Quite a while back, when i was still at that God-forsaken uni, i decided to go MidValley one Friday afternoon.
By my self.
Yes, by my self.
And every single person i knew whom i bumped into while on the way there n AT MidV, HAD to ask me "aLOnE?!"
No offence, but, Whats wrong with that?!
OK, ya. Lots of peeps say its dangerous. (Thnx alot for ur concern)
I dunno.....
For me its like, what could happen? Theres gonna be lots of other peeps with me on the bus...
Even with taxis its the same.
I noe that lots could happen....
Alot of people have been kidnaped or ahemahem by taxi drivers, or ppl who pose as taxi drivers....
But it never really sinks in for me.
My dad n bro Always make me msg them the taxi no. whenever i wanna take one home.
I once got scolded by my bro for not doin so.
Even though i took one of those taxis Pyramid assigns to the shoppers...
N my house is about 5 mins away...
I seldom worry or suspect any of the taxi drivers....(except one who got me worried after a well, he seemed like he was drooling and talked to me about wanting to sleep in a errr worrying way?....;) maybe i was over reacting)
Or well, i use not to....
And yet, everyday in the papers we see stuff like dat...
Rape, murder, rape, murder, murder, rape n murder,......
How sick has the world come to?
Just try one paper. Any one paper....the amount of sick news in Just ONE day is enough to scare the living daylights out of any parent with daughters...
My dad was just talkin to me today about how he used to hitch-hike in the UK....
A whole group of them would start from one point, and meet at the nex..
But they din do it together (ofcourse, wat car could take 60ppl?)
They'd maybe do it in pairs....
Even the girls...
But imagine hitch-hiking in these times...
Imagine a couple of girls back packing across Europe, or anywhere, in this, the 21st century...
Itd just be a bet between whether u meet a serial killer or a serial rapist first...
As time passes, countries develop, nations develop (i think they're the same thing), people climb to greater heights, olympic records are broken.
So i guess, humans great need to surpass themselves in everything includes the no. of people that can be raped in one night?
we never do expect bad things to happen to us rite?
Its always, some guy from subang, or my neighbour's wifes ( ;) ) 3rd cousin twice removes' kindergarten teachers childhood best friends ex lovers niece.... who got rolled over by a car after a small argument.
Its never ur kid sister who gets raped n murdered by a security guard...
But that was Someones mother n someones sister...
If u are a good person, bad things will happen to u.
Bad things happen to good people...
Confused? haha, i veered off course...
OK, back to goin MidValley alone.
Well (im sensitive ;) ) im guessin that most of them meant: "aLOnE?!?! Wat have u no Life? No friends?!"
;)
Eventhough that might be true, but its beside the point. =)
I go shopping alone (yes alone) because ITS SO MUCH EASIER THAT WAY!!!
I can go anywhere I want, try on anything, TAKE AS MUCH TIME AS I NEED, talk to myself, laugh at myself, spend half n hour in the changin room figuring out whether to get the pink or the yellow! (Ya rite! Yellow la! hehehe)
Its sad to go to the movies alone, yes. (well it is...if u r an insecure loser like me...)
But then, u get to pick ur Own movie, ur time, n u wont have anyone repeating the scenes to u that u cant say Shhhh to. (its so much harder when the disrupters are ur own friends!)
Like today. Was suppose to go shoppin with my bros gf, n movie was high on my itinary(sp?)!
But due to wat was considered time constraints, the much awaited chick-flick was cancelled...
If I had been there by myself, i wudnt have cared chocolatecake who wants to have dinner wen!
Id definitely have gone for my movie!!
But it still is kinda pathetic goin to the movies alone...
Thats why i asked my crush out! ;)
hahaha...dun think it'll happen though...
Oh well.
nitez all.
