Pro Stalkers in the Making

So last week CCS' exercise was to stalk..err..observe... 10 random people we spot in public places and to describe their appearance.

My major is uber fun don't you think? :)))))) I love being a stalker! 

Because Singapore is a very 'public' city so everyone can see and be seen, interesting people - or people with interesting apperance are everywhere. Here is a sneak peak from my latest best selling book called  "Stalking As a New Hobby". 

A Chinese man, around 50's-60s, spotted jogging with his (probably) wife on Sunday morning around 10.10 am, both wearing white Polo shirt, grey training pants, and white running shoes.

It seemed that the man was mentally unstable, he kept shouting ...Chinese?..words very loudly, and when I was looking at him - HE WAS SHOUTING AT ME across the road and I tried not to look at him. They continued running and I reached my bus stop and continued observing. The man kept shouting words , he air-punched the traffic lights, a group of male Caucasian tourists saw him and laughed a bit. 

Her wife just explained it with a little smile, an apology? - there's a sadness in her face - might be an emphaty for her husband - might be an expression of exhaustion, she might have been in that situation for years, she then asked her husband to continue running.

As they're running right in front of me, the man shouted proudly, "I am Samson, I am Samson!"

Bus, on the way home, a very old Chinese lady , 70's-80's, sitting alone, offered me a seat beside her with a smile. She has short curly white hair and was wearing a satin Chinese prints clothes, FULL make up, yellow and blue eyeshadow, bright red lipstick.

 

Her smile was so genuine, warm, and friendly.
