If I could change....

With the festive seasons drawing so close, it’s typical to see crowds scowling and scurrying to get their shopping done.

I had witnessed the crowd last weekend cos I hadn’t had time to get down to some proper shopping until last weekend. Anyway, I’m proud to say I have accomplished my “mission”…finally…I didn’t get too many stuffs, the crowd was appalling, I simply grabbed what I can wear and what I thot looks good enuff to go out. I’m too lazy to look for something that I really liked. They either have no more sizes left, no more colours or blar blar whatever reasons. Hmm…I really can’t be bothered so I ended up getting all my items within a budget of 100 bucks! Great savings…haa….good for my pocket really…

The crowd was exceptional. Changing rooms were having long queues and typically, you’d have those people who ignore the sign that says “Maximum 3 pieces per customer”. You’d still see people with 10 outfits queuing up and totally oblivious to the 10 others waiting in line with only 3 outfits. I never quite understand why these people show such inconsideration to others, as if they’re the only ones living on this planet. I mean who doesn’t want to try on their clothes and get their purchases done? You’re obviously not the only one so why can’t u just show a lilttle graciousness? *sigh*

Even on trains now it’s all packed every morning. Still, there’s always some smart alec who tries to read the papers in the crowded trains. Can’t they wait till they’re in the office or at home? I mean, the train’s already packed like hell and you’re still trying to fight for space to read the papers? Sheesh…and of course there’s the usual “pole dancers” who refuse to let others share the pole which incidentally is for public use.

Singaporeans lack graciousness and lack consideration. If I could change anything, I would change these people. Change their selfish mindsets and get them to be more considerate and be more aware of others around. Although Singapore is a small dote u say…we must never forget how big the outside world is. We cannot constantly think only of ourselves and allow ourselves to be, Jing Di Zhi Wa- a Chinese idiom as being a frog in a well, comparing to how a frog living in a well can only see part of the sky from inside the well, not knowing how big the sky is outside the well. We do wanna grow into a better society don’t we?

Just rambling….ha…
