~*~Bad Experience (7/8/2004)...~*~
Later tat day, after the Flash workshop, I went to my ah ma hse as usual. I took a train to Somerset and then went to take bus 65 to my ah ma hse. While waiting for the bus, a black man asked mi for directions. He said " May I noe whether bus 65 got go to Little India?" and I said yes. Then after tat, he kept asking mi questions like " Wat is Ur name?", "Are U a student?", "Where am U going" and many more. I felt that it is polite if I answer some of his questions. I told him I am oso going to Little India. Then he told mi tat he is from South Africa and said tat he do not noe anybody in Singapore and asked mi to be his friend. But I didn't answer him. Then the bus 65 came and we boarded the bus. About 15 minutes, we reached Little India and I told him not to follow mi. I was afraid tat he will follow mi to my ah ma hse so I deliberately walked slower...then when he is bery far in front of mi, I u-turned and walked the longer route to my ah ma hse. I told my parents and ah ma about the bad experience and they told mi not to talk to strangers again and don have to believe wat they say.
