B: (dlm hati) uik who's this? mcm baru je nampak muka dia ni hari ni. siap tau nama penuh aku ni...

it's unsettling that ppl know you when you don't even know them. it makes you wonder, what kind of reputation precedes you? or worse, which precedes you; the reputation or the name itself?

haritu ada sekali, sorg minah tu tgk je nama aku, terus tanya, "ada keturunan india / pakistan ke?" aku rasa mcm this is the 1st time someone deduced that fr my name, instead of fr my eyebrow(s) heheh. x kisah la kan. it's not like i can change anything. and even if i can, i don't wanna.

tadi aku rasa mcm nak tulis sth else, tapi tiba2 dtg lak arahan kena buat report. terus buntu. some other time then.

ok chiow.
