Surreal

I have unfinished business and here I am, finding time to blog about something. Whee~~ I think I'm losing track of time and day and almost everything that seems important but not really important things to me. I'm actually paying my friend to do my assignment for me this semester. How pathetic is that! Sometimes we have to find ways to make things work.

CNY is almost coming to an end, tomorrow's Chap Goh Mei, also Chinese V-Day. It's going to be a really ordinary and dull day for me cos I'll be having a test that evening. Maybe I can have a happy and sweet lunch with my Hon! Kakaka.

I had a mysterious and surreal encounter the day I came back to KL. An old man of about 60 approached me. He was trying to strike a conversation with me. And I really tried my best to ignore him, but he still kept on talking. Of all people... why me? Don't know why. So he was yapping away about his children and hometown. So I got to know that he's from Kuching and a businessman in Brunei. The freakiest thing was that he said that he wanted to make me his god-daughter. Holy shit! For real? You're just a bloody stranger! So I just laughed and jokingly told him to tell my father. Sheesh! So we went into the waiting area and he asked me to look after his bag while he went to the toilet. I said ok. Silly, right? There might be something bad inside that bag!

So he came out... finally. And he sat two seats next to me. He handed me an angpow. I was shocked. I know I'm not supposed to feel so but I was! I said no... and he insisted. He said it's still CNY. I said no and he insisted. It happened for a while and a few people sitting across us were looking. So out of Paise-ness, I took it and said thanks. Many things crossed my mind when I took the angpow. First, what was he thinking? Second, was he expecting anything in return? Third, how could he assumed that I'm his god-daughter now? I didn't even said yes.

So before boarding, I went to the toilet and out of curiosity, I checked the angpow. I opened it. Eh? Not Agong's head. A Chinese man's head. RMB? Don't know. So I pulled it out and it was a Singapore Dollar. $50! I was shocked. That's equivalent to a hundred plus! So I went out and acted normal. Bla bla bla, we arrived and he went off.

The whole event seems like a puzzle. I really don't know what was he thinking. Could it be just a friendly approach or was there something sinister? Hmm...
