paranoia is the new paranoia

the weirdest thing happened today.

so i was walking home from west mall, on this footpath underneath the MRT track. and there was this guy walking in front of me. i was just being my usual self, dragging my feet and walking lazily home.

and then all of the sudden this guy just turns around and looked at me, then swiftly turned his head back and started walking at about twice the pace he was walking at. of course i had no idea wtf spooked him. so i kinda walked a little faster too to see what the hell's going on. and he just kept turning his head back and walked even faster, like almost jogging.


i'm truly stumped as to what happened. there's nothing/no one on the path except me and the guy. so it must have been me. obviously the guy thinks my neighbourhood is a ghetto shithole where people get mugged for no good reason. plainly this is not true. geylang is a ghetto shithole, so is the sahara desert. bukit batok? i think not.

do i really look that pathetic/desperate as to want to mug somebody for some petty coins? people are so paranoid nowadays. prffttt...
