i am so sorry esther chin chong fan.
i forgot that i still have a loyal n0n-malay reader.
especially for you,
here's a story.
before i went out tonight
my younger sister had asked me to buy her
a melon vitasoy and a bottle of apple tea.
it was around 10pm and it was drizzling.
i was walking my way home from the 'mamak' shop.
i saw a cat.
its nearby the lift.
so, i told myself
"relax fatimah, i will just pass by the cat"
normally, if i saw a cat from far.
i will choose not to take the nearest lift.
i will go over to the other lift further away to reach home.
but tonight, i didnt.
and i made a mistake.
trying to be brave,
and trying not to be scared,
i walked towards the lift.
i planned not to look at the cat.
but i failed.
i had turn my head and take a look at what the cat is doing.
and i saw the cat is coming towards me.
that instant moment,
i could no longer act cool.
knowing that the cat is going towards me.
i cant think straight. i panicked.
i was so scared that i ran away from the lift
and wanted to run away from the cat.
and of course, the cat,
seeing me running away
it started to chase me.
whats more?
i was too scared.
and thinking that the cat wants the soya milk i was holding
i threw away the plastic bag filled with my sister's drink
and i threw it to the cat.
i thought that by giving away the milk
the cat would stop chasing after me
but i was wrong,
the cat only temporarily looked into the plastic bag
and it then continues to chase me
i was like,
"HUH???
you dont want milk?
what else do you want?
DONT CHASE ME.
PLEASE, DONT CHASE ME!"
but the cat keep running
and i keep running too.
so i ran and ran and ran.
and i bumped into a malay neighbor's son.
he saw me running,
and i wanted to seek help from him.
FORTUNATELY, i didnt.
FORTUNATELY, i was still abit rational.
imagine..
how should have i seek help from him?
by saying..
"HELP! HELP!
theres a cat chasing after me."
omg, that would be so embarassing.
so what did i do?
and what did i learn for the night?
i learnt that at the most fearful moment of my life,
i should just run.
run as fast as possible.
and dont look back.
if i see a staircase, thats better.
if i see a big road, thats even better.
when everything is clear,
when the cat is no longer to be seen,
call my home. =D
moral of the story:
the more you try to be brave,
the more the cat wants to get near you.
i dun understand why people like cats.
they just know how to act cute.
and they chase after people.
