of (impulsive decisions) and strangers' cars

If there was one thing that I enjoy in life is I live for those random moments, that random conversations with strangers or sudden trips....(but I'm not stupid, like I'll run away rather than towards a man with a gun)

But anyways, I had to go Subway earlier today to defrost breads for tomorrow's sales since we are closed today. Subway's only 15 minutes by bicycle from my uni and I didn't have my bicycle with me earlier today so I decided to just hitch a ride and maybe cycle back just cause it was getting dark and cold so why not.... My flatmate ordered food to deliver and I asked the delivery man if he could send me off to Subway and he said 'Yes!' which is so awesomeeeeeee cause I just needed to defrost breads at Subway for 10 minutes

He's a guy who left his family behind in Afghanistan, finding for money. And he was saying how he was single and all....which didn't really bother me until he asked me when my next shift at Subway was (which obviously I didn't tell him) hahahaha but I got freaked out that  I started talking about religion a lot and pronouncing the word Allah a lot in our conversation hoping if anything at least he'll have conscience and I was whatsapping my friend the whole time, my seat belt wasn't on and I was just ready to jump out if anything (I had to accompany him for a delivery about 15 mins drive) Okay, this sounds more dramatic than how its supposed to be but I mean I've hitch hiked across Europe before so how bad can it be to get a ride to somewhere so nearby anyways...... And I was prepared for the worst if anything hahaha (okay, I'm not naive okay)


But he was cool and sent me off. He insisted on waiting to send me back to uni but I insisted that its okay since I left my bicycle nearby and would cycle back to uni. The door at Subway couldn't budge open apparently it has been quite faulty the past few days, so I decided to just tell my manager and grab my bicycle home.... only to find out that I left my key behind !!! YA ALLAHHHHHH

It was dark already so I went to the nearest kebab shop open, got myself some chicken wings and talked to the worker a bit who's Romanian and said it'd be nice if I chill longer at the shop since there is nobody and he's alone for Christmas, so I said okay and we talked a little until his boss came back

The owner of the shop is from Sri Lanka and moved here 22 years ago, opened the shop for 9 years and has 2 kids. He was busy telling me about if anything was to happen to me, if I were to be dead or something, it would've happened, whether I was walking to Subway or hitch hiking, just to be careful and not be dumb, to be aware of the surrounding the whole time, which is what I totally can relate to.

We talked and talked then he had to do another delivery so he told me he'll send me off to uni (Yayyyyyyy ! OR I'll be walking back in the dark alone instead hmmmm). I didn't have much money with me okay so if I were to offer someone money instead of me it definitely had to be worth more than 10 pounds haha

Had to accompany him to do a few deliveries and went to another kebab chain in town, apparently that was his friend's shop. You'd think they're competitions but they help out each other. Pretty cool eyy ?

Got myself to uni after accompanying him for 20 minutes of delivery food while eating in his car, and at the few last minute bit, I told him I had a business in Malaysia too ! He was more than thrilled and asked if I wanted to work with him for advertising and marketing a little and I'll get paid (imagine that!) .... he was actually looking at doing business together but there's a lot more to that and idk how we can even work together I only just met him and am still studying heh


Thats pretty much how random Christmas of 2016 was for me, it has been another wild and crazy year ;)

(I know I can do stupid impulsive things that makes you go like "there she goes doing something crazy again" but I pretty much know (and hope) what I am doing most of the time kays hahahaa)


Also, believe it or not, I feel like its more dangerous to hitch hike a person nearby where you live rather than outside since they'll find out more about your routine and lifestyle easily so am definitely not planning to do anything like this again..... hahaha oh wells, Alhamdulillah that I'm safe and sound home now :)



This post might make you worry bout how I make decisions in life cause it sounds dramatic but "all is well"
