ok, heres story for you…
A few mornings ago i was sleeping at my sisters place, and she lives quite a distance from my home, so because i know she is always late for work i agree that she can drop me off at her daughters school with her daughter and i will walk the rest of the way home which is about an hours walk. Its no problem for me.
So, i walk for about half an hour and then i decide to avoid traffic and prying eyes and cut through a really long track that i used to daily run on. Its 8am, bit foggy in Sydney, and there are no people about, only trees, the track and the long river that runs beside the track.
I walk with my usual fast pace and pass maybe two people, say hi, and keep walking.
I have about twenty mintues left of the track and then 15minutes out on the road towards home.
I see a guy dressed in a white sleevless top and really short shorts on a bike riding in my direction. As he passes he slows down to say hi, i reply hi quitely and keep going.
30seconds or so later i turn around and find him right behind me again. He starts talking to me. He says that i shouldnt go in the direction that i am heading because the council workers are spraying chemicals, and suggests another path for me. I say, its ok, chemicals dont bother me and keep going. He stays riding right beside me, and at this point there a more trees and a really steep turn where no one can see you. He asks me what nationality i am and i tell him i was born and raised in australia. he tells me he greek. I say nothing. He keeps talking. He then asks me what is my hurry, i casually look at him and hold his stare and tell him i have a busy day. He tells me, whats wrong? dont you like me? dont you like my wog face? I ignore him and keep walking. get what he does.
He rides ahead of me, stops his bike a few metres ahead to block my path and gets of his bike. He leans over his bike pretending to inspect it. First thought that hits my head “Houston we have a problem”. I think ok Tae Li, five years of training, sure he is big, but you can take him on, get over and done with, dump him in the river and make the story ironic, take off with his bike…hehehe
He looks up and pulls his short shorts right up his crotch. He was starting to **** me off, i mean he was ruining my morning walk. Still noone was in sight. I walk and quickly run through some self defence tactics in my head, but instead i look hi straight in th eye and hold his stare forvere as if sending him a private message to say “dont try anything buddy, your messing with the wrong girl”, and get this, he actaully doesnt grab me and try to drag me into the trees and do whatever it is he had on his mind. He understood my stare very well. I keep going and the he gets back on his bike and says again, why dont you like me? am i ugly he says?
i say, no no, its not that, its just my bf wouldnt be too happy about it. he says what nationality is your bf? i tell him Chinese. Then he says (he had alot of nerve!) IS HE BIG DOWNSTAIRS? i look at him and say very bluntly youll have to ask him yourself.
Finally we see some poeple and he rides off when he sees them as well.
I walk home.
All i can say is that this guy who was big in build had intention to comit an unlawful act that morning. I was only, it was foggy, too many tress and noone around, his foul harrassing language only meant he was only after one thing.
Tae Li.
