The Titanic was sinking, and there weren't enough lifeboats.
So the captain had to persuade male passengers to jump into the icy waters to make room for women and children.
To the British he said. "You must act like gentlemen." They jumped.
To the Americans he said, "You can be heroes." They complied.
To the Germans he said, "It's the rule." They obeyed.
To the Japanese he said," It's the consensus." They obliged.



Then came the Singaporeans and they just weren't budging until he came up with the appeal: "Free life jackets for those who jumped."

I'm going to David Tao's Wo Men Dou Shi Mu Tou Ren concert this SAT! i'm so excited! My all time, never failed me back stage production turned singer/song writer/composer/mtv director/soon-to-be movie director/ex-cop/Californian Taiwanese with a Las Vegas performing Dad/Godfather of Chinese RnB.

wow. that was a mouthful.

and than on the 1st June its Click 5! I'm sure i'll be really excited when the time comes, but for now, i'm still sore me and fad din make it for Maroon 5's concert despite the practicality of the issue. (ie, thurs night and no good seats)

I can't seem to help myself from spending my money on concerts this year.

i blogged about strange people on the train..

Queen Bizzare

this girl who looks to be in her early twenties boarded the train tightly hugging the boyfren's arm like a life buoy. the boyfren only had eyes for her and everything she said was adorable.

"do you want to know what i had for lunch? ~~~~~~~" she said in the teih-est voice i have ever heard.i was immediately frozen and goose pimples started rising all over me at her narration of what seems to be, extremely vital information the bf must know.

"I had........ rice~~~~~~~~...... beef~~~~~~................ bean sprouts~~~~~~~~~~.....and... and ..... and...... "

for those whu were unfortunate enuff to hear me try to teih before, imagine me sayin that... and times 10 the goose pimple factor. acording to Lindy, she sounds like ping guo jie jie from taiwan.

i was in agony.
Lindy was laughing like a mad woman, but she had her back facing the girl.
I was facing the girl directly and am trying so hard to control myself from laughing out loud.

the train was packed, there is no escape. no relief from her "oh~ I am so cute" onslaught.

desperate, i started blabbering to myself. anything to distract me from laughing into the girl's face.

lindy started laughing even harder at my desperation.

the bf couldn't resist her "cuteness" and kissed her on the lips. and the boyfriend asked, "so where did you went for lunch~" in a similarly disgusting tone of voice...

my gawd, they are made for each other.

King Strange

this hip hop wannable boarded the train with his friend somewhere along the east west line, around tiong bahru.

his tall, fleshy but not fat frame was all dressed up in a pink tank top(complementing his fair skin i suppose), camouflage print berms, worn sneakers, over sized sunglasses (it was night!), ivy cap and a thick gold chain around the neck.

frankly, its not like he is a walking diaster, he looked ok (except for the gold chain part, i abbhor thick yellow gold chains. anyone whu is not a loan shark needs to steer clear of them) and his feautures aren't bad.

he stared fiddling with his phone and some reeeeaaallly old chinese songs started playing on speaker. i got a shock. i do mean OLD, as in these songs were probably popular when i was in primary sch, ie like i was 10 years old. they weren't even hip hop songs. gosh.

eg: Zhang Xin Zhe's - Guo Huo

ya. that kind.

and apparently he was so tired that he when he got a seat, he propped the phone agains his ear, using his shoulder as base, and promptly fell asleep. with the phone still issuing old music and polluting the entire train cabin.

strangeness at its peak.
