Yesterday, Shikin, Wan Ting and I was doing CIP in Bedok. We were suppose to be undercover to find out which aquariums are selling illegal pets. I have to say that it is really interesting. But, it is not easy finding those criminal shops. At the end of the day we didn’t manage to find any of those criminal shops. I think we were too careless, otherwise, we might have been able to discover this shop selling species of illegal turtles. Should have probed further because, the aunty sounded really suspicious when we asked if there were any more turtles. Damn! Anyway, we didn’t finish covering all those listed shops on yellowpages.com.sg. BEDOK IS BLOODY BIG. Pffft. All those street 1, 2, 3… to make things worse, my ankle was hurting kinda badly and I was limping.
Before we did our CIP, we had our lunch at the Bedok hawker. And there was this really really short and soiled guy, didn’t wear any shoes and had long dirty fingernails approached our table, to be specific, he was, I think, targeting Shikin. Hahahaha. Then he stretched his arms out towards Shikin (not touching her lah) and between his fingers, were a few strands of hair! OMG, I was dead scared that he would do something to Shikin with those hair (like stuffing them into her mouth. EEK) or put them into my chicken rice! Lol. Or, he would use those long fingernails of his to scratch us. We totally freezed there too frightened to do anything. And he was mumbling some shit under his breath that Wan Ting thought he wanted money. But luckily she didn’t give, you know why luckily?
I was the first one to reach Bedok MRT, so I decided to go down to the hawker and see see look look. Hahaha. As I walked the passage way to the hawker I saw that short and soiled guy, sitting on the floor counting ROLLS OF MONEY (all sorts of colour, green, purple, red, I think no blue). Wah lao, richer than my wallet okay!
So you see, I think he didn’t deserve to be given any money. Maybe it’s because he frightened us that I had such bad impression on him so I think the latter. I think he is some mad dude walking around scaring gutless people like us maybe expecting us to give him money so that he would scram. Shikin was so scared that she didn’t even notice the hair between his fingers. And when I told her, she freaked, and said that maybe he put a curse on us! HAHA.
And when I finished eating my chicken rice, that guy came over again, and that made me panicked and I was like omg omg. Shikin then faster turned towards Wan Ting to avoid any eye contact with him. He ALMOST approached our table, but didn’t, instead stalked the table next to ours. Phew… horrible experience and the thought of it still gives me goosebumps.
