The Ugliness Of Mortals

Was on the way to meet Gary for high-tea at Shang-ri-la Hotel yesterday. Took a train down to Orchard. Witnessed an unforgetable incident that protrayed the ugly side of human nature.


Ok try to picture this scenario.... I was standing in a crowded train. Two guys were sitting together on those two-seater seats.... When the train reached Dhoby Gaut station and the train door opened, an Indian lady shoved her way into the train, pulling her kid... They stood just in front of the two guys. The next thing that happened was beyond my imagination!! That disgusting, highly obnoxious Indian lady pushed her kid IN-BETWEEN the two guys and asked her kid to sit still!!!


The poor guys were in a state of shock... One of them stood up to allow the kid to have a proper seat. However that Indian bitch grabbed that seat as if her life depended on it and sat down happily, with her kid still seated IN-BETWEEN her and the other poor chap.....


I stared in total disbelief!! At first I thought perhaps it was the motherly instinct which sub-conciously drove that bitch to commit such atrocious act. However, her actions proved otherwise.... She was greedy for the seat herself..... I really wondered if her parents ever taught her to be gracious and courteous to at least ask politely if she could have the seat. Maybe she didnt even went school or had proper education before.... Eww~~~. Furthermore her actions were such a bad influence to her kid.... What if her kid grew up to be like her? Gosh~~~~


Can't wait to alight at Orchard to meet Gary and tell him what i saw man.....

Unwell

All day
Staring at the ceiling
Makin' friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me that I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown and I don't know why
Well I'm not crazy
I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy
I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Me, talking to myself in public
And dodging glances on the train
And I knowI know they've all been talkin' bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think that there must be
Something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinkin
Somehow I've lost my mind

Far From The Maddening Crowd

Singapore is overcrowded... It seems that there is not much space for every individual... To prove my point, try throwing a stone out randomly and probably more than 1 person will be hit....

Do you realise that wherever you go, there are always people, people and more people. To make things worse, I happen to be the majority who work office hours. Everyday when i go to work, I will feel like I'm fighting a battle. A battle against fellow commuters. Fighting to get onto the MRT. Fighting to have a space, even to stand, on the train. Fighting to get onto the escalators. There are also occasions where I even need to fight to get into the lift!! Whoever dictates that office hours start at 8am ought to be hung!!

Erm... the ordeal is not over yet... Everytime, during lunch, you will see herds and herds of office life-forms jostling for seats at the eateries, food courts etc....When it is finally time to report off from work, the entire population in Sinagpore seems to report off at the same time with you and then what you have experienced in the morning will repeat itself......

That's not all.... as with all office staff, we have our off days on the weekends.... Gosh.... that means more jostling for people who wishes to step out of their house. Check out the horrendous situation in Orchard on weekends and you will know what I mean.

Singapore is overcrowded and I really mean severely overcrowed. God knows when a major stampede will happen in Singapore man.... Gosh I think I need to get away...far far away from the maddening crowd... in order to safeguard my sanity and to seek peace..... Phew~~~~

Club Street

Met up with Wendy for dinner yesterday. Went Red Dot Traffic and settled ourselves comfortably at our seats at Boulevard. When we were about to place our orders, the waiter sheepishly told us that the dinner menu was not available for weekends and that we could only order drinks!! Imagine the disappointment faced by us!! It was like taking away candles and joss sticks from the hungry ghosts who were released during the Seventh Month, thinking that they could have a feast on Earth... Eww~~~.








Famished, tired and disappointed, we practically "crawled" our way outta Red Dot Traffic, searching frantically for food. Stupid Wendy still had the audacity to insist that she wanted to eat pasta and nothing else!! Grr.....! Oh well, I eventually gave in to her, firstly, as she is my sis and secondly, I do not wish my evening to be any worse off. *(Wendy, don't kill me if you happen to read this. haha)*








Made our way to Club Street and found our "ray of hope". Settled down at this restaurant called Spizza. Finally we had our dinner there. Awww~~~. Food and ambience was nice. Didn't regret making our long, torturous way there man haha :P







Interior of Spizza








Both of us ordered Pasta Marinara. YumYum!!

Sweet Tooth

Boring, sleepy afternoon.... Suddenly, I had a craving for dessert. Particularly Apple Crumbles from Coffee Club. After work I must "die die" find a Coffee Club outlet and have Apple Crumbles to satisfy my craving hahaha :p





Now you know why my sweet tooth is reacting...heh *drooling* :)

Unconditional Love

Came across a story, which I had read some time back but was resurfaced to me again by a colleague from the "parent" organisation. Thought it is quite a meaningful and touching story so I think I will share with you guys, even though I think some of you might have read that before. :)


This is a true story that happened in Japan.

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall.
Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built. The lizard has survived in such position for 10 years! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10years without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came, appears another lizard, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply. For the lizard that was stuck by nail, another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years... Imagine? it has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years,without giving up hope on its partner.

Food for thought:

Think, will u do that to your partner?
Think, will you do it to your Mom,who brought you after a big struggle of nearly TEN long months?
Or at least to your Dad, Friends, Co-workers, brothers and Sisters?


Imagine what a small creature can do that a creature blessed with abrilliant mind can't..
As information and communication technology advances, our access to information becomes faster and faster. But the distance between human beings . . . is it getting closer as well? As for now, I don’t think so…



Please treasure what you have and never abandon your loved ones.
