Yesternight, after having the instant noodle which I was craving for since Penang and while I was watching MTV, I heard thudding sounds from my backyard. Feeling lazy, I decided to ignore the sounds but it became more persistent. Finally, I turn my head to the left to see what was the source of the sound. My heart froze.
I saw a man throwing stones at my backyard window to get my attention. That wasn't the scary part but immediately, I recognised the familiarity in that man's frame and behaviour of throwing stones. This was the man who indecently exposed himself to me approximately 6 months ago at the same location.
Approximately 6 months ago, while I was studying for my LLB Part 2 in the dining hall which had a 3-frame window facing the backyard. With my back to the window, I was engrossed in my studies and suddenly, a stone whizzed past me and landed within a short ruler distance from me. I turned around to see a man throwing stones and calling out, "Mel".
Thinking that he was Mel's friend, I went to the backyard to open the wooden door to speak to him. His first words were, "Is Mel around?"
I said, "No, Mel is not around" which was a big mistake because I just revealed that I was home alone. He, then started to whank himself in front of me to which I promptly close the back door. My heart thumping and my hands shaking, realising that I am home alone and worried for my safety. I called Koko Mike and Mel to come home immediately which they did. Having searched the neighbourhood, they couldn't find him. No surprise, he probably would have bolted knowing that I made a call to friends.
Yesternight's incident relived that fear again. The fear of knowing that my sister is coming to stay with me and might be home alone freaked me out. Knowing that Mel will be travelling out most of the time and will not be returning early scares me. Realising that this pervert is observing my timing at home scares me. Bad enough I had a brush with a stalker not too long ago and now, I have to deal with a serial pervert which seems to be targetting my home.
So much for a boring life with all these happening within such a short time frame.

it's probably inappropriate but i still can't help saying this "be careful what you wish for or whine about!" lol
seriously though, perhaps you should inform your neighbours or the neighbourhood watch so people could keep an eye on things. Plus the psyche of flasher is to derive gratification from the shock value of the encounter. So they commonly won't get physical.
BUt still, LOCK ALL DOORS, latch all windows and keep a good hockey stick nearby!
next time he throws stones at your window, you throw your fridge at him.
hey...you had better take care of yourself k? I agree with lobster that you should inform your neighbours.
Thanks! I'll definitely increase my security measures. Just that I'm a bit worried for sis who is coming up to stay with me. Thinking of moving out to another safer spot with more housemates
it just occurred to me....LLB? you're planning to be a barrister at mid-career?
barrista? for real? but u don't even make milo for me. haha.
btw, who's lobster?
a surfing slacker with a big headache; headbanging and abusing the eardrums to seek relieve from a caffeine-overdose-induced, jittery headthrob!
Barrister lah...Jo, not barrista. I have no plans to practice - just studying for the fun of it though its not so funny now.
Hhmm...i'm actually curious. Who is lobster?
