♫ Kiasu-nisim!! (Part 1) ♫
Listening to? Stanley's 打分数 (i'm in lurve with this song!)
Doing what? Waiting for hair to dry..
Feeling? Sleepy after taking the medicine...
Craving for? Ice blended Mocha @ Starbucks!!
(I'm so gonna get it tmr..)
I wanna blog this b4 i forget all about it...
Singaporean's Kiasu-nisim..In order to show the spirit of Singaporeans, this show tested and proved it(Kiasu-nisim)..
However, what truly amazed me was not of the Kiasu-nisim.
They set up a covered up small tent, with these words outside: "Free gifts here".
You cannot see what is inside and there is no indication of how the gifts would be like.
Soon, a line forms outside the tent with tonnes of curious eyes waiting anxiously for their "Free Gifts".
When interviewed, i laughed hard at their replies.
Q: Hi, may i know what are you queuing for?
A1: Erm, not sure. For the free gift i suppose.
A2: I don't know actually. I saw the queue and i just queued up. (SY: My gawd.. =.=)
A3 Not sure. No idea. Don't Know.
Q: Any idea what the gifts might be?
A: Not sure. No idea. Don't Know.
Q: What do you wish the gifts to be?
A1: Anything, it's free anyways.
A2: Perhaps canned food, anything also can.
A3: Not sure. No idea. Don't Know.
My goodness. Dear Singaporeans.
I know most of us are the typical middle or lower-middle class income.
(And some of the upper-middle class too.)
But, are you guys that hard up?
And you just join the queue that says "Free gifts here" without knowing what you are queuing for?
I had this experience once and i totally felt that it sucks.
My dad made me queue up and i ended up not realising what i'm queuing for.
It is unbelivable how people (and a lot of them, i mean) can do this.
A lot of us just get the free gifts for the sake that it is free.
After getting it we would just dump it at home and it will perhaps stay at the same spot for the next few months.
Most probablye a year later (maybe during house cleaning or finding it by accident) you realised that it has zero value for you and you just dump it.
== I realise this would end up as an essay if i continue. So i shall make a part 2 out of it another day. ==
