songe-tu parfois à l'inconnu qui est assis en face de toi dans le métro? si ouai... check this out (how do you say 'check this out' in french, anyway? anyone?): L'Inconnu du Métro

this girl does wat i've always felt compelled to do on the bus/train. damn interesting if you do understand french. thanks for sharing, marie dinkle!


so far, i've mostly only made conversation with taxi drivers. one of the few times i spoke to a stranger on public mass transport was bout 5 yrs back, when i found myself on the train, sitting next to this lady (who later introduced herself as 'Penelope'. or some other long, 'P' name..) who happened to be doing her french wkbk. of course, being the kaypoh tt i cannot help being, i was looking at all her answers and mentally going through them one by one, while also observing her scanning the questions and looking quite clueless. finaly, when i really couldn't tahan anymore, i said: "excuse me, sorry to be a busybody (blatant lie), but do you mind if i help you correct one of your answers?"

tsk. i know, i know... so yaya right. macam my french damn good. but anyway, it was still better than hers. lucky for me, she was really friendly. she said she was on the way to her af class which she hadn't gone for a while. she was kind of embarrassed tt i'd been watching her but she said she welcomed any help. i explained to her conjugation rules and some blablahs of wat i knew of french grammar. sometimes i wonder how her french lesson went tt evening. i hope she's progressed to where she wanted to be.

ok lah, no more stories already, amelia. stop procrastinating and just fucking go and sleep.

oh oh, and today i poked an old man who was sitting on the steps outside an mrt station, sleeping. i just wanted to make sure he was alive. i don't feel comfortable walking past someone, knowing they might be dead- do you? so... yes, he was alive. (otherwise this post would've been on something entirely different.)

okok, i'm really not gonna type anymore ok? i'll REALLY go to sleep in like... 10 mins. mornite, world.
