HAPPY BIRTHDAY....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ( to me, that is...  )

         I know what you may be thinking.. Its so pathetic to wish yourself happy birthday in your own blog, is it not?  ( Oh well, couldn't resist it, and after all, how many times does a girl turn 18 anyway?  ) To think that now i can legally enter clubs..!!

         Lets see.. My birthday gift so far?

I HAVE A BLOODY STALKER...!!!!

         Arggh, and guess who it is? Remember the weirdo who works in the shop next to mine, the one who kept giving me that creepy smile?

         Well, i had just finished eating alone at Lot 66 ( a foodcourt in Kuantan ) today during my lunch break, when i decided to go to the toilet..

         Upon emerging from the  (horribly dirty, *bluekzz ) toilet, i saw, to my utmost horror.. IT WAS EL-CREEPO..!!!

         He was waiting for me outside, (alone ) giving that same creepy smile..  Like, WTF right?? ( i don't even wanna know HOW he knew my lunch break hours, as i was really freaking out at that point.. )

         It was too late for me to go back into the toilet ( since he'd seen me ), and i couldn't run past him either, since there was only a tiny space between us.. ( hell, i would've shoved him aside, if it weren't for that huge drain beside me, and my horrible sense of balance..  )

         So, what on earth is a girl to do in such a..predicament?

         Well, she pretends everything is all right, of course..!! Ahem, the following transcript is a direct translation of what happened when i stepped outta the damned toilet.. ( After untying one of my shoelaces, that is.. You will understand why later.. ) Enjoy..!

Me : * not looking at EL-CREEPO, pretending to retie my shoelace.. ( was hoping i could somehow limp away without looking at him, but well.. its kinda impossible to hop and tie your shoelace at the same time.. )

EL-CREEPO : Hi, remember me, Christine? How are you? ( Yikes, he actually knows my name, which bloody fool gave it to him anyway?? )

Me: Erm, i'm okay, thanks..  ( i seem to be using this sentence a lot lately.. )

EL-CREEPO : You don't speak Mandarin arh? Only English? Can i be your friend?

Me : Ah, erm.. YES, i speak English only.. ( hoping he never hears me cursing my colleagues in fluent Cantonese.. Then again, he works next door, probably eavesdroppes through the walls or somehing.. )

EL-CREEPO : Oh..actually i wanted to ask you out for lunch..Can i have your phone number? *( actually, he already has my number, i don't know how he did that either..!  )

Me: Uh.. ********** ( my phone number), if there's nothing else, i gotta go continue working, bye..!!

* i gracefully exit the scene, only to bump into a pole.. ( while turning to see if he would actually dare to follow me.. )

         Whew, what is happening to guys these days?? Why are they steadily getting creepier, and hornier?? Now, instead of a:

---> boy-meets-girl, boy-falls-in-love-with-girl, situation,

we have..

---> boy-meets-girl, boy-stalks-the-girl, and girl-gets-freaked, situation..

         *sigh*.. Oh well, as they say: "Cry a river, build a bridge, move on..!"  ( in this case, i shall literally move, if not run, and the further away from that creep, the better..! ) Like, cornering me outside a toilet?? Get a life, man..

         Anyway, my friends are throwing a surprise party for me tonight, ( okay, not really a surprise party since i know bout it, but they refuse to tell me what's gonna happen..! ) All i can do now is pray, that nothing and no one in the restaurant suffers any lasting injuries tonight..

         To the wonderful people who've conspired and planned so much for tonight, thank you, you're the wonderful friends that brighten my life..!  ( please remember though, that although i'm legally 18 now, i doubt if my parents would allow me to get drunk..Thank you!  ) With that, i conclude this post.. Night..!

P/S: At least this year, i'm gettin my most wished for birthday gift.. SLEEP...!!! Hehe, i get to sleep till whatever time i like, since today is my first day-off from work!
