Last week after work, I was sitting at LauPa Sat with W.
Behind me, there was a drunken uncle, seated with a jug of beer with some of his friends. Well, I ‘accidentally’ heard of their conversation (come on… the uncle voice is real loud!). And I’m simply amazed by the ‘continuous-unstoppable-strings’ of ranting he ‘presented’ to his friends.
I mean… the uncle just goes “you know ah… hiks… she never wrong one…hiks…everything she said is correct one lah… hiks… #@%$&@... hiks…blah blah blah blah…hiks…blah blah blah blah… hiks… and there goes on and on… and on… and on…
To be honest, it’s not the first time I heard people complaining. But this uncle just amazed me, we’re sitting there for almost an hour and the uncle just keep ranting and ranting and ranting about the same thing!
In the end, I turned to W and said, “You know what. I realize something. Complain = saying the same sentences again and again and again. They just use different structure and grammars to present it one after another.” W laughed hard and said, “It’s so true!!”. LOL…
Well, I find it amusing that how people (especially those living in Singapore... =P) loves to complain. I heard from radio few days ago that there’s someone who complained that why the HelixBridge did not have a roof to shade the pedestrians from rain or sun. Duh… I guess that the purpose of everything exists in Singapore is to become an object for people to complain about. Heh~~~
Right… It doesn’t mean that I’ve never complained before. I do complain when the pressure is there or when I think that I was treated unfairly. But yeah… If one day I started to sit down at a coffee shop with a jug of beer in front of me and keep ranting about how bad is my boss, God… please remind me of what I’ve blogged today. AMEN~~~
Went to Boat Quay with W tonight. At first, I was quite reluctant to go since it's Monday morning (people tend to get tired on Monday night, speaking of which mostly is not because of work but because of the 'bluess'... =P)
Two years in Singapore, I went to Boat Quay just once. And it's during lunch time which we actually just sort of pass by... At first, I expected Boat Quay to be like Clark Quay where there's a lot of bars and restaurant with a lot of ang moh around. To my surprise, it's not (guess that's because it's weekdays?).
The environment there is really relaxing and (I would say) classic. There are a few Bars around which has live performance. So basically the two of us just get something from 7 eleven and seat outside a bar with live performance (we get to listen for free!!) enjoying the music. After that, we just seat (at the floor... =P) facing the river for around 1 to 2 hours... starring at the river and sky... right… it might sound dumb, but I actually enjoyed it a lot!!
Heh~~ What I'm trying to say is, it feel really great when I can just get away from the social & working life , sat there and basically do nothing... I really love this 'getaway' activity... Guess I’ll be going back there someday for another 'getaway'... Right... I think I'm started to see ADHD symptoms in me... =P
到最后，最让我惊讶的是 encore 那部分。因为大多数看演唱会的观众是年纪不小的 uncle 和 auntie (虽然有些人还是年轻的，包括我在内啦。哈哈哈。。) ，所以我没 expect 会有很多人喊 “encore!!” 。但uncle 和 auntie们都让我大跌眼镜。
