aNTi SociaL LiphE
Since I moved to Medan, my phone hardly rings, except during working hours where people call me up for business purposes. Yes, sadly but true, i dun really have any fren out here. I do knoe a gurl here whom I not really close to, we just happened to study in the same old secondary skool back in Singapore but shes a really nice gal though unfortunately, she's busy workin like me so I havent really has a chance to hang out with her, AT ALL. All we did was chattin and talkin bout stuffs and news of our other indo secondary skoolmates over the phone.
Actually, asking this gal out to malls or just hang out at cafes did occur on my mind couple of times but i dun wanna make her feel uncomfortable when i get edgy and crave for ciggiez. Well, very sadly and very disappointingly, most of the citizens in this city still perceive young adult smokers ( both male n female) as NEGATIVE persons whos up to no good. I despises it a lotz when I went to mall sometimes to shop or to find some fresh air ( Eventually, anyone includin me will get bored if they only LEAVE THEIR HOUSE to go to work and never go out to malls or plazas in weekends and YES, i rarely goes to malls; If i Get lucky, i hit the mall's floor once in a month and it really depends on my weekend moods ) and I have people lookin at me rudely once i took out my ciggie box.
Once, I was sittin in a corner of Starbucks cafe, the outside area where I AM ACTUALLY and LEGALLY ALLOWED TO SMOKE! I took out my lighter and then my cigz box and I had uneasy stares from people sittin at tables surrounded me. At that time, i actually dun give a damn coz I was badly cravin for some nicotine so i lighted up my sampoerna. Instead of turning away, my so called neighbours stared at me more intensely, as if i was some kinda controversial object being displayed in a museum. I tried to ignore them and continued to inhale a few puffs but this unnecessary attention i received was really killin my mood and 'appetite' for nicotine so I left quickly after puttin out my smoke.
What the hell is wrong with this CITY?? This is one main reason why i seldom wanna go out in public, except to accompany my dad eat out in restaurants ( since he allowed me to smoke in the car on the way home and believe me, I dun think i can survive NOT inhalin any smoke after a decent meal...yall smokers out there should knoe what i mean! ) Even if the person whos out with me doesnt mind me smokin while we hang out together around this town but I rather choose not to make her/him uncomfortable being seen with me coz this town is so much filled with narrow-minded people who perceive young people smoking as a very bad thing and I am a girl here so that makes it even worse!
Tell me to stop smokin or at least hold the temptation when im outside? Yeah, rite.... I rather choose stayin home doin nothin and enjoy my smoke anytime i want it!
Well, aniwaiz, this old skoolmate gal I mentioned earlier, she saw me last saturdae at a sushi restaurant i went to with my dad and bro and when she tried lookin for me later on, I was gone (yeah, I got a booth in a corner so I'm almozt invisible in there)... I juzz think its really sweet of her to call me up todae, especially when she called me, her house electric supply was out ( this is another current problem happenin in our town, they cut off our electric power almost everyday, shifting from one area to another area) and she cant use her home phone so she talked to me for over 30min usin her cellphone... and I felt bad cause u dun call another fren for casual chat usin cellphones!!!
She was terrified by my dad coz he pick up the phone and I need to mention that my dad voice is really loud and he sound like an angry disciplinary teacher even when he's in a happy mood. When hes angry?? WHoaa...give me choice between my dad and a bootcamp and I'll pack my sleepin bag up within a minute =P.
SHE: Hello...can i talk to Yulie please?
Dad: Ya...WHO IS THIS?? WHO ARE YOU??
SHE: I am F--Y, her friend
Dad: WHO??????? F--Y????
SHE: Yes F---Y. Can I talk to Yulie please
Then, my dad just kept quiet, put his hand over the receiver and said to me: "WHOS F---Y?? Your friend?? or that gal from vcd rental shop demanding u to return their discs?? or the girl from the comic rental shop wantin you to return their books now??"
I went to pick up the phone and though I've show acknowledgement of whos callin me and I thought I had made it clear to my dad that shes a friend and not those other gals from rental shops, he continued to stand beside me and listenin to me talkin. I'm thinkin like: "OH MY GOD. whY cant he just move away, sit down by the couch and not 30cm away from me"
After three minutes, he walked away to wash his hands and I was giggling listenin to my friend and he came back rite away, to stand beside me and whispered askin me (in a very curious face and to me, he looks so funny when he's curious): "what's so funny? Why u laugh? What happened?? What did she sae???"
Daddy... Sumpthimes, he can be the meanest person in my life, he can be the nicest, he can be the craziest, he can be really funny n humorous from time to times and no matter what, I loves him. HOWEVER I just dun want him to be that person who gets in my girl-talk business; but who am I to drive him away from his phone (i'm holding) and his livin room....
