weirdness on trains
People who do evangelistic/missionary work on MRTs freak me out. They come in huge groups, wear suits, and are mostly Caucasian (for some reason). They sit next to you, smile in a pseudo-friendly-but-in-fact-highly-scary manner and ask you things like, "Have you welcomed God into your life?" When you give them horrified oh please no not again I should be the last person you do this to looks they smile even wider (probably because at this point we're in a tunnel, the station is nowhere in sight and there is no escape for poor me) and launch into an obviously well-practised spiel - "Unbelievers and sinners will live in misery!", and such (they're Mormons, most of the time). Throughout I will squirm in my seat, attempt to tune him/her out, smile weakly at his/her intrusive questions, take the brochure, laugh awkwardly, etc.
It's happened to me at least twice on the train. Do I like attract these people or something?? Like, do I give off I-am-not-religious vibes? It's highly freaky when some stranger sits/stands next to you and suddenly starts smiling in a chummy manner and attempts to chat with you about your personal life. In future I should hide my face behind a book/newspaper/sunglasses or whatever.
Anyway, I am really tired. Like really tired. I am not really looking forward to swim carn tomorrow but I don't really have a choice but to go now, haha.
Sigh.
