Every single morning while walking to the LRT station, I would be perplexed by the people that attempt to take more than one set of the free newspapers.
They would take one set, then pretend to walk another round, to take another set. Then when the newspaper distributing auntie sees that, she would be scolding the greedy woman (oh. it's always a woman and seldom a man who's guilty of this).
The angry newspaper distributing auntie scoldings could not deter the greedy woman's want for more newspapers, and MORE newspapers, and even MORE newspapers as the greedy
woman would attempt to stuff the newspapers into her bag/ plastic bags/ kiap under her armpit/ whatever measures just to get MORE newspapers.
Like what the hell. Why do they need so many sets of newspapers for? To accumulate to sell to the karung guni man? Or do they need the newspapers to pick up their dog shit, or wrap vegetables, or what?
If it's for the karung guni man, I'll have to say, they would have to walk alot of times and try to collect free newspapers unabashedly to even earn a miserly 2bucks.
If it's for the picking up of dog shit, then I guess I have to pity the dog for having such weak intestines that it is perpetually shitting.
If it is for the wrapping of veg, well, I guess they consume alot of veg at home.
And I can't think of anymore reasons why they would need so many sets of newspapers as I won't believe that they are taking them for reading purposes.
Of the many traits that I detest in a human, greediness and stinginess beat all others to reign at the top of my billboard charts.
Stay tuned for the next post about stinginess in my cousin's friend. It's now time for me to sleep on my bus that is stuck in a jam. :))

and so..
And so.. the new year has zoomed by, and it's now nearing the end of January.
Previously, I used to love January. After all, it's the month of my birthday, the month of the new year that spells new beginnings, and the month that gives me the most squishy feeling 'cause there's gonna be my birthday.
But this year, it has all changed. I can't exactly remember how the years went by so quickly. The uni years were all lumped together in one huge memory, with some distinct ones that can't exactly be placed into a specific year, but rather, I used the year that I worked with certain people to recall which year was that exactly.
This year, is also the year that I took quite some time to remember exactly how old am I. Is that a sign of impending old age? Or is that simply because I don't exactly have the luxury of time to think about how old am I, and how old am I gonna be soon. Gosh. I seriously feel damn old!!
But this year, I still count my blessings to have such a wonderful family (abeit some unhappiness that I'm pretty sure happens to every single family out there), wonderful cousins and friends and great colleagues (not that they would ever read this blog for obvious reasons).
And this is the year that I finally understood why people set new year's resolutions, and why people indulge in materialistic wants. The latter is just a way to reward oneself after working so damn hard all the time (or that's how I feel la huh).
In other news, I have gotten my iPhone, and I guess it's this reason why I'm perpetually on msn, but seldom have the time to chat, and use the lappy so infrequently that I only use it at
most once a week much to Erinna's annoyance. HA. I'm blogging from my iPhone fyi. HAHA. And I'm loving it. Gosh, the whole world should have an iPhone man. The world would be such a better place. HAHA.
To end off this post, here's my love:
