Pinky Blues

"Lai lai lai!! One packet $2!" the hawker had been shouting even before I sat down.... and he showed no signs of tiredness. The smell of hot steamy chestnuts filled the walkway.

Beside him there is a man playing the 3 hit combo.... guitar, harmonica + singing. Very refreshing listening to his version of the current pop songs.

And I think it is really difficult to just sit one corner and observe people passing by.

Think of a terrorist doing that. With sneaky eyes and a bag beside him. Within 10 minutes the suspect will be surrounded by SOF. All thanks to the terrorist acts around the region and also the anti-terrorist campaign by our government.

What will ladies think if they saw a guy sitting one corner observing them?

What will mothers think if they saw a guy staring at their lovable children?

What will boyfriends think if they saw a guy peeping at their girls?

What will couples with ice-creams on their hands think if they saw a guy looking at them?

Help! I want to declare my innocence!!

Nowadays people are quite suspicious of one another. Maybe I should pretend to be a tree to avoid suspicion while I'm sitting one corner trying to relax.
