something weird happened to me today.
while walking to tuition just now, this middle aged man approached me. i couldnt make out what he was saying. when i did, he asked me whether i stayed at the place where i was. i so froze.i freaked out! and he followed me. mumbled something about being friends. and i dunno why but i really didnt noe what to do. i gave an apologetic smile and walked away so so quickly. i didnt dare run cos i was afraid that he would run after me. my heart was beating so fast (in a bad way). and i just realized that i really take my own safety very lightly. and i of course take the fact that singapore is a very safe country for granted. i live at geylang for goodness sake and there’s a hotel just behind my house. i kept thinking what if the man did something to me? the worst case scenario kept replaying in my head and that walk to my tutee’s house was one the longest walks that i had.
not to self: take care of myself.
anyhoos, today i did some pretty interesting stuff besides walking very quicky away from strangers. i found the manual for our family camera. so pathetic cos we bought that camera like 2 years back. but im very happy that i finally know how to use all the functions and hopefully take better pictures. and i subscribed to this daily newsletter about decluttering my life and learning how to be organized. i hope that i can use it for other aspects of my life. so far the tips have been good.
and i just realize this: Im not okay. im just distracted. and it’s ok that im not okay. this is gonna take some time. the last time it took 4 years. so god knows how long this one would take.
