I was getting on the STAR LRT at around 9:10am from the Masjid Jamek<\/b> station to go to Bukit Jalil<\/b>, where my office, the fishtank, was. As usual, I would walk towards the door with the young attractive females, as a train ride would be boring staring blankly at old people. I sat near the front of the cab, where opposite me was a quite pretty, fair and not too skinny Chinese girl.<\/p>\n
I leaned my head forward against the side wall, hugging my bag, as I rocked to Black Sabbath<\/i> blasting in my ears, scratching my blackheads, while my eyes flitted between looking outside, looking at the collected rain fall down the front window, and looking at the girl.<\/p>\n
This continued until the train reached Chan Sow Lin<\/b>, to which the girl stood up, facing me, and took out a leaflet with three Chinese characters on it. In puzzlement, I took off my earphones.<\/p>\n
She<\/b>: Excuse me, can you read Chinese? (In English, mind you…<\/i>)
\nMe<\/b>: No…<\/p>\n
She then flipped through her photograph book and took out another leaflet, with a sunrise\/sunset background (much like those condom packages.) There, printed, were three words that I forgot, except the last word, “depressed<\/b>“.<\/p>\n
She<\/b>: Hey you can have this.
\nMe<\/b>: Huh? I’m not depressed…<\/p>\n
She then got off the train.<\/p>\n
Now that I think of it, I sounded slightly defensive with the last sentence. Of course, I wasn’t feeling depressed. I regret not taking the leaflet; imagine how much better this story would have been if I could show you the leaflet!<\/p>\n
Yes, I felt touched by an angel. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Now, the questions arise!<\/p>\n
1) Do I look depressed?
\n2) Why did she get on my train and not the next one (since she’s obviously going towards Ampang<\/b>, not Sri Petaling<\/b>…)
\n3) Should I have took the leaflet and broke down, just to get her to stay on the train and listen to sad stories that I would make up so maybe she’d hug me and tell me “it’s gonna be alright”, making a new friend in the process? Oh, and for further counselling, I’d need a number! (Oh wait, I think I know the answer to this question… \ud83d\ude41 Darn, wasted oppurtunity!)
\n4) Why did she ask if I could read Chinese in English<\/b> and not Chinese?
\n5) How did she know that I couldn’t read or speak Chinese?
\n6) Does Black Sabbath sound depressing to you?
\n7) What was she doing with a photograph book full of leaflets?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
