In order to shake off the boredom, Mak and I went to Tesco today. See, this is a bit rocket science because Mak need to use the wheelchair and I have to push the trolley. The only way I can think of making it work is I tolak Mak's wheelchair, and Mak push the trolley. But that would be a rather freak show to be watched in Tesco isn't it? Mak being a super shy lady mestilah tak tahan with people staring at her nanti pulak kan?
So I called one of my sis and she said "no problem, pronto! pronto! to the rescue now!". So we went there 3 of us and did a tiny groceries mandatory shopping. Then my so ever cheerful tummy was making quite a sound. Time to eat now. We decided to have our dinner at the Food Court.
Now, here's the highlight of the story. The so-called highlight lah.. while we were eating, my sister noticed a man (normal looking with exercise attire) walking around the Food Court. Next to our table, there were few leftover plates and drink cups. Then the man went to the table and start collecting the food and drinks! At first I told my sister that most probably the man were collecting the food for his pet. But drinks too?! Then he moved to the other table and did the same thing. To much dismay, there is no explanation for this. Seriously he doesn't look any crazy. He was well dressed. Hmmm..I wonder why he did that. Maybe dia ada some cool bio project or something? Would be interesting to know :)
Anyhoo, I realized that we were not the only people who can't stop staring at him. And that man was looking down on his busy fingers most of the time trying to get his job done quickly much to his embarrassment. He did nothing wrong actually. He was just taking leftover food. That's all.
Not only until I got back home then I realized yang hey! I was staring at him too at that time! And it was rude! Damn rude! And unfair! And busybody! And bad! BAD! BAD! BAD! Oh my...I really feel guilty now. Somehow I can understand the man's feeling. "I didn't do anything bad or illegal. It's just that it is something that is not ordinary" And it somehow reminds me of Mak's feeling the first time she went to Tesco in wheelchair. She refused to go at first, said that she hate the stares. And really, even until today there were some people who would look or stare at us. And well, an old woman on a wheelchair is a rather ordinary experience you see most day don't you? Well, I'm glad Mak had passed the I'm-embarrassed-to-be seen-on-this-yall! We do still get the stares sometimes, but mostly we get friendly smile or greetings as well :)
So, I hope that the mysterious man will receive some friendly gestures too :)
