the unfathomable
why on earth would some singaporeans:1) wear a draping shawl to amoy street market
- the cleaners are not responsible for brushing past your excess cloth with their gravy laden plate collections.
2) wear sunnies in the shade
- should we call them shadies?
3) wear pretty heels with too-large housewife teeshirt and ugly shorts
- why not go all the way and wear slippers?
4) elbow and rush into trains to stop at the entrance without moving in?
- cos "i wan to be the first to alight mah". hmmm so "can i step on your shoe since you made me smell your yucky hair?".
5) rebond their hair when they have a big face?
- potato head syndrome
6) men who nudge their way thru and not give way to women, children and elders?
- this is baffling cos the guilty are frequently spotted at raffles place or tanjong pagar. where is the gentlemanly finesse?
7) rude elderlies
- old folks here sure lack the mannerisms and friendliness of those in perth. aren't people supposed to be more gentle, forgiving and traffic abiding (cross at proper junctions) as they age instead of jaywalking at 2km/hr and stopping in the middle showing hand gestures when you give them a light toot?
8) people who pretend not to notice queues and head straight to the counter
- say, do we look like idiots with nothing better to do by standing in a single file at spinellis? yes, you. the big chick from morgan stanley. working for corporate sharks may give you free coffee rounds but it sure as hell doesn't give you queue entitlements moron.
9) people who adjust their crotch or panties in public view.
- totally incomprehensible.
10) make their poor maids sit outside the restaurant.
- the maid is a helper, not a guard dog. she is there to make your life easier, not your slave you dimwit.
