Target 1: Serve Drinks
Place: Coffee Shop
Gender: Female

Woke up at 3pm today and went to had my late brunch. There is this not-so-young lady at the coffeeshop serving drinks. She was wearing this dark green shirt with a three quarter pants and had this waist pouch around her. She had a mole on her left cheek. Order drinks from her and I start to observe her.

At that point of time, there are only a few people in the coffee shop. So after she serve me my drinks, she went to the drinks counter and stand there. Then, when another person came, she went forward him and asked if he wants a drink. After he ordered his drinks, she shouted “kopi siu-dai” for the person in charge of making the drinks to hear. Actually, she could have just walked to the counter and tell the person. There are not much people in the coffee shop anyway. Or, maybe she’s already used to doing so. Then, after the coffee was made, she went to serve the man.

She doesn’t have much things to do. So, she went to sit down at starts looking around. She wasn’t smiling. Guess she could be tired? She was show a black face. Or, was she scolded? Or she would wants to go home soon? After awhile, someone left, so she went to collect the cups and clean up the table. She gave the cup to the counter and put those plates in a big bucket. Then, she went back to her seats and looking around again. What exactly is going through her mind? Something happened at home? Don’t tell me she forgot to turn off her stove. Or, she is just purely tired? Finished my duck porridge and left. She is still at there, looking around…

Target 2: Lady in pink
Place: On the way back home
Gender: Female

Yesterday, after buying my dinner, walked home and I saw a lady in front of me. Actually, I didn’t really have a chance to look at her. She was walking in front of me with a normal pace. So, I was like a private investigator following her. She was wearing a light pink shirt with a three quarter pants (why do people love three quarter pants so much?). Wearing a sandles and carrying a Esprit bag on her right shoulder. On her right hand, she was also carrying a MNG paper bag (which seems like there is nothing in it. Because it doesn’t have a shape and the two sides of the paper bag are practically ’sticking’ to each other.) and a red plastic bag with a packet of food inside.

We were walking past a playground and she turned her head to look at those kids playing. Then, one of her Esprit bag strap drop/fell(?). But she didn’t bother to put it back on her shoulder. She didn’t feel it? Or she just heck care about it? After passing by the playground, we are under a block – 142. No, she doesn’t live there. Neither do I. So, we walked past block 142 and it leads us to a carpark. Just a small one. Then, she finally decided to put her bag strap back on her shoulder. At this time, she also put her MNG and red plastic bag to her left hand. Guess her right hand was tired? But, after a few seconds, she put her MNG and red plastic bag back to her right hand. Guess she is more comfortable with holding on her right hand? She could most probably be a right hander. (Yes I know the probability of people being a right hander is way higher than being a left hander. :x) At the carpark, I finally manage to catch a glimps of her face. She was looking left and right to see if there is any car. She was mostly probably in her 40s or 50s? I could see wrinkles on her face.

After passing the carpark, we reached block 138. So she stood in front of the lift and waited for her lift to come, while I left for my own home. She should be feeling glad that she finally reached home!

    Good observations on the 1st subject. There should’ve been more insights for the second character – just more thoughts and insights on her actions and behaviour.
