i know some of you are waiting for the 3000-word post. but i'm currently not so free to finish it up (especially when my computer blacked out that day & kopped my half finished entry away -.-)
and so... now the main concern is finishing all my unfinished homework and actively studying for the exam... i'll contribute to the post whenever i'm free to complete it as fast as possible alright?
meanwhile, this would most probably be the last complete post unless i'm really free...

i was a jurong point popular yesterday for another round of stationery shopping when i came across these two mothers with three children. they were standing in the middle of an asle talking. not even talking. CHATTING. &&it's not 1;2mins. it's more like 20++mins.
i was intending to walk through the asle to get something. i wanted to walk into the asle from the outer end. but they were there talking. so i thought of walking into it from the inner side. and they were still talking. i wanted to get something they were blocking. so i patiently stood and waited for them to move away after they were done. but they were never done. so i got really pissed and went: "excuse me, can you not stand here and talk" at a relatively loud and clear voice. they never heard it. their children were giggling. that's not the point i know. but i got veryvery impatient. i couln't even squeeze a little to get through. they were standing right smack in the middle of the asle. blocking the ENTIRE passageway. so i went "EXCUSE ME, CAN YOU NOT STAND HERE AND TALK?!"
and without even saying sorry, they shifted to compress against the other side of the asle. i got my sketchpad and moved away.
now i seriously regret not giving them a sound lecture.
the government has been questioning how the younger generation of today's society are getting more and more unaware of people and things around them. i don't totally disagree but i seriously think there is an alternative cause for it other than just our attitude problem. this incident has proved this point well enough. the two mothers don't even practise social self awareness. why would you choose to stand in the middle of a stationery shop's asle and chit-chat? and in the presence of your children. so what if you actually bother to budge and move to the other side of the asle. does it make a difference? if somebody else wants to get something from the other side, are you going to shift to the oppsing side again and squash the other person to death?
it's not like jurong point, a developed and developing mall, does not have a place for you to sit down and chit-chat all you want. such socially unaware parents are in actual fact the cause for today's attituding teenagers. just think. parents are supposed to lead by example. what can such example do well for the future generation.

total crap.
i see the two ladies chit chatting salso pekcek.
the worse thing is that after i left, they were still chatting. -.-
i tihnk they were at it for at least 40mins.
GOSH. mothers these days.

hais. have to complete my last homework le. (:

BYEBYE/
