got freaked out at work today =l
i’ll never forget how my heart beated faster
and how my face was burning from awkwardness and embarassment.

okay so there was this customer that came with his mum a month or so back
he’s a lil retarded i might say cos he jus stares at you for no reason
and he stutters when he talks.
it’s a pity seeing him. i try not to treat him differently and actually be nicer.
and who knows he came in today. alone.
when he ordered, there was a weirdness in the air.
all he ordered was an entree.
and all the time he’s jus staring at me.
creepy!
his food came and after few minutes he’s up at the counter.
my boss was at the counter and i jus came out from the kitchen.
instead of talking to my boss he waited for me and asked me instead for the bill
i was a lil disturbed then but brushed it off since he’s paying already
which means he will be gone in a minute or two.. so i thought.
took his money and return his change.
instead of turning away and head to the door, he stayed back.=l
and he goes, (stuttering) “the food is delicious”
and we (my boss and i) replied ”oh thank you”
and that’s when it starts getting creepy
“my name is so and so, what’s yours ”
well apparently i was too stunned to even remember what he said his name was. =p
and he reached out his hand to shake (!)
deciding how to reply to him that was i think the longest minute of my life
“er… im jacinta” awkwardly shakes his hand and quickly pushed it away
“so.. where.. do.. you.. stay..”
oh my gosh is he gonna find out where i live and follow me?
i nudged my boss begging for help
seriously in this kinda situation i always find myself lost for the right words.
even my boss was dumbfounded. then she said “oh she jus stays here” lol
my mind was going all hairwired and i was panicked for some reason.
my boss quickly gave me smt to do trying to avoid any other questions from him.
i quickly took the bill to the customer to sign.
when in my heart im crying out for help.
going back i din dare look at him anymore.
then my boss whispered to me ”you better go inside”
so into the kitchen i went and hid myself from the all the awkwardness
i din know what happen out there but he stayed for at least 10 minutes or so.
doing nothing but looking at the fishes in the aquarium.
again and again my boss asked him if he wans smt else n he said
“no i jus wan to look at the fish”
in the kitchen i cant even sit quietly.
keep wandering around looking for things to do while praying that he’ll be gone
and when he left my boss told me that he kept looking back through the front glass doors as he walk pass the restaurant in between looking at his watch
it’s so creepyy
and my boss’ husband kept scaring me that he’s waiting for me out there to follow me on my bus

so that was it my weird experience today
the whole night i couldnt get him off my head.
being in this industry i guess you cant avoid abnormal ppl sometimes.
i guess i should have been more bold and tell him off.
but of course politely since he’s “special”
but still if given a choice i wouldnt wanna go through tonight again.
i jus cant bear to see ppl’s disappointment and thus most of time i chose the easy way out. run.
which isnt exactly gonna make u grow =p
well.. we’ll see how it goes.
tommorrow is a brand new day =)
