fuel for thought

As a nation, we suck big time. And the worst part? Very few of us actually recognize it, since us Singaporeans prefer sticking our noses and other unmentionable bits into other people's business rather than taking a deep breath and stepping back to reflect on our own.

Monkey see monkey do may be the cause. babies, young children, i guess, are not likely to know what good is and what the opposite is. As long as the people around them carry on with their daily lives, their offspring will follow suit. It is not hard to spot bad mannered people around. The person writing this entry as of 1947hrs on the 14th of April 2008 is one prime example. Now i am not saying that my parents and ancestors are at fault for my current mannerisms. there are just too many people and if i don't follow them, maybe i was led to follow somebody else.

The fact that we have the right of way does not equate to the right of way. Sometimes, it makes more sense to give way, but our pig headed society always gets in the way of common sense. Is it the ego thingy again? Could be. For some reason, giving way in this country means losing face, throwing our pride down the drain, let alone swallowing it. Somebody who indicates an intention to do something before us has as much chance of surviving as a full cream chocolate bar at a fat camp. HAHA!

Wow. in the space of 2 weeks i have been to 2 countries. In a long time too. It feels so good to look down from the skies. People from other counties are super gracious. Crowded shopping malls? Tight back alleys? Everywhere i walked most of the people gave way to me. Even when i bumped into them, they turned round and - no ugly angry face! Hong Kong and Thailand. Thailand was the better of the 2. Maybe because i went with friends instead of my parents and got much more freedom. Yah it was hot and sweat flowed freely but who cares! The experience was a blast, the local people there were always smiling and the girls there super pretty and naturally and radiantly tan.

Everywhere we went, pretty girls just seemed to pop up from somewhere. Even without makeup, they were beautiful to look at. The cashier at a random 7-11 was the best. Even the toilet cleaners were pretty! None of that slutty cheap Ah Lians that we here have an abundance of. Sad to say.

Sounds good? Inside was like shit man.

We were conned! The performers were all old and overweight da bombs! they had all sorts of shows. Ping Pong show, fucking show, banana show.... it would be exciting if the performers were young and sexy. Alas, it was not to be. The ladyboys there were even better looking than the women! If this world were free of diseases, i swear i would climb into bed with one.

My so called friends planned a something for me. Till now, where's my ah qua?

anyway, ladyboys, bad manners and lava lamps aside, work's going to start soon. really miss school. really miss looking at pretty and beautiful thai girls. really miss not having my ladyboy present.
