I feel like Mr Incredibles...

On the way home today, I was asked by two people consecutively, which way bedok and little india was. It's like I wear a great big "i" on my forehead.

Which brings me to what I thought of immediately after:



(I really should be studying clockwork orange now instead of drawing strange stuff like that)

So anyway, I realise that long, brainless trips home on the MRT do help hone observational skills, because 1. There's nothing better to do and 2. It's really better to keep my eyes occupied on banal stuff than notice that couple sucking on each others faces. Like lamphrey, haha. Today was particularly... amusing:

(i) I saw Mr Prince at the station. Foreshadowing much...
(ii) I noticed a cockroach crawling up someone's shoe into his jeans, and was debating with myself on whether I should tell him. I didn't, in the end, because I wanted to see how long he'd take to react, which he didn't, which makes me wonder what guys wear under their jeans (that probably explains why they always look so bulky). ><
(iii) The train stopped, twice, in the middle of nowhere, and some intercom voice came on that mumbled something about a delay. I think maybe the driver of the train before mine fell asleep. Or maybe someone jumped, HAHA. I told my dad the intercom voice sounded like one of those prerecorded pilot voices that assure you that nothing's wrong, even when the plane is turbulence-ing more than a tigger on a sugar high. He replied that, technically, no plane would EVER stop in the middle of the trip. T_____T
(iv) I find it cute, sweet even, but incredibly stupid how couples wear matching rings. I'm talking huge, ugly plastic hearts and other puke-worthy motifs and ostentatious stuff on (wow) matching fingers. I guess it gives them something dramatic to do, when they break up (i.e. throw rings at one another). Like Feimao said, "It's almost like they buy it in anticipation of throwing it at each other." So yes, thanks Feimao, for your idea of making matching rings for my store for potential emotional exploitation.
(v) I think people with tattoos are pretty cool - but not when your tattoo says North South East West in compass order. I imagine his friends bring him along during their hiking trips so that if they get lost, they spin him around and hope for the best.

In other news, I have the Studio Ghibli Songs Plus CD!
