Hello, Stranger

Do you have a people's face? I have one.
You ask me:" What is a people's face?"
I say: ”It's a face that people go to in times of need in public areas.”

Okay, citing some examples:

(1) I stand at a far offish location. There’s absolutely nothing conspicuous about my hair, clothes or shoes. But a stranger approaches me from a distance away to ask me for directions.

(2) My ears are plugged in. Seriously, I can't hear a thing you say. However, I do see a stranger waving your arms and lip syncing in front of me. I unplug my earpieces and you repeat your question. I wondered why you didn't approach the other people around me whose ears aren't plugged.

(3) I’m on the move. I walking away from you, yet you catch up with me just to ask me for directions. I’m not the person you would approach that’s within the nearest proximity to you.

(4) I’m in a foul mood. My face is blacker than Orh Dau You (Black Bean Soya Sauce), but that doesn't daunt you. Stranger still comes to me, somehow.

(5) I’m with friends. We're chatting and laughing away. Choices are abundant but the stranger walks up and directs his query to me.

I wonder do I really have such an approachable face or does my face resemble a map? I’d really love to help with directions and all; however sadly speaking, I am one who fails miserably at directions. People who know me are aware of this. Chances of me getting lost in Orchard or Bugis is damn high. So, please pardon me if I say I don’t know. I really don’t. I know limited locations and oh so limited how to get there routes (pretty much one-ways only). Lastly, please don’t ask me if I’m a Singaporean okay. I am. I just don’t know my way around it. :b
