Rubbish Bin Woes.

Just saw the news clip on TV about pamphlets from the Suntec travel fair being littered all over the Suntec-CityLink overhead bridge. Isn't that just so typical of those few inconsiderate Singaporeans? I guess most Singaporeans will do the same as those people interviewed - dispose when they find a bin, dispose into recycle bins after they get home, or simply reject the pamplets. I personally prefer the latter method, especially when I am near the MRT stations.

The lil' more considerate Singaporeans will not throw these pamphlets everywhere, they will throw them into the rubbish bins, even when the rubbish bins are already overflowing. That is a common sight along underpasses, especially the Yishun MRT Station-Northpoint underpass. Well, at least they are making an effort right?

Yesterday, at Orchard MRT station, I was quite surprised to see the creativity of Singaporean at work, when it came to disposing rubbish. Some ingenious Singaporeans had decided to use the empty Today newspaper racks as rubbish bins. Was that a protest against the lack of rubbish bins, or was that just another act of inconsideration?

Rubbish bins ain't the only problem. I noticed this phenomenon at my workplace - most people walk into the lift, press the button on level they want to stop, and then move on to one corner of the lift. I am sure they want to let as many people into the lift as possible. But why don't the first person, or the subsequent people who walk in hold the door open? Maybe we need to employ some lift attendants (like the famous Japanese lift attendants who announce the level) if we can't do that ourselves...

Anyway back to the issue of rubbish bins, I hope the authorities will put the bins back to the stations. I remember once upon a time, I had the impression that Singapore was a place where you can find a bin nearby anywhere.

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too

Dreaming About You.

I usually leave my handphone on during the night (just in case if anyone want to contact me urgently, eg. a friend in need of help etc). But I think I will be leaving my phone off from now on. Why? In the wee hours this morning, I received three continuous sms . I forced myself outta bed to read the message, thinking it must be something very important. I surprised to read that they were messages from " Dreamchat ", telling me that " someone is dreaming of me ". Oh great! What a good reason to wake me up! It also asked me to call this 1900 number to listen to the message. There was even a member id at the end... So someone still wide awake in the middle of the night decided to use this wonderful service to let me know he/she is dreaming of me leh. wah seh. I immediately deleted the messages and went back to sleep. Knowing I will just have a few more hours of my six hours daily sleep time left. How did this " Dreamchat " thingy got my handphone number?
