Scene 1:
Was on the train and overheard this conversation between a gal and her guy fren... No... I wasn't evesdropping... the gal was rather loud... read on...
Guy: So you went out with him already?
Gal: Yes... Ok loh.. it was fun...
Guy: Then how you feel?
Gal: Ok loh... In actual fact, I feel rather flattered loh... you know? That he likes me...
Guy: Does you boyfren know?
Gal: No.
Guy: Then?
Gal: I dunno. I am flattered with the attention this guy is giving me.
Guy: So who do you prefer?
Gal: Well... *laughs* You know hor, this guy... I calculate liao leh... *then gets all excited* His CPF has a sizeable amount to support and pay for house loans, etc, etc... In short, he's super rich.
Guy: Err.. then what about your boyfren?
Gal: Well, we just started working not long ago leh... and hor... his education level... You from express stream right?
Guy: Err no.. from special (SAP) stream...
Gal: Oh... my boyfren from normal stream...
Guy: So you are telling me you would go with the rich guy?
Gal: But hor, he's too short for me la! You know... if we get married, when i wear my wedding gown, i would need to wear high heels, right? You can't expect me to wear flats in my wedding gown!! Then I would be taller than him? How can?? How can the bride be taller than the groom??
Guy: Then???
Before she could answer, she gave up her seat to an old lady and moved to another section of the train.
Throughout the episode, I had not have the opportunity to look at her face. But from the conversation, I only had one word to describe her - Bimbo. Enuff said.
Scene 2:
Was waiting at JE MRT Station to hop onto the train to Yew Tee... Saw this middle-age couple. The guy was hugging the gal from behind... and his hands were on the gal's chest and giving it a hard squeeze again, and again, and again. Next, the gal turned around and faced the guy... snuggled up to the guy and started frenching...
Well... ... you have the rights to be as intimate as you want to be, no matter how old and/or young you are... you may have the needs regardless of age... but... why can't you wait and do it behind closed doors? Kinda weird to see a middle-aged couple engaging in such behaviour in public... ... and obviously oblivious to the hard stares other people are giving to them... But no compliments for the courage.

Which Stunning Spirit of Emotion Are You?
You are the Spirit of Innocence. Always with the
sweet smile of a child, you know how to have
good clean fun, you have a natural vunerability
about you, which makes you able to make friends
very well, as they are drawn instinctively by
the urge to protect you. But even though you
look as fragile as a child inside you are very
strong with your easy look on life. When you
get a partner (because there is no way you
cant!) your life will be perfect.
Which stunning spirit of emotion are you?

What Will You Do With Such Pressies?...
Do you find that when you grow older, somehow, your friends, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, relatives, family, etc... either dun give you a present anymore for your birthday (they usually get away with a good dinner/lunch/high tea) or even if they do, very often, the present is not wrapped up and given to you in a paper bag? Or, another way is to give you shopping vouchers so that you can buy whatever you want and save them the headache of fretting what to get for you. How thoughtful, eh?
The common reasons are "You will still tear the wrapper and throw it away, so why bother buying and wrapping, only to throw it (the wrapper) away? I am trying to be environmental-friendly", or "Aiyah.. Not sure what you want or like. Why not have a good dinner? I'll let you decide on the venue. No worries on the price." or "Hey! Wisma/Taka/Metro vouchers leh... Now you can buy what you like mah..."
Although I admit that it can be a headache shopping for presents, I like doing it, and enjoy wrapping pressies. However, being a practical person, I try to avoid buying "useless" pressies for him/her, only to find out he/she places it in a drawer/cupboard and then throw/recyle it when they do the once-a-year spring cleaning... That was what happened to some of the pressies that were given to me... Before you think I am being unappreciative, let me explain.
Admit it. You wouldn't really like ALL the presents that you have had received so far. There must be some pressies that turn out to be an utter disappointment, but because we are brought up to be NICE people and I believe we truly appreciate your friends/BF/GF/etc for remembering the special date, you just brush off and try hard to replace that disappointed feeling with "It's the thoughts that count". And yes, I totally agree. It's the thoughts that count and it should be definitely be appreciated.
But let's face it. You certainly do not like the item you have just received, and cannot find a use for it. So, what do you do with it? You place it somewhere in your room, your cupboard, your drawer... and then what? The item clearly has become a white elephant.
When I was younger, I would just keep them in a box... but year after year, other than occupying space in my already-over-crowded cupboard, they are just nothing but white elephants... Now that I am slightly older, if i still don't like the present or can't find a way I can use it a year after, I will throw them away.
So, to prevent such things from happening again, even though my birthday is still quite a few months away... I think I would like to be frank, lay my cards on the table and tell my friends what I would like to receive. Let me go construct a birthday list and I'll keep you informed... Or perhaps, you can share your views on what you do with such pressies...
