Was walking around in Takashimaya when I rounded a corner. There was this boy, 14 perhaps, who was flipping a coin. Up went the coin, and as with everything that goes up, it came falling back down, unable to escape the grasp of gravity
just like how we can't escape our pathetic lives. Just when you thought we would catch it, there's a short, dramatic pasue as you stare at the boy... And he walks right into the falling coin. He goes "ouch".
I nearly got run over by a trolley while I was trying to get my head back after dropping it due to excessive laughter.
On the MRT, there were this 3 girls, giggling and prancing around this guy. Nothing stupid about that except for the fact that they looked 13 and he looked 21. There they were, giggling and blatantly pointing at him as he sat there beside their 3 EMPTY seats. It was probably because he
would have stabbed them if they sat near him had really bad body odour that all of them couldn't bear to sit beside him. They stood behind the glass panel, prodding at it in the direction where he sat and, you guessed it, giggled.
It's times like these that makes me wonder what our supposedly "one of the best" education system's doing to the younger generation. It appears that we are getting smarter academically, but have only the slightest semblance of cow sense.
To think our country will be in their hands eventually. The thought makes me shudder.
