be alone and sleep he kept bugging me...asking me whether i wanted to sit next to him. is it just me or are foreigners really bad with rejection? anyway...long story short...i just ignored him all the way to johor and even after i got off the bus at johor and he tried to talk to me and follow me into singapore i just completely ignored him. i guess i finally got the picture just before we reached customs where he got off and was never to be seen again.
why am i always a target for freaks without a leash? i try to keep to myself and go my way unnoticed but i still get freaks who don't speak english and taxi drivers on my back. ugh...i just wanna be left alone. anyway...after that incident on the bus i have to reconsider going back so often. now i know what people mean when they say it's not safe on a bus. not only are we in danger of being involved in an accident...i'm also in danger of freaks on the loose. but heck...i can take care of myself pretty well....i hope :)
