My breakfast was more interesting actually! This middle age Malay Pacik has been observing me when I was deciding what to fill my growling stomach with... I can feel his watchful eyes, I felt like turning abruptly and as him :"Uncle, Never see Chio girl before ah?!" But never lah!
Cos I knew it must be my arm tattoo...
Finally when I sat down diagonally beside him, he broke the awkward silence...
Our conversation went like this (reminded me of those Taxi Uncle who relentlessly wanna chat with u when U are pretending to be asleep!)
"Girl, why u dun do full round siah!?" Referring to my arm tattoo...
"Not auspicious..."
"Oh is it?! When I was younger, my mates all got tattoo, now they regret lah, some lost job blah blah blah....... " He lost me while I was busy slurping my Hot & Spicy Laksa, need to finish in 10mike! *Silence from me*
"So when u make siah!?"
Without looking up from my laksa
"More than 10yrs..."
"So long ago!!! How old are you now?!"
Now, I am not abt to reveal my age to some 50+Uncle who seemed to think himself cool (can tell he used to do body building) wearing tight fitting T-shirt.
"I am not that Young..." I forced a smile...=I
"Wow! But u look very young! How old are u this year?!"
Uncle! Bug off! I wanna eat my laksa! I repeated myself
"Oh, I am just not that young anymore..." (forced smile)
"Wau! U look very fit ah.... are you are Policewoman?"
Shake me head... if I was 1, I would have cornered him and warned for Personal Space harassment!
"You P.E.Teacher ah?!"
Shake me head... awkward silence...
"No, I am just born dark..."
FISH! Now he is persistent, after trying to know my age, now he's waiting for me to relieve my profession... Wait long long Pacik!
"Oh, what are u here for?! So young & Healthy! I'm here for 2 appt.... blah blah blah...."
He answered his own question, Good.
Silence, me finishing up my Laksa...
"Sory, I got to go now, take care of urself. Gd day."
End of my breakfast episode...Phew
So when it was my turn, I realised that it was not the handsome doc who attended to me the last time... darn! Thought can get him to take another "closer" look at my neck.... =I
I settled for a Lady doc.
Now, i get this quite often. When you see a doc, the usual 1st question is :"So.... Hw are you feeling today?" or "what is wrong with you?"
Strangers usually start off asking me this question:
"Are you are Policewoman / P.E teacher (i get the occasional OBS instructor smtimes)?"
I just proofed my point in last then 45mins since I stepped outa the house this morning!
Me usual reply "Nope, I am just born dark..." and if I sensed that the person may somewhat be more than a stranger: "Nope, I just have a natural tan and a swimmer's shoulder," I have thunder thighs too! Wanna See?!" Kekek! *Chuckles* I love the looks on their faces whenever I do that!
Anyway, I m given a Clean bill of health, just observe if any changes. Nevertheless Doc gave me an open date ... "just in case" was what she said... I am just glad for the Peace of mind.

I claim-ed to be Smarty-Pantz-Soya... I have been defeated!
Checked the Net 2 hrs before, SQ arrives at either T1 or T3. It said T1 @ cfm at 1720H.
Havent been to the airport for a long while, less the last time I went there for coffee with Ben at T3. So decided to leave the hse alittle earlier to go T3 to really walk ard... direct bus no.34 (I even checked the time that it will arrive at my bustop!) 15 mins without waiting! Supa Fast! So alighted at T3@ ard 1645H... walked ard abit... Bored at 1700H ( I really cant do shopping for nuts)! Wanted to go to T1... but How?! Duno how, no signs... so I walked and walked... looking for the Skytrain signs ... nope... dun have.... so I decided to walk to the MRT, sure it connects to T1.... CORRECT! Took the Skytrain to T1...
when I arrived, I checked the
only to learn that SQ 863 had
1) landed!
2) @ 1702H!!! &
3) at T2! Triple Whammy! WTF!

Airport vs Soya, 1 - 0
No choice, waited for Sky train again... reached the correct gate number at 1735H... Phew....
Goosh... I dun remb me picking up any1 from the apt from arrival... I just know the scene was messy... too many pple... if a barometer was in placed, it probably recorded high pressure! So much mixed emotions... actually I think I emitted most of them... butterflies in my tum tum...

The darn phone rang! hahah! ok lah... anyway I wouldnt have the guts to do that at the airport... so many pple there! What if I get into trouble with the Ak57 wrestling Airport Security! Or worst!
