Alive And Kicking

G'day mates how's it going? Last week I was so busy at both work and home, I didn't have time to blog at all. So you wouldn't have seen me in your blogs. Anyways it's Monday now and I'm back in business :-). btw my sweetest aunt from NZ came over on Sat for a 2-week break so I'm so very happy at the moment. She's my mum's younger sis and she used to dote on us when we were kids. She's my fav aunt out of all my aunts, and she's the mum of the bride of that wedding in NZ I went to recently. I love having her over, it's so much fun when family is over, especially when it is a wonderful person.

Tale Of A Passive 'Stalker'

A dork started following me on Friday, a real dork. I was going to this Desi shop to get a DVD on Friday night. As it's close to my house, I was walking (not driving) and then I saw this North Indianish guy - he was good-looking, about 25-28yrs of age, driving past that shop, staring at me ofcourse (rolling eyes here..duh!). As he was driving I assumed he would be gone out of my suburb by the time I went to that Desi shop, got my DVD and was walking back home. Hell na he hasn't gone anywhere! Cos as I stepped out of the shop with my DVD, he was right behind me (I assume he parked his car, then traced my whereabouts and ended up at the shop entrance). Even then I was thinking that maybe he came to buy something at the shop. It didn't seem like that either cos he didn't go into the shop, instead he walked beside me - like I was his shopping companion, LOL good going mate! His guts were truly shocking. As I was listening to my iPod at the time, I used it as a weapon against any conversation that he might start. He didn't stop anywhere, he kept on walking with me - not ahead or behind me, but right beside me. I was now becoming really irritated as he was turning and looking at my face all the time too. So what I did then was something that most women would do to avoid a stalker - go into another shop and pretend like I was shopping there for hours so he can faint while waiting for me (I know most men hate shopping). Ah ah, but not this stalker Keshi. Instead of standing out and fainting for good, he came into the same shop! I was like WTF how do I tell him to just get out of my face and way. I was walking down the isle as if I was looking for something that was not there hehe. From the corner of my eyes I was trying to see where that loser was and whether he had left. You think he left? There he was holding a bunch of black socks and asking a shop assistant something about it. I knew he was just pretending to be interested in the socks - he was just waiting for me to come around, what a jerk ha? I felt like smothering him with those black socks right there, but I knew that would make me go to prison and nah I wasn't sure if I could blog from prison. Well anyways while he was inquiring about the socks, I thought it's the best time to get out of the shop and disappear. And I did just that. Guess what he did as I was leaving? He threw away the bunch of socks (while that lady was still talking to him) and came behind me haha! That was so funny I really laughed but thank God he didn't see me laughing. Then he started walking abreast with me, same as before. I then stopped on my tracks and gave him a very annoyed look (that look was long overdue btw). Then he was a tad uncomfy and said to me 'I'm sorry to bother you, I wasn't following you if that's what you were thinking...' and he looked a bit scared cos of the 'You'llbeinacoffinsoonifyoufollowmeanymore' kinda look I gave him. I was thinking to myself 'If you don't think you're following me then you're intellectually challenged to understand what FOLLOWING is, cos this IS FOLLOWING you loser'. Goshhh how can people deny what they're doing so obviously??!! Anyways I then kept walking and he wouldn't leave me alone at all. Then he stopped me and asked me something. I had to take off my ear-phones and then he said 'do you live around here?'...I said 'No' (that was a big big lie). And he goes 'oh ok, so do you live in the next suburb?'...I then said 'No'. He goes 'Where do you live' and I said 'I really don't know'...LOL and I put my ear-phones back on and got on an escalator and disappeared real quick. How desperate can some men be? And how can you really bring yourself to follow someone? It's a pathetic mentality. I could have easily got him to follow me further and right into the Police station cos it was really close by.

End Of A Legacy
As most of you suggested 2 weeks ago, I spoke to my friend again (the one who wouldn't talk to me cos I cancelled dinner). After 2 more futile attempts to get her to ring me back (through calls and txts), I finally emailed her asking her if she's punishing me for such a trivial thing and is letting a good friendship end cos of it. Hallelujah she fianlly replied to it! She wrote an email back saying she's not punishing me but she wants a break from being STOOD UP all the time! HELLO did I do that? Hell nah, I let her know that morning itself that I won't be able to make it for dinner and she calls it being 'STOOD UP'. I then sent her the dictionary meaning of being 'STOOD UP', incase she didn't really know what that word meant. I really sent her the meaning of it and told her not to accuse me of something that I didn't do, and if she wants a break from me that it's really fine...cos I too needed a break from her massive life-long WHINGING spree! And I also told her that if she can't understand my situation that day and let go of something that happened about a month ago, then I don't see any point in this friendship either. I told her that I'm done with her. No she has no reason to end this friendship...but I do. She's faithless...I can't afford to have such people in my life. So long my friend.

Happy week ahead dudes and dudettes!
