Such a FINE place to be in

We are all good actors.

Take any typical company for example, whenever a financial auditor is coming for their routine checks, the company will become super busy as they try to tidy up all the mess that they are in. Ensuring that the company's SOP are in place, and that all their financial statements and accounts have no discrepancies etc...

Just to look good so everything can appear good when the audits come.

Wayang.


Made a new friend on saturday before the reachlight gathering. His name is Rudyman. Sounds cool eh? Rooo-dee-man. His catch phrase could be like; "yo! I'm Rude. And I live to be Rude to any maggots that dare cross my path..."

Quite a nice chap... Humiliated me and Denise in front of people in Bugis, and forced us to fork out money to pay his company.

Oh well... guess we were at fault too. were waiting for our cell members to turn up. We were just chatting and went to get a drink and before getting back near the ticket dispensing machine to continue our conversation.

So it seems that the "no eating and drinking law" slipped off our minds, perhaps its because humans aren't perfect beings, or could it be because of people's varying definition of a Train Station. Is it inclusive of just the train? and the station platforms? the area after the ticket gantries? before the ticket gantries? The entire area within 700 metres as long it has a path which connects directly to the station's gantries? Can someone please enlighten?

That good friend of mine then approached us, and without saying hi (what kind of friend is that?! I'm so hurt. sigh), he demanded our Identification cards. People around us stared at us, like whoa... a big hoo-ha is happening!!

He claimed that he had given ample warnings about "Do not eat and drink here" through the PA system. Come on:

• It was so noisy at that point, the PA speeches are like background noises.
  
• Me and Denise are conversing at the time, our minds are occupied, our synapses are busy, brain activity is active, we cannot then be 100% aware of things/noise/events/commotions/speeches/happenings around us!
  
• When asked if they did played the PA messages, they refused to show previous records. So did they really play the audio messages?
  
• There wasn't any verbal warnings.
  
• There was no deliberate intention to commit the offense.

you cannot expect people to be perfect. Why isn't there any warning given? Why is it that at that point, there were also people committing the same offense (Probably perhaps unintentionally) and no action was taken against them? Is there double standards?
People were consuming beverages, littering at Pasir ris station on that same day, but why isn't any staff taking action? Are the personnels of various stations trainned differently? Are they trained to diligently enforce the rules or only enforce them if their mood is right?

Oh well, as they say, friends disappoint us at times. Oh well... moving on with life, and lets forgive Mr Rudyman shall we?

And speaking of him, I hope my friend loses shed some calaries soon, or his chances of aqquiring hypertenstion and being hyperglycemic may be high. Not to mantion arteriolosclerosis, which has increased chances of having a myocardial infarction.


My friend!


Bah... oh well... life carries on... yep =)


Reachlight gathering at Oxford Hotel!

Well, the fellowship among friends was very good! Although the food was somewhat disappointing, i guess there are many things we can still be thankful for!









"Grace and her muffin"


"Into a state of euphoria after a bite. mmm..."


"attempting to smuggle it into her bag... bring home and let her sister try..."


"trying not to be the last team to complete the task!!"
