People live in their most peculiar ways.

When I was walking to school the other day, I saw this old man standing by the traffic light, waiting on his cue to cross the street. You know, in singapore, or maybe in some other countries too, we have this traffic light button attached to the light pole that you push whenever you want to cross the street. So basically, it's designed for you to push once, and then you wait. Now, one of the things that are disturbing about certain people's traits is that some people like to push this button so hard and so incessantly you could actually sense a streak of exasperation wreaked out on it. The anger was reflected so clearly and honestly, the button is innocent so give it a break. And it's not like you get to cross any faster when you push it a hundred times. Believe me, it doesn't work that way.

I couldn't help but wonder, are people so stressed these days that they need to wreak their anger by any means on anything they come across? If this is so, wouldn't the world be a dangerous place to live in?

Anyway, I was at school a couple of days ago when I was queuing for lunch at the foodcourt. There were these two guys standing behind me talking, well, clearly not in discreet, cos I could hear every word they said so very distinctly by exerting the least effort and no intention at all to ever eavesdrop on them. Well, they're just as loud as they could be. Here goes..

Guy A : oh my god, did you see her?
Guy B : Yea, can you believe it?
Guy A : She’s like so fat!
Guy B : What, did she like gain 10 kilos or something?
Guy A : And her make-up, did you believe it?
Guy B : Ya lohh, that was so gross!!
Guy A : And she’s bisexual some more!
Guy B : How do you know?
Guy A : dude she wrote on her blog. She wrote mild bisexual. Well, mild bisexual.. I think it’s so obvious, man. It’s like 100%!
Guy B : Ya lohh..

O well.. Isn’t that disturbing? The problem is that the whole thing was coming from two guys, can you believe it? Two guys!
I just couldn’t help but tilt my head and see how they looked like. I don’t know why, I was just curious. But turned out, just looking at them made it even more annoying for real.
no, really.

Later in the day, I was walking home from the train station as usual when a big fat van drove across me. I was on the sidewalk at that moment and to my surprise, there was a guy looking back at me from the window in the front seat, smiling pervertedly and blinking coquettishly at me three times in a row. I was stunned to my very core and was just able to look at him in awe. O well.. whatever happens to guys these days.


You know, when you’re meant to witness some weird things or weird people acting kinda weird, you just will. In unexpected ways, at unexpected time, in unexpected places. Believe me, they’ll just happen right there in front of you, straight on. And please, don’t even bother to try and run. They'll just find you, somehow.
