Went to ROMM to register our marriage this morning. Tunang fetched my parents and me at 9.30am. We reached ROMM around 10am. There was only another couple before us so waiting wasn't so bad. I knew there was going to be an interview session. I totally suck at meeting people. Haha! I actually got nervous to meet the Kadi. But it went fine. First, Tunang went in to verify his particulars. Then it was my turn and finally, Dad went in.

We finished the whole process within the hour and then headed for breakfast at Komala Villas at Tekka. All of us had Masala Dosai. Not too bad. :)

Tunang went off after that cos I insisted so. He just came back from morning shift and I gather he's very tired. So, I took 65 to get to work.

It was quite an uncomfortable journey. I was at te bus stop and looking around when I spotted this man looking my way. I dismissed it as I thought he was just observing people. 65 came and I took the bus. I sat at the upper deck cos it was going to be quite a long journey.

The upper deck was 80% empty and I felt someone sit beside me. I glanced to my left and saw the man from the bus stop. I started getting uneasy. I mean here we have the bus half-full and you choose to sit beside me? I didn't actually shift seats cos I didn't want to make it very obvious that I was disturbed. We sat at quite a distance initially but after a few bus stops, he inched his way closer to me. I couldn't take it any longer so I stood up, muttered an "Excuse me" and went to the lower deck. He appeared to be sleeping when I stood up.

At the lower deck, I sat all the way to the back. The bus was approaching another bus stop and someone pressed the bell. At the last moment, I saw the guy came down. He was looking to his right and left (I assumed he was looking for me?) and I quickly lowered myself in the seat. And thank goodness he alighted. *shivers*

I don't mean to be "perasan" cos I know I'm not even close to drop-dead-gorgeous, but why me? How sexy can you look like when you're wearing a jubah and a long scarf? Nothing is exposed except my feet, hands and face. And it's impossible that all that is just a coincidence cos the whole episode happened within a few bus stops. If he really wanted to alight 3 bus stops away, he could have just sat at the lower deck. And even if he wanted to sit upstairs, he could always choose another seat cos like I said, most of the seats were unoccupied.

Three thing I learnt from this are never sit on the upper deck alone when there's not many people on the bus, always look out for suspicious characters and lastly, learn to scream. And scream LOUD ;)
