Sainsbury's inconvenience

well I'm not saying that I don't like shopping in Sainsbury's, in fact I prefers to get my groceries in Sainbury's more than any other super markets such as Tesco or Asda. It is only the Beeston Sainsbury's that brings this problem to me, no where else.

Ever wonder why would someone need to sneak in a supermarket and shopping in a way as if you are a thief? let me tell you my real experience, its so laughable. It's been nearly a year I have to choose particular days to go to Sains, definitely not Tues Wedn Thurs Fri and Sat, as these days D is in store. Sat is permittable as D only works till 2pm. And I thought I would never ever bump into him anymore as I'm giving my highest alert to 'screen through targets' while I'm in the store.

One fine day last 2 weeks, it was a Fri. I had no choice but to get something from Sains. Here comes the one in a thousand million chance to meet him again ever since our last meet a year ago. I was so super duple lucky that I realised his existence before he notice me. It happened when I went into an aisle with spaghetti sauce, I was browsing through the ranges of sauces trying to look for some promotional items, and I was there for quite some time probably about 5minutes contemplating on which one is better. Then, I turned around and saw a familiar shadow...a shadow of an old man squatting down facing backwards to me, arranging some can foods on the shelves. My first instinct told me that he was D!!! I ran, to be more accurate, I walked as quick as I could and as quiet as I could to the end of the aisle and started stalking him from the side of the rack, PHEWWWWWW big relief that he didnt see me at all! I had a feeling to leave Sains straight away but I realised that I still have few other things to buy, so in the end I spent another terrific 30minutes in Sains looking around like I'm about to make a crime and get only stuffs that I want without spending much time on second thoughts, it was a memorable day to me.

Ever wonder why I never go over and say HI to this old friend? A week ago, he sent me this email:

Hi,last night I eliminated you from my list of friends in both Windows Messenger & Facebook. For6 months I think of you,waiting to see you,thinking we are friends. Always you say you so busy;I only have to look in Facebook to see it is more than just studies keeping you busy,but no time for me !
I am sorry,upset,& unhappy but now try to forget you. Soon you will go home,think we never again see each other. I am not a stupid,unkind person,just think that you never intend to see me. Good bye!

ok now still havnt got an idea why would I ran away from him? It's actually started when I knew this Sainbury's staff (nicknamed: D) in the beginning of year 3, me and my roommate shopped at Sains almost every weekend to stock up our food supplies and we (or should say I) often bumped into this 'friendly' D and sometimes have a little chat and I was just being polite as he's been so friendly to people.

One day, he gave me his email address and asked me to send him emails n keep in touch, I didnt bother lots because I thought we would still be able to see each other in Sains regardless of emailing him or not. So, that small piece of paper was eventually being rested on my table for quite sometimes. Then one fine day again, he mentioned about the email that he has given me and questioned me why havnt I added him, he is using facebook so I thought maybe its not harmful to add him on FB since its just a click away and so I did. I didnt bother much because since another coursemate of mine has added him later too. He was lovely when one day he found out from our conversation that my birthday was just over, he quickly gave me a birthday card out of no where when I was paying out at the till. That really surprised me thou. He also gave me books for travel in Wales when he found out that I would like to go to beach during summer, it was so kind of him. He told me things about Liverpool and I learnt some british cultures from him too.

I began to feel the annoyance when he started sending emails with lots of disgusted words (maybe for some people, it is a way of being friendly, but for me it means overfriendly), and attached pictures of him taken with other chinese ladies/girls, this makes me feel that he is some kind of chinese woman pervert and specialised in targeting chinese students from University of Nottingham, that thought thrills me whenever I read his email. The thing is, I seldom reply him if I did, it would have been just once of twice, because I really cannot accept making a friend who has 'special habits'.

This was one of his friendly email:
Hi,just let you know I am still alive !How are you,do you survive both the exams & the unusual warm weather which today has again reverted back to normal U.K weather !Yesterday I said good bye to my Chinese friend,going home for 4 weeks holiday,Also good bye to Vietnam friend,this time so sad as she goes home after 6 years here,so we both think never see each other again,'tho maybe she returns for graduation but most unlikely.Now,only 2 weeks since I saw you,it seems much longer ! Will I se you again,I very much hope so! Also I ask you to be Facebook friend Can I also expect you accept me as another friend !!When will you leave for your placement,I know I will miss you during this time.Also I go to France at end of this month,so good to get away from the crazy stores,why am I still working there,it It is me who is the crazy one ! But then I would not have met you so something good comes with working there !
So many things I want to talk with you so until next time,can we be friends,take care,no worries,only sunshine & smiles every day, best wishes,David He even sent me his photos in France after coming back from the trip, but I did not reply :P

And more emails:
Hi,long time no see,so how is life? Where are you these days,I keep looking for you coming to the stores. So many Asian friends going home,some I never see again,friends I have known some more than 3 years,one Iknow for 6 years !! All this make it a sad time,some time I think why should I make friends or try to help,they all leave eventually.Is this what happens between you & me !!Again I have not been 100% fit,this time with eye infection,maybe 'cos only one eye prevents me from seeing you !!

Hi,Kawan! Apa khabar ?Saya amat merindui anda ! No more,so poor !Some pics.from Bulgaria.I look for you but where are you !And yes,I have missed you,more than I realise ! Let me know if & when you get free time,TX me 079834834,I do want see you again !If only to help increase M'sian words ! Take care forever friends & keep in touch.I ask you be friend on Windows messenger,is o.k ?

Saya amat meriinduianda! No more,that is why I want you teach me more M'asian !!
But more than teach me,I want to see you again,Summer is ending & so log since I last saw you in the stores. I am hoping you get some free time soon ?I don't know why ,when I write message to you on Windows Messenger,it is not sent to you?Also have a new mobile,same number,07983483468, TX me to talk !!!In other words,I am always thinking of you,so take it easy,I really have missed you !!!! Can we forever be friends, best wishes,wait to hear from you via email,Messenger or mobile Best wishes,from David Jumpa lagi,salamat jalan !!

And many more MSN messages which I didnt save in history, I read it out to my roommate sometimes and she felt disgusted too. Not intending to make you vomit here so as a summary, he is acting really strange and that's the reason why I have to avoid seeing him. Now that he seems to have got mad on me being so cold and no reponse at all, it's even a good outcome for myself.

Today, I went to Sains on Sat morning. Another terrifying moment in Sains happened when I was pushing a trolley walking along the corridor, he was walking towards me. I sincerely have to say a big THANKS to my roommate for calling me to tell me that he is in Sains and asked me to be extra alert. As I was behaving like a thief again, utilising a 'high screening throughput' system at all timein store. I spotted he was just right infront of me and without hesitation, I drived my trolley into an aisle in one milli seconds. hahahhaha PHEWWWWW again it was another memorable day for me.

I hope I will never have to do this the third time, will I?

Europe we're coming!!!

YEAAHHHH it will definitely be the best trip ever, because of the accompany of my beloved family as well as this...
