Snippets

+You know you have taken too many taxi rides when:

You open the car door,

to hear your destination being spoken before you could blink.

As it happen, as it was meant to happen, I took the same cab for the third time this year. The driver recognised me and was laughing at me (maybe because of my expression?) throughout the ride. Ahh well. Something wonderful came out from this third time coincidence though, the driver actually gave me his number and ask me to call him if I ever need a taxi during mornings, sparing me the flag down charge too. Heh.

+You know you are in the wrong place when:

You look up from your economics ten year series,

to see a lesbian couple fondling each other while eating fries.

I think I must have stumbled upon the neighbourhood love nest when I decide to study at the 24hour fast food restaurant near my house on thursday. The environment was conducive enough, cushion seats, nice tables and best of all, the "Bala papa baaaa" wasnt too obvious to the ears. But the ambience was shattered some time later when I detect some strange movement from the corner of my eye. Looking up, I was, let's put it this way, bemused to see two girls groping each other with one hand while holding fries with the other. This was followed by lots of giggling and sloppy kisses. Oh, those innocent eyes of mine are tarnished forever. (And to that old lady sitting beside me too, you should see her expression man. It's disgust etched with horrifying fascination. Haha) Ahh. Thankfully that couple left after a while, presumingly to indulge in some other ventures.

But my relief swiftly turned into a choke when I saw the same seats being taken up by my ex tuition friend and his girl. Friendly greeting was exchanged naturally upon such a meeting, though I feel bad that my poor friend had to endure another five minutes of interrogation from his girl before he could change the subject.(I happen to have good hearing by the way) Fortunately, exhibit B was kind enough to show some decency in their behaviour, though I was rather put off by them trying to feed each other while talking continuously. Exhibit C sat at the table nearest to me. (Right after that old lady left) They seem okay at first, and for a while peace reign in this cosy little place. Suddenly, I heard weird sounds beside me. Turning, I saw the couple smooching happily beside me. This time I was spared from further agony though, for the manager came soon after and told the couple off for smooching in public. Phew. Never again shall I study at that corner again. Maybe the restaurant should put up a sign that say "THANK YOU FOR NOT SMOOCHING IN OUR RESTAURANT". XD

+You know you are screwed when:

You came home to find your siblings reading your book with much interest

before coming to you later to ask "Is this M18?"

Haha. Came home just now to find my siblings reading The Cyclist, by Viken Berberian. (A good book by the way,I shall review it later if I have the time) Anyway,they told me soon after that they stop after the fourth page because they had read about the part where the protagonist's girlfriend attempt to rouse her boyfriend from his vegetative state by playing with his "plums" and "leek". Ahh. I'm glad they havent got further to the "strawberry turn inside out" part. Now that will be really damaging to young minds. Hahaha. In case you are wondering, I didnt know that the novel will have such literative imagery when I first borrowed it from the library ok. The cover looks kiddy enough anyway. XP



Hmmm...I guess that's all for now. More entries later!=)
