A couple days back, i was in the lift of my house, going down to ground floor. I was going out for dinner, coz mom didn't cook that day. Somewhere at some level beneath my level, the door opened and a lady entered with her dog.

The lady didn't register on babe watch radar (sorry, no offence meant) coz i was all eyes on the dog, that is in close proximity. I quickly tried to think of a way to make the lady rein her dog in closer to herself. The light bulb flashed, and i thought of something.

No, i did not exit the lift. Instead, i went like, "Ahhhhh.... Dog!". Which was meant to make the lady think that i am afraid of dogs and to get her to rein the dog in. But then, i really was kind of afraid. It felt like i had a knife in my belly, and someone is grabbing the hilt and playfully twisting it. Convert that pain to fear, that's how i felt. Paralyzing.

The lady went like, "You afraid of dogs ah?", reining in her dog at the same time.
I went like, "Well... i got bitten by one before."
She went like, "Not this one, this one very friendly.", which was kind of true, coz the dog didn't bark at me.

I do remember a time when i kind of loved these dog things. I then had flashbacks of a scene where there were two girls in school uniform walking pass a dog. The girls bent down to pat the dog's head as they walked pass the dog.

I didn't know what came over me. I guess it is a male kind of thing. If little girls aren't afraid of dogs, why should i be. So i squatted down and reached out to pet the dog's head. I half expected the canine to eat up my hand. But the dog was as the lady said, friendly. It even tried to stand on two leg, putting its front paws on me and attempt to lick my face.

Well.. if anyone is curious to know, i didn't eat the dog alive : D
