The Auntie at the Fruit Stall and Gao Lao Shi and Chan Mali Chan

ha. Last night just before I went to bed, I suddenly remembered three horrible people... i still hate to mention their names.
1) The Auntie At The Fruit Stall.
Since I was 4 yrs old, my maid would take me down to this row of shophouses opposite my place. The second shop in the row was one that I particularly disliked- THE FRUIT STALL. they sold really nice BANANAS and MANGOES and STRAWBERRIES and KIWIS but i hated going there bcoz of the lady who tended the stall. Her face was horribly pallid and she had this look which I simply hated. The unexplainable look. Every time I went to the fruit stall the auntie would never fail to coo "GIRL!!!!". With that, she'd walk up to me, pinch my cheeks and caress me and occasionally carried me (when I was young i was underweight). I hated her like poison! I hate ppl to do this kind of disgusting stuff to me, coz it makes me feel uncomfortable. I didn't dare to tell my parents, although they knew I was afraid of the fruit stall for some strange reason. Each time my parents and I went for a walk, we had to pass by the dreaded fruit stall and I would avoid it by dashing past it as fast as possible. I think once, i dashed to the road and almost got hit by a car. thank God i didnt die. haha. I still avoid that fruit stall now bcoz that auntie still recognises my mom and dad! And when i was in pri 5 I was caught in a bad situation with her. Yuck.
2)Gao Lao Shi
This woman is horrid too. In primary one everyone knew me as "Mrs Teo's Daughter". So i became sort of famous in just one week. Famous among the teachers as well. This has its banes and boons. The bad thing was that this heck of an old woman came to RSS to do relief teaching. And duh, she soon befriended my mom, who is chao ji sociable, and duh, she came to know me. Unfortunately she thought I was cute and angelic and rather chubby, so each time we met, she'd give me a horrid smile and started pinching my cheeks and slapping my butt or clamping her wrinkly hands tight on my knobbly shoulders. BAH. Once I avoided her by dashing into the Girls Toilet. I think she saw me, but I didn't care. I'd rather she scold me than pinch my cheeks. ew. I think by now she should be almost eighty... haha.
3) Chan Mali Chan
This is the worst of the worst. She haunted half of my primary school life. My chinese was terrible in primary one, so my mom hired her to tutor me for chinese. BTW JAS DON'T TELL UR MOTHER ABOUT THIS OR I'M DEAD MEAT. She's a wizened woman in her late fifties or sixties and she looks kind of **er...** undescribable. Every time she came to my place (twice a week) she would say "GIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRLLL!!!!!!!! KAI MEN!!!!" then I would groan and grumble to myself and open the door to let her in. What makes her unpopular is that she is kind of eccentric lah. Then she always talk on the phone instead of teaching me. So I just didn't like her, and in primary five I managed to get this wonderful Taiwanese tutor who knew about 5566. haha...
Yeah I guess u can conclude that I don't like old duffs who coo and pinch my cheeks and act in an irritable manner. haha.
