"What a day!" she thought grumbling to herself as for the past 15mins she could not find an empty bench to rest her worn out legs and to read her newspaper.
She was really mad at her luck and when she was just about to head home, suddenly just right in front of her, a guy stood up and left. What's left on the bench was an old man reading a adult magazine.
"Gross!" was the word that flashed through her head.
"typical tiko pei" she mumbled and sweared, "curse my luck"
As it is obviously the only available seat left and if she goes home right now, she will be facing the cold walls of her house all by herself. She accepted her fate and sat down.
Warmth was felt instantly as she sat down and that felt rather good in the cold chilling night.
"Gosh, why can't it be the old man that left the beach and it was the guy that is left sitting on the bench? Oh! what the hell" she thought and whined to herself.
Feeling hungry, she opened her packet of cookies and started eat a piece as she update herself to what is happening to the world around her.
To her surprise, one she started eating, the old man started to take a piece from her packet of cookies too!
" What ill manners! fuck it agrr as if my day has not been worsen enough, now I have to share my dinner with some old man". Glaring hard at the old man.
But looking at the age of that guy, he was about 65 to 75 and decided not to pursue the matter and let it rest after all it is just a piece.
Moments later, she took another piece to eat, the old man did the same as though mimicking her action.
" Freak fine, have another piece if u want! perhaps he is just hungry and he is after all an old man." Consoling herself.
This continues for the next hour and she just dreaded her day/luck even more as the moment passes. Trying real hard to be as optimistic as possible though each time that pervertic old man
takes one of her cookies and munching it without having her concences, she really felt like giving the old man a tight slap or telling the old man off.
Finally it was down to the last piece of cookie and she was just half way done with her newspaper. Knowing that it was the last piece, she really want to see how the old man would react as in would he be so thick skinned and take the very last piece of the cookie.
Waiting, waiting but strangly there was no movement from the old man. To the very last page of her news paper, she gives up and was about to end her reading session and getting the hell out of there, the old man strikes.
The only difference is that this time round, the old man broke the cookies into half and took the other half and left the bench.
Being dumb founded, the lady stood at the bench not believing that there is actually such a person exisiting in the world.
Finished her newspaper, she headed to the nearest MRT station to get back home. In between, she kept wondering why she had let the old man have his ways and not teach him a lession.
To end her miserable day, gods played a final trick on her. She could not find her easylink card anywhere and she started to dig her hand bag for it. And it all the mist of her panic, she found a packet of famous Amos cookies in her bag exactly like the one she had eatten just now.
She realise the truth...
I guessed I am forgotten...
But she will always have a place in my heart.
