Random thoughts of a Disturbed Mind: Catching up...

[Catching up...]

Met some friends from poly/work/Army for dinner today. Singapore is a small country, hence the same people (some of them, anyway) were able to share all the three stages of my life with me.

Had the beef pepper rice at Pepper Lunch. It was good, but not as good as the time I went with Subby and had a bite of his. Some of the beef has already started cooking as I was taking the picture, turning from red to brown/grey. It was kinda weird...The people at Pepper Lunch kept shouting "terima kasih", which meant "thank you" in Malay. Isn't Pepper Lunch supposed to be Japanese?

Cute girl cashier working at the video shop opposite Pepper Lunch. When there weren't any customers, she went outside to watch the drama she probably played herself on the DVD player. I thought she was kinda cute.

After we were done at Pepper Lunch, we headed down to TCC and I ordered an Oreo milkshake which I forgot to take a photo of. I did remember to take one of the wedges we shared.

One of the wedges ended up on the floor when the waitress delivered it. I forgot why, but we arrived at the conclusion that Cindy was supposed to eat it. She didn't though. Spoil-sport.

Found the above sticker pasted on some weird looking equipment in Park Mall. It has got to be the most elaborate warning sticker involving stick-men that I've ever seen. I guess a picture tells a thousand words...And gave me a few sniggers.

How could the day be complete without meeting some inconsiderate people on public transport? The bus was packed, and Cindy was standing next to me when the two people in the seats in front of me alighted. Personally, I would never take a seat in such a situation (a packed bus) if there were ladies or elderly people standing near me, even if I were the closest one to the newly-emptied seat. I would give them first shot at the seat, and take it only if it was apparent after a while that they were not interested. How can anyone (a healthy male) feel good about snatching a seat from a lady in heels, much less an elderly person?

Unfortunately, the two guys in the photo above did not share my sentiments. They took the seats immediately, and mind you, since I was standing directly in front of the seats, the two of them had to pull off some skillful moves (you know what I mean) to get the seats. The one on the inside actually squeezed past Cindy and in the process stepped on her foot. This, despite me asking Cindy to take the seat, loud enough for everyone nearby to hear. The best thing was when Cindy complained to me about Mr My-Ass-Is-So-Big-I'm-Tired-From-Carrying-It-Around-And-I-Wanna-Sit stepping on her foot: He heard it and gave her and me a cold stare. Dude, what the fuck? You want an award for being a turd or something?

Some of you may know about Crumpler's boo-boo recently. As far as I knew, this was the third case of an online retailer posting the wrong prices in Singapore. For the first time, I was on hand to "take advantage" of the situation. I ordered three western lawns (only one is for me, I'm not profiting!) and will be picking them up tomorrow (actually today, since it's past midnight). I could have picked them up today if not for me having to change my order slightly because the colours I wanted were out of stock. Anyway, I saw a lady with two big Crumpler plastic bags waiting for a bus today. She's probably one of those who placed an order too. I'll probably blog about the bags in greater detail after I pick them up. It's times like this when you see the good and the bad about people.

You could still send me the link via MSN. MSN now allows sending of messages to people who are offline. You gotta upgrade to Messenger Live though.

And how is it that you always find all these out-of-the-ordinary videos on YouTube? First the Indian guy on the bus and now this. -laughs-
