there's a couple of familiar faces lingering around in school. this is mostly the case of: i know them somehow although they wouldn't know if i have been sucked into the black hole. not that it matters, to be begin with.

the world is small, you know. and within the malay community, as you proceed along the education tier, you tend to come across the same faces over again. i have a knack for remembering faces and the most irrelevant details, i swear.. so its no surprise that i remember these people who are either friends of friends or friends of imran. the only thing that i conveniently forgot is that.... these people-they don't know me.

that's bad.

not because it ascertains that i am a recluse. i don't give two hoots bout that, really. i readily admit i sometimes don't bother to make meaningless small talks or fake being friendly for the sake of breaking the ice. either i am comfortable with you or i am not. if i am, (fortunately or unfortunately) i will open my big gap and as they say-the rest is history. most of the time tho, i am just very shy, la. *blush*
....but i digress. so anyways, where was i?

ah yes......... these people: they dun know me. that's bad. because having forgotten they don't have a clue of my existence on Earth (or Mars, or Venus), i would happily smile at them when we pass. the truth only struck me when i saw them knotting their brows, looking as baffled as lost toads on a highway, and then throwing me a crooked smile out of plain confusion.

they must be thinking this minah was trying to hit on them.
so paiseh, right?
i wasn't flirting ok?
i was not.
i insist.

i'll keep my eyes glued to the floor from now on.
