2 days ago:

I was looking down about 45 degrees on the road walking and talking to Bud (My Israeli friend) when I saw this black man coming towards me from the corner of my eye.. He not-so-obviously purposely bumped into me and said sth like, "what are you doing? Blocking the way blablabla.." and all the while, he was grabbing my arm lightly. I was still on the phone.. and i wanted to move to the other side but he continued grabbing my arm.. so i pulled away quickly and continued chatting with my friend. Because I thought it was by accident, I did not scream at him. But as I thought about it more and more, I realised that the man was... ARGGHGHGHG.. I wanted to kick him.

I was feeling really upset thinking what could have happened if it happened all over again and this is what would have happened.

Option 1: Scream as loud as I can (Never mess with a singer aka soprano... SERIOUSLY)

Option 2: speak in my fiercest most Ah lian tone "DON'T TOUCH ME LAH. LIKE THAT ALSO SHIOK AR?! SO DESPERATE SIAAAA." and then if he doesn't let go, Scream and even better, squeeze a few tears. It always works in a crowded place.

Several hours later:

I was walking down the stairs at the subway station. I would just like to say that I always always say sorry when I know I have touched, accidentally hit or nudge someone.

I just merely.. I am serious.. MERELY touched the clothing of that woman while walking down the stairs, when she started yelling and hitting and nudging me. she yelled "what's happening??!!" (wow.. yeah i would like to know too. This day has been so happening.) and she was like blablablaing all the way..

and my taiwan friend was in front and she had no idea what was going on. I told my taiwan friend what happened in mandarin and the woman just turned ard and stared at me like I WAS THE CRIMINAL. i tell u i gave her my fiercest glare EVER it could even turn my fair face Black. and after that and she didn't even dare to fight it.
