Digging...? Eeks...

What do you think you will do if you subconciously dig your nose in a public place? And the moment you realize that someone is staring at you, what is your reaction?
1) Quickly act blur and rub your nose
2) Stop digging abruptly and look elsewhere
3) Walk away from the crime scene
4) Continue to dig your nose (*bo chup*)

Why do I have such thoughts? Well, is just that one mister has did this scene and creates an impression in my mind lar. One fine evening, I was taking mrt home from work. Is the usual squeezy scenario where you push me, i push you... selfish people standing infront of the doors and not moving into the train.
But anyway, this is not the point.... Then something caught the edge of my eye. This guy who is rather average looking, wearing a shirt and smart pants, with a smart causal working bag sling across his body. Please note! He is only an average looking guy, but why is he so 'attractive'??? Precisely! He is actually digging his dotty nosey with his 2nd finger from his right hand. And with the bo chup look on his face and with his eyes roll upwards. His chin tilted upwards to convience the digging movements, and the same time to ease the congested traffic in the dungeon. It like EEErkkkkss!!!! Wah lau, in the middle of the waiting platform of City Hall Interchange, this action is ABSOLUTELY NOT tolerable!!!! Please lar, dressed like a working class, so please behave like one. If you are 1 uncle with bald head and wearing the white single and short pants and the flipflop slippers, maybe I will just close 1 eye and shake my head in disapproval.

But this case, no way man! I can't help but practically staring at him straight to his face. Maybe people do have instinct, when they felt that they are being looked or being pressurized, their reflexes awakens, and brings them to the source. When this mister saw me looking at him openly, finally, he felt a bit embarrassed, and I thought he decided to stop doing that. For goodness' sake, he should have done that long ago. He should take care of his own image at least mah! (*Aiyo)
Just as I thought I was being spared from the agony of the digusting behaviour, BUT I was SOOOO wrong!! That mister decided to turn his back aganist (to prevent embarassement from me), and continue to happily dig his nose in another direction............

(...................................................................)

Yes, I was really speechless. What a weird behaviour, isn't it? My jaw almost dropped and at this point the train slowly moves away and the scene slowly faded too...
Why am I not gracious about seeing such actions? Why am I so disturbed by this scene?
I am actually troubled too... Maybe there is a certain expectation framework in my mind. I have already categorized certain group of ppl packaged in a certain way should behave in a expected way.

Maybe like what my "Uncle" says, having less expectations makes ur life easier, and there will not be so many sad incidents happen to you.
But I thought I am not a perfectionist, am I not?
Well, character forms in a most unexpected way, isn't it? When you thought you are not, but actually you are.

Bunch of Kids

Today, meet a group of little kids going to Expo. The way they rattled, they sing, they talk is like a miniature chipmunks wet market... Most people will find them very irritating, but surprisingly, I find them very entertaining. It actually brightens my day and less moody. Imagine, from Redhill travel to Tanah Merah, just the usual handphone ringing, train movements, it is just so routine and dull. Something "so" cute will actually perks your mood up. Even though I don't really like kids, but I do think they are really cute (but still irritating though).

Irritating Train Encounter

Wah Lao!! Today is really terrible lei... Wanna to sleep on the train oso cannot!! (sounds ah lian izzit it) But I can't help it because of the 2 irritating people who had their handphone ringing.

Incident 1 (from my left) - Mister Mohammad thinks that his journey is damn too long, so started to play his handphone.
"Hmm, let me try playing with my new handphone. I think got the jukebox function lei. Let me try try huh... 'uh-chi-bom' (bass sound of the drums coming out) Wah, I am so impressed with myself lei, I can actually compose songs!!!! haha~~ let me try playing it longer ''uh-chi-bom....chi-bom....chi-bom' "
And with this continues from Bugis station all the way to Bedok station, you can imagine how irritating the chi-boom sound is!!! And when you think this is bad enough, there comes another ring-ring horror!!

Incident 2 (from my right) - Mister Cheena dunno-who - wanted to escape only-he-knows-who's pestering, so decide not to listen to his handphone.
"Wah lau, this ah-nia calls me again... I know I suave and handsome lar, no need to start calling early in the morning wah... but I don't want to hurt her feelings lar, so better just ignore the call lar...."
And of course if the ringtone is those nice music song, I might not be so pissed, but is those typical 16 monotone ringing call, and it makes me go "ARGGGGG"!!
"Ringring... Ringring... Ringring... Ringring... and it goes on and on and on and on....... (the usual length of an unanswered call can last up to 1.5 minutes) "

So when you are being attacked first from left then from right.... your mind starts to register all these sounds into the brain, and even when the phone eventually stops ringing, you will start to have hallucinations that the sounds are still there!!! (isn't that freaky!!!) eeeikks!!!

*SPARE ME* - I just want to sleep only mah!!! Isn't that too much for a wish???? :(

Encounter for the Work Day 5

For the past 1 week, i think i have already log as much as 7 tickets (practically >1 per day) for calling the customer helpdesk. there are simply so many things need to apply and ids to be created, and many problems with my laptop.
1) password for laptop hard disk
2) lan administration password
3) internet and intranet password
4) access from home password
5) different database password
6) audio conferencing password
7) etc applications id and password
Wah... i can tell you man, once you forgot the password, thats it. you will never know where is what and what to use. i used to refrain from calling helpdesk as i know how irritating and frustration at times when ppl keep calling and coming to you for the same problem, and when some problem is already on the IT Help online. But what can we do, the website has overflow of data and information and sometimes, i guess it is easier to call and get someone down personally to do things for you.

Moreover, the lotus notes email is something new that I am not familiar with. I have used MS email for >10 years ever since I touched and know Windows. The switch is a bit uncomfortable but it is something different though. But sharks, you cannot change the font size, type and colour when you write an email. That is so boring, but at least, there are some icons for insertion to beautify the email a little, but don't expect too much, that is all given.
