Serendipity

Hmm. Seems like I enjoy listing things. =D I’m sure those of you who commute daily in public transport, would puke blood and shake head at some of the behaviour people have. I don’t think driving your own car makes anything better, since traffic is not really smooth during peak hours in Singapore. But I’m sure some of these are what we might have sub-consciously committed as well.. =D

So here goes:
1. Kids who think that they are Tarzans. And that the grip poles, are tree trunks. And they swing from one pole trunk to another.

2. Leaning on the poles. It’s not much of a nuisance, until the train becomes crowded.

3. Giving up your seats to kids. Good deed, until the kid starts running around and wasting the seat in the first place.

4. Sprinters who run into the train cabins, only to stop right after they enter the cabins. Chances are, the people behind you might not have a chance to get into the train since you are blocking.

5. People with big bags. If they are not hand-carrying anything, isn’t it more considerate if you could just hand-carry your bags in a packed bus/train? I think carrying your bags on your shoulder or back wastes more space!

6. People who refuse to move to the back, even if their destination is one of the last few bus stops.

7. Talking loudly on the mobile. And worse still, talking to each other loudly when you’re 10cm away on the same bench. This is a behaviour I find highly amusing. You would somehow raise your voice when you couldn’t hear the other person. The other person did NOT mention that they cannot hear you.

8. Playing loud ringtones on the buses/trains. Do it at bus-stops, platforms, fine. But not in the bus/train itself. The enclosed area makes it irrating to hear your stupid LOUD ringtones.

9. Earpiece-hooking bags. You squeeze so close to the person resting against the panels, that part of your bag hooks their earpieces. And you walk on without noticing. Damn it. I was a victim today.

10. Guys with big balls. Or so they think. I don’t get why some guys need to open their legs so bloody big, that they take up almost 2 seats.

On another note, I finally bought what I’ve caught my eye on the other day! I’ve this weak spot for cute things, and more often than not, I’d tend to buy things that I don’t exactly NEED.

Like this thing here.

Okay, so this is a torch light using stored energy technology, such that you don’t need batteries. Considered cheap compared to retailing prices. $5.

And this! Say this thing reminds you of a dustbin, and I’ll slap your head! Haha, kidding. Nonetheless, it came across as one [dustbin] initially, but since I already have a dustbin, I’m not sure what I should use this for.

CUTE RIGHT?! Maybe I can put my little gadgets in there. Muwahaha.

I keep buying stuffs, with the mindset that it would beautify my new room [decoration]. BUT, it’s coming to 2 years since I last took over this room. Shit. I need to get my butt moving.
