Someone followed us this morning.

I saw this guy waiting below our block when we got out of the lift and made our way to sunshine's school as usual. We hurried through the usual route and while we paused to cross the road. I noticed he was beside us, waiting to cross as well. I didn't think much of it. I was talking to sunshine, and continued to hurry along. I am usually a brisk walker, so i think he fell behind. When I suddenly stopped to talk to my mum who was on her way to the market as well, he was right behind me. The path was narrow - only wide enough for two. He came very close to brushing against me and continued on. My mum stopped me and asked if i know this guy, as he appears to be following very closely to us. I said no. We watched from behind, pretending to be waiting at the road for someone. he slowed down and then stopped.He turned back to look at us. But we still pretended to be waiting, looking around. He pretended to wait for a while, and then he continued on to the bridge. Just as he reached the top, he turned back and took another look at us. I caught that. I was really spooked, and there was no way I was going to take the usual route. We took a cab. 

Now I'm still spooked. I am exploring all possibilities why he could be following me. He plan to kidnap sunshine, thieve, molest, or just a PI from my ex-husband? He was walking so closely behind me, he cant possibly be a PI. So possibly the first three possibilities. Mum said he could have been following us for a while now since he was waiting at our block. No matter, I have established that he was intentionally following me. And he is aware that we are alerted as well. I think I'll make a police report tonight.

Definition:
- conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/normal)

My life has been anything but "normal". The society instilled this vision of such a "perfectly normal" family that I had an unhappy childhood, struggling to understand why my family did not achieve these expectations. And subsequently a sense of loss, when I fail to follow the "normal" route of life that my peers have. It took me years to comprehend that "normal" does not mean anything. It is simply a generalisation of the majority - a grouping of common traits. And in line with human nature, we desire to be part of an acceptance.

But one size does not fit all. We are all unique in our own ways, by our choosing or not. We should celebrate our un-commonalities because we are free to be us.

해가 저물면 밤이 찾아오듯 太阳落山 夜幕降临
내사랑 어김없이 찾아오죠 我的爱不期而至
걸음보다 더 빠른 내 마음은 比脚步更快的是我的心
오늘도 그대에게 가죠 今天也追随着你

울다 웃다 울다 哭了 笑了 哭了
혼자 그리다가 一个人的思念
붉은 잎에 새긴 눈물로 그대를 지우죠 用眼泪抹去刻在红叶上的你

그대얼굴을 바라볼때에는 凝视着你的脸孔
나도 몰래 그댈 따라 또 웃다가 我也不知不觉的跟着笑了
가질 수 없는 꿈인걸 알기에 知道这是无法拥有的梦
두눈엔 눈물이 고이죠 所以 眼泪盈眶

인연이 아닌듯 버리고 버려도 放佛并不是缘分 一次次的舍弃
가슴엔 더 깊이 새겨지네요 然而在心中刻的更深
조금만 버려도 더많이 쌓여서 片刻的舍弃却化为深深的堆积
자꾸 그댈 잊을수 없는데 总是忘不了你

울다 웃다 울다 哭了 笑了 哭了
그대 그리다가 一个人的思念
덧없는 내 인생 我无常的人生
더 하루만 나 편해질까요 让我再安详一天吧

얼룩져 버린 내 삶에 그대란 사람 我斑驳生活里的你
다음생에 가질게요 下辈子我会得到你

그대얼굴을 바라볼때에는 凝视着你的脸孔
나도 몰래 그댈 따라 또 웃다가 我也不知不觉的跟着笑了
가질 수 없는 꿈인걸 알기에 知道这是无法拥有的梦
두눈엔 눈물이 고이죠 所以 眼泪盈眶
