can't believe how inconsiderate singaporeans can get these days, younger ones i'm referring to here. countless times i have seen how old folks stand right in front of seated youngsters on the train who show NO sign of budging. just 2 days ago, there was an obviously pregnant lady directly in front of a priority seat. the guy occupying wasn't sleeping (or pretending to be), just stared ahead at the floor with a chao bin expression. he was not handsome, not ugly too, but immediately i found everything about him so ugly!!! omg i dunno how else to describe such a screwed up person..sometimes i imagine myself being all righteous and going up to these ppl to ask them to give up their seats, but i'm held back by the fear of attracting too much attention to myself afterwards. what a shame that singapore has become so developed, but our sense of community & caring for one another has only served to deteriorate.
on the same thread of public transport, why do i get the feeling that youngsters (gosh i view myself as no longer a youngster!!) think it's un-hip to occupy the front half of a bendi-bus? they must either stand in the circular centre or the back (assuming an empty bus)!
another random thought, in places like taiwan/japan where ppl release pretty lanterns into the sky, where do these lanterns eventually reach? do they suddenly stop combusting and float back to the ground???
and and and.....
i'm gonna get an iphone 4!!!! never imagined the day i would get one, since i'm quite the status-quo person and wouldn't change my phone unless i lost it (quite probable). but, EVERYONE around me has one, at least in the office, and i'm starting to get won over by the user-friendly & superb functions the iphone possesses:
1. for one, it's greatest attraction is its web-surfing capabilities. coupled with a large display screen, i can easily occupy my daily travelling journeys enriching myself with NEWS! now, i always feel i'm wasting my time on the train, but can't really study for cfa cos the book is just too bulky.
2. it's so much easier & cheaper to keep in touch with my friends! i've witnessed the beauty of whatsapp and the fact that sending messages is free cos it's just like an msn chat. videocalling etc. will also be free as long as both parties have data plans...i hope this will overcome my dislike towards smsing..hehe..and i like the fact u can attach photos to your messages, i'm gonna spam my friends!
3. i've been playing around with the downloaded funky camera apps on my friends' iphones and i'm in love with the vivid photos taken :D in future, i wouldn't have to bring my digicam around anymore! hehe
on the downside, monthly bill will double cos of the dataplan...but i'm getting it through my company's corporate plan, so the 16GB iphone will only cost $60, with monthly bill at $40 (500 sms, 200 min outgoing, 32 GB data). what held me back initially was the touch screen typing, but i have tried to acquaint myself to it through playing with bebe's iphone, and it's true humans can do anything as long as they get used to it! and mummy helped me in getting approval to waive the early recontract fee! hehehe...but it'll take prob 2 days to be delivered to my office, i'm EGG-CITED!!!
