OK I realised I'm kinda like cooled off the Discrimination against vertically challenged people bit...so I've decided on a brand new blog name. Yea the layout will come soon once Ting Suan is done with it (I can't do it myself I suck at the computer).
My new blog name is trash can! Simple reason. If you realised soon enough I refrain from tiresome ramblings about my mundane life, but I do record some observations of my own, or by others and add my own thoughts to it. Most of it's a whole load of trash, written purely for the enjoyment of myself and the silly people who actually drop by here.
So, yea, do have a great time here!

Bus rides!
I was on the bus today on my way home from Monster-in-law (it's great! in a silly way) with 2 of my HC friends when I noticed something.
Maybe it's because I haven't taken the public bus for some time. I mean, now that I'm in HC, I get two-way private transport almost daily, besides the days when I have council till past 6. And maybe cos it's been camps the past two weeks, CCA Leadership Camp at Pulau Ubin and LEP Camp at the Singapore Sport's School (which has an amazing dorm by the way). And of course, it's also because it's been a really, really long time since I've gone to somewhere that required nearly a one hour bus-ride (since it was just after office hours when I took the bus today). Anyway, something suddenly hit me.
No it wasn't someone else's handbag, don't be silly! It was a question! Well not a very great one, but just a question.
People have always written to the papers complaining about how Singaporeans don't really care about the elderly and the little ol' pregnant ladies. But today I realised, hey, sometimes, it's not really our fault!
I mean, duh, if you were totally reliant on a walking stick, or were 7-8 months heavily and obviously pregnant, I'd give my seat to you anytime! TAKE IT! I mean I don't need it! But if you think about it, what if. What if, you offered your seat to a guy who's just in his thirties but looks old. What if you offered your seat to a 'pregnant' lady who's actually just a little plump? I so think you're gonna get your ass kicked!
Look at Two Weeks' Notice! Notice what happened to Hugh Grant when he thought this plump lady was pregnant when actually she was just a big woman! I mean, something like this could always happen if you aren't careful.
But hey, don't get me wrong. I mean, I'm not giving excuses for OTHER people for not giving up their seats. I give my seat up all the time! It's just I was scrutinising these 2 ladies before me today, and I really couldn't decide whether to offer my seat to them. Sure, they were definitely in their forties and above (if they were regulars of SKII), and they probably would need my seat more than I do. But would they be insulted if I gave up my seat? Would my act of graciousness be mistaken as an insult?
So what I'm trying to say is, if you really ignore a 'needy' fellow (e.g. expectant mothers, the elderly etc) although it is PRETTY obvious they're gonna need your seat more than you do, just remember that YOU are gonna be old (or sometimes pregnant) soon. But hey, if you're one of them like me who can't decide where to put my bet on, maybe we should just remain standing in future!
