Just your regular Monday afternoon bitching session ...

Here's the thing.

I'm having breakfast at Yakun @ Parkway Parade with my younger girl. We managed to get a booth seat, but after about 15 minutes or so, the place filled up quickly (Parkway regulars will know this).

I was having a conversation with the daughter when this Chinese lady about 60 to 65 years old, suddenly came right up to my face and asked if we were going to be done soon. Really, right up in my face. And loudly too. Startled the cr*p out of me.

Neh-mine.

Told her with a smile that, no, we're not going to be done any time soon.

She then disappeared with her husband and after a few more minutes, she plonked herself down on a spare stool at someone else's table.

And started staring at me (or my general direction - I could be exaggerating). 

Literally, it was like this -

Ok, to be fair, she didn't look like this guy here (who's auditioning for a talent show, but I digress).

But still, that's how it felt. Every time I look up at my daughter I can see this crazy old lady staring at me. WTF.

So I try this tactic (which usually works). I stared right back at her.

Except, her super powers were far greater than mine. She didn't even blink! NB. Fail.

Her husband then found another table elsewhere, cos I can hear (and see) her telling her husband, "No! I'm not sitting there cos it's too hot there and I want to wait here." Then she resumes her unflinching stare.

In face of such power, I gave up. I finished up my kopi peng and got ready to go. 

Before I could even get out of my seat, and before daughter had even stood up, she was already beside my table and beckoning her husband over.

Now, this is what got me thinking.

Should I have done what every bloody person seems to be doing nowadays, ie SHAME her, STOMP her, etc? (For the non-locals, this means taking a photo of her fugly mug, and sticking it on Facebook).

Or am I being too "ngiao" about this?
