Everyday at work, there is something to talk about. Something good, something bad, or something new. Today I wasn't really in the mood to work, or do anything for that matter. My body usually feels tired or weak during cool, cloudy, or rainy days. Its like when the temperature gets below a certain degree, my body just breaks and all energy flows out from me.
I was working the afternoon shift today, and it totally sucked. I was so damn busy that my body is even more tired. Bad enough I have been working 6 days straight and tomorrow I still have another afternoon shift to go. On top of that, I have to work in an under-staff condition due to one employee taking a medical leave. I can't wait for a freaking break!
Anyway, the unique thing which happened to me today happened after I got off work. While I was walking down, a stranger approached me and talked to me. He spoke in china-slang mandarin. I was completely blank. Bad enough my mandarin was down the drain. He spoke in a slang so confusing to me I had to really concentrate to know what he was talking about. After a short while of him talking to me, I realised that he was just a typical china con man. He totally sucked at lying so I just let him speak while giving him one default reply until he gave up.
I cannot understand his story completely but here was what I got. He is embarrassed to ask a favour from a young man like me. Then something about his parents leaving back to China tomorrow. Then as he was walking with me he talked about stuff in really fast mandarin. Then he talked about how he has no money and stuff because he was mugged. Then he asks for me to do him a favor and he will repay me with a meal or some sort.
I didn't fall for anything and just replied, "I'm sorry, I'm rushing somewhere. I have no time." After my fifth time saying that, as I was walking down towards the escalator, he glared at me and left. He failed to con me. Well, it was easy to spot that he was trying to con me. First of all, he kept following me wherever I go with his story. As though he was forcefully trying to make me understand his situation instead of giving up and searching for someone who might give a shit. That was a flaw because it intimidates people. Secondly, he told me he wanted to treat me to a meal, then he told me he got mugged. Firstly, he contradicted himself (possibly or maybe not since I didn't get the whole story he blabbered about). Secondly, if he was mugged, why the hell did he come to me?Go to the KLCC security or the police. If not, go ask direction to the nearest police station. Lastly, if he has parents who are going to leave tomorrow, it means he has his flight out of here already. Why in the world is he talking to me at 10p.m. in KLCC searching for favors and money? He has offended my level of intelligence and I must bash him here. However, I neither know his name nor have a picture of him. I can only say he was an average height chinese dude with small eyes and very short hair (almost bald). He was wearing a black shirt with a brown sling bag.
He has meddled with THE Bryan. Go search and destroy.
Just kidding.
Something happened on the other day at work too but I was too tired to type it down. I saw a backpacker reading in the TRAVEL corner with no shoes or socks. He was walking around Kinokuniya bare footed.
