If you get thirsty on board the mrt and need a drink, would you take a sip of plain water from your water bottle?
If you feel dizzy from the jerky ride on board, would you take a sweet to relief it?
Think again for you may be fined.
Sometimes, I would say that 'the law is a ass'. Just like what Mr Bumble from Oliver Twist would say. I mean, the main purpose of the fine is to deter people from littering the public transports. Not to get nitty gritty and pin point events like sucking on a sweet. It's like finding a needle in the haystack. Or what the Chinese likes to say: finding bones in an egg - nothing better to do.
Sometimes when a law is passed, the enforcers should exercise some common sense/logic so as to ensure that the law is fair. Should it fall into the wrong hands, words can be played around and a general term like food and drinks is like the umbrella word for every single thing that you consume into your body. If I accidentally ate dust on board, can the officer fine me for I ate dust? Indirectly, I am eating something, hence consuming something, hence I should be fined. Isn't it so?
I don't know but sometimes, we really should use our brains and practice what normal people would call sensibility. Not merely following the law. Kuo Pao Kun wrote a line in No Parking on Odd Days and it goes something like this: Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine... Fine... Fine lah!
Is that what you want?

In Act I, II, IV and V, friends come in.
In Act III, you are all alone.

I realised I haven't blogged for the longest time already so I should try to write a bit of thing here. Sigh... I have been so busy so recently that I totally forgot about this thing called civilisation. I realised that my conversation topics have decreased so significantly that it is only about my military life. My pathetic military life which I hate talking about. So I shall talk about another thing today.
I proposed!
We were walking in the mall and suddenly this jewellery shop just stuck out in my mind and I told her, "Let's go inside and choose a wedding ring."
She smacked my face and walked away. But before she left, she roared at me, screaming at me telling me that 'that was the most unromantic way of proposing'.
I guess I failed.
All thanks to some annoynomous soul, I think that I shall make my blog interesting from time to time, writing something that will shock the lives out of people.
