man.
i miss the quietness of sg!
the honking is still resounding outside.
shanghai is a super noisy place.
i mean like the shanghainese use their horns at every opportunity they get.
sickening can?
the traffic is horrid too.
people can't cross at zebra crossings, cars honk at them too.
at traffic lights, cars are so rude! they even honk at them(at me)!
i mean, it's legal crossing and all, right?
cars don't own the entire place.
SO RUDE!
on the way to the service apartment, i saw a decibel meter!
Serious!
Even the government has realised that shanghai is far too noisy.
Let's pray that this honking does not persist too much.

Today, i got very fed up and tsked everyone who 'offended' me.
i scolded the drivers for not being gracious enough to allow me to cross.
i scolded them too when they tried to take away my right of crossing at zebra crossings and traffic lights.
i scolded people who bumped into me and did not apologize.
i mean, an 'excuse me' very expensive ah?
no right!
A 'sorry' is also free!

And i'm generalising cos like the majority are all pretty rude.
it may be that they are used to this kind of behaviour.
and i'm not used to it.
but whatever it is, it is still rude.
my apologies to the POLITE shanghainese.

oh, another thing i detest.
people leaving their DNA on the ground.
i mean, don't need to leave your id everywhere la.
keep it with you, in your mouth can?

Town is not the only place to be.
So stop crowding it!

typical S mentality.
orchard rocks?
I know there are sales going on.
Sales are all over this nation, i hope you know that.
but seriously, honestly, there's no need to be in town everyday.
that's why the authorities introduced more ERp gantries-
to curb this herd mentality.

Forget the 'There's safety in numbers' theory.
It's not true.

Picture this.
Stadium crowded with people.
A fire breaks out.
People rush to exits.
-they go about this by playing 'Follow the Leader'
-*What If the Leader gets lost?

*The followers die in the flames too.
-during emergencies, no one is going to bother about you.
they'll save their own skins first.
you either escape (praise God!) or you get roasted(sad.) or you get trampled(aWw!)

so chances of being unscathed is only 1/3!


Will you agree it's definitely wiser to do something based on your own intuition and intellect?
i'm sure you do.
