embarrassed
the baker whose cheese brownies and rich chocolate cakes are my all time favourite is a shy and serious chap. for some reason, whenever i enter his shop, he'll take a peep and seeing that its me, leave the attending to his parents and shy away into the depths of his kitchen. in fact, when he first set up his shop just outside my place, i tot he looked like a ex-convict who picked up baking in prison and turned over a new leaf. haha, sometimes i still think so.... so instead of walking the usual way home, ie past his shop, i'll sometimes use another route just to avoid him seeing me. i dunno why this weirdness, just self-conscious and awkwardness i guess. coz we'll both avoid each other's eyes, but i know he'll be looking as i walk by. haha, sounds abit creepy.
today, on my way home, i decided to satisfy my cravings for his sinfully rich and fattening brownies after depriving myself for awhile due to a slowly more-and-more visible belly. as usual, when i walked in, he took a peep to see who the customer was, but instead of going back into his kitchen, he said a loud HELLO and attended to my orders. after boxing up my brownies n giving me my change, he asked in mandarin with a smile, "did u have chicken pox?" OMG, i wanted to die. if only i had more willpower to deny my cravings. "no lah, i've just been very stressed. exams." was all i could mumble back with an embarrassed smile as i quickly turned around to leave. he advised,"must eat more cooling things" and with a "thank you" back-facing him, i left hastily.
ahhhh.... and i tot my pimple breakout has been clearing rather well. damn. i'll definitely be staying indoors this weekend.
