Our Immoral Times

Oh my goooooooooooooood, like, you wouldn't believe what I saw that day k???

I was at the hawker centre and ...


Someone was holding their chopsticks.

WITH THEIR LEFT HAND.

It was absolutely disgusting. I wanted to throw up. It was so... so... UNNATURAL!!! It was so... so... so... IMMORAL!!!

I mean, who uses their left hand to hold chopsticks?!?! Everybody knows, ONLY FREAKS OF NATURE!!!

I'm so appalled that the government is not doing anything about it. What's criminal law for if you don't use it to punish aberrations of nature?!

Left unregulated, this will lead to the destruction of the family unit and the downfall of society as we know it.

THE GOVERNMENT MUST NOT FALL SWAY TO THE PRO-LEFT-HANDED-CHOPSTICK AGENDA!!!

Spot the punchline

This is the view from my cube:


Funny right?

Ok, we get the message

I have nothing against choping seats with tissue paper packets. It's a cute practice that spontaneously arose from our national values and circumstances, i.e. overcrowding + need for orderliness + most cost effective solution.

Also, it follows the basic rules of economics. From the picture below, for example, we can deduce that the person on the left wants his/her seat at least 8 times as much as the person on the right. Now that's what I call huge-ass tissue paper!!!

The good ol' days for bums

What with the mini-fiasco on slippery seats and slipperier "bum-rests" at bus stops and MRT stations recently, I thought that this made for a nice blast from the past:


Yes, those "orbid" orange bus stop seats of yore. Often featuring flaking paint and cigarette burn marks, and goodness knows what stuck onto the concave underside. Whatever it was, there was no chance in hell that you'd slip off.

I also remember when these seats were coupled with the equally orbid (ok, "retro") orange and beige striped bus shelters, which really didn't look that bad, until you took a double-decker bus and saw all the shit lying on the roof.

This photo was taken outside Central (at Clarke Quay) a few months back. I doubt the seats are still there...
