On being called 'fat' by a stranger

I decided to blog this down after I calmed down, otherwise I can assure you that this blog will be full of curses and swearing.

Three days ago, I was walking through the underpass that links Orchard MRT station to Tangs Department Store. It was really crowded as many people were as usual, doing their last-minute shopping after their work. Unfortunately, I accidentally bumped into this well-dressed guy. I apologised,even though it is not entirely my fault. He retorted, 'FAT!' into my face and walked off with a pissed-off expression! I was so shocked that I was dumbfounded. Honestly, I wanted to demand an apology from him. But the underpass was so crowded and stuffy that I just walked on. I felt humiliated, disgraced and damn furious! I swear that if there weren't many people aroound, I will DEFINITELY demand an explanation from him even if I have to endure the stares from kaypoh shoppers. I wonder what kind of upbringing he has! I mean he can say whatever things behind my back etc, but I can't tolerate that response from him right into my face!

I know I do not belong to the 'under 50kgs league' and admit that I am a size 12, but that does not warrant such a disgusting behaviour from that stranger. This is the 2nd time I am called 'fat' by a stranger. The first time happened in Zara when this American or Australian International School female student called me 'fat'. I shall not recount that incident. That incident was a major turning point as I turned to weight loss pills again.

Now, I feel much calmer. But still angered and disgusted. Alright, am on my way to the doctor's to get my weight loss pills...
