the looming felons

my mom relates the story to me...

this afternoon, as she was just about to take a lil nap, a woman waltzes into our garden (gate was closed) and comes up to the door. now, my mom is lyin on the couch, no intention to entertain any sales or watever person...
so she just lays back. the lady holding a long umbrella, starts knockin away with her umbrella at the door... long enough to irritate anyone who can sit through a 2 hour argument about bush's intelligence.
so my mom draws the glass door, and says wats goin on?? she just says "oh, can i come in?" for no reason watsoeva.. and her dumb answers continues, my mom keeps saying no, she isnt feelin too well, she wants to take a nap, please get out.
so she stops, n turns away. moments later, my mom spots the woman still in the garden. she is pickin my moma precious orchids!
so mom goes "wat are you doin? you are not suppose to pick peoples flowers!" da lady doesnt care.. continue to pick em flowers n says that orchids smell so nice (yea rite, da orchids have NO smell). after threats of callin the police.. the woman walks out.
later, our neighbout says the lady hopped into the car driven by a guy. so come the talk about recent events.. (yup neighbout gossip):

it seems that in another neighbourhood incident, the maid in the house let in a stranger lady, then some men came out of nowhere, went in and robbed the house!!! yea.. damn...

just a week ago, the teacher living a couple of doors away, got down her car outside her house... out of nowhere (yea, thats where they hide- nowhere)some dude on a bike grabs her hand bag and speeds off. poor lady fell to da ground, poor biker guy got a bunch of test papers! so much for robbing a teacher.

in uni, i hear another story. a fren of mine was right outside a mall, and a car pulls up. the guy in da car says "dude, can i borrow ur phone, i needa make a call.. blah blah blah". so he generously gives his phone to the lad. the guys says, "hey, get in the car while i talk on the phone". my frens asian'ly declines.. then suddenly the driver gets in gear n drives off!!! (yup with the phone)

so now it comes to me... as i was walkin back from uni, on a rather quiet lane there is a car, engine running, windows down, 5 boys in it. no one else seem to be around. i walk face down to avoid contact coz from afar the eyes already spelled trouble. as i walk pass, one of the guys goes "pssssstttttt". i ignore...
then just b4 i am at a save distance away from the car, he goes "excuse me.." and waves for me to get closer to the car... so naturally i did.. until suddenly my frens phone running off in a car story hits me.. so i make a undecipherable signal n walk away. they boys in the car... they didnt do a thing as far as i am concern.

now i know y lotsa people are paranoid. still, i wish it was otherwise!!
