A short poem....
The Crowd - by -Emptiness-
People abound,
Lost in thought,
Walking around,
Doing their lot.
Like books unturned,
Stories untold,
Hiding secrets,
Sorrows, regrets.
Friends or foe,
To each his own,
Helpless to aid,
That is our fate.
People abound,
Lost in thought,
Walking around,
Ends in naught.
Just something I came out with during my trip to Plaza Sing earlier... Was feeling in the poetic mood -- depressed... Maybe its cause I was playing Winter Sonata music earlier before I left... wahhhaa... but music sure has a way of affecting my mood...
Anyway, what is it with us as people, not willing to let others know about who we are seeing? Strange eh... I was with my friend earlier at orchard, and we bumped into someone my friend knew, and that guy was with a gal, holding hands. Once they saw us, guy immediately let go of the gal's hand... interesting enough... haha... So much for making the gal feel some sense of security... The guy was willing to just 'dump' her to protect his image... wahhhaaa... Hope i don't do the same next time... But this shows that Singapore is still rather conservative, contrary to what others believe... don't fall for those stories of NUS hall orgies.... I don't think they happen, and if they do, i'm sure its just a minority...
Singapore really does need a night life... Other than clubbing, and pubbing. Shops should stay open till later! at least 11:00pm! I can't stand it... close at 9:30... so early! And there we are, trying desperately to find a gift wrapper for a present, and nonono.... the stalls all close! Fortunately, we managed to find a wrapper still.... haha.... as the saying goes...
船到桥头自然直。
Oh, and I noticed that Carrefour likes to stack their stuff high up, so high that people who are vertically deficient have trouble reaching for the stuff at the top shelf.... So much for user friendliness... Furthermore, they have no signboard for the different categories, like NTUC has, only signs directly above the shelf... Maybe this is a little hard to understand, you've gotta see it for yourself...
