T'was nice to see you

I think I might have offended someone when I was out earlier.

There I was in a queue at the cashier waiting for my turn to pay. In the background, I could hear a couple talking rather loudly behind me about how lecturers usually 'close one eye' when marking their students' work. I continued looking forward while trying to register whose voice it was. Two seconds later, everything seemed so obvious.

I turned around to check how accurate I was. Spot on. The man I would love to hate smiled in front of me. I initiated the conversation,

"I thought it was you."

His smile grew wider but with a pinch of sleaziness, as usual. He responded,

"You recognised my voice! That's so sweeeeet."

I just could not look at him in the eyes so I tried to distract myself by taking my purse out of my handbag while saying,

"Actually, it is quite, scary." (Honestly, it is!)

His sleazy smile disappeared so I quickly paid my bill at the cashier and wished him goodbye.

i'm back (at least for now)

I think it's about time to erase the Iranian president's face off my latest post. I have to be honest here, I actually have no thoughts of writing anything interesting right now (as if they were all interesting previously!). But I've been thinking, I know that I used to write a lot in the past. I think I could be rather funny and I think I could write fairly well. Hmm, maybe it's time to pick up on the old hobby again.

So what's been up with me lately? I bought a new computer and now I should have more motivation to do what I had been wanting to do whilst I had restricted internet access at home. I have also started realising my dream (though I'm thinking of baby steps right now) of launching my own (or rather my family's own) eatery/bakery! My family and I have been selling brownies for the past one month and we are very grateful that the demand has been pretty wonderful.

Of course I just turned 20 something a week ago. Nothing has changed as I'm still the same old person. As of now, I'm a full time soul seeker until further notice.

Glad to be writing again.
