Bowling ball.
Stop wearing such revealing clothings if you don't want your children to take after you.
Stop plugging in your earphones when your children is talking if you don't want your children to plug-in when you speak.
Stop texting when your child is talking to you if you don't want them to multi-task back at you when you're trying to talk to them.
I was on the MRT to Bugis just now when I saw a young lady with her sis/daughter. I couldn't really tell because the lady looks quite young, like almost as if around my age, but she was wearing those supposedly more matured clothes. Which was like a short dress, and it's the kind that does not have any straps on the shoulders. Not sure what it's called, but whatever, I'm not tuned into fashion anyway.
So she was just talking to the child(a rather cute kid too), with her earphones plugged in.
If songs could talk she won't need the child around. So please, for fuck's sake, GIVE THE CHILD SOME RESPECT.
Look at her when you talk, and not at the pixels of your handphone. Listen to her, and not the songs you're playing.
I thought these stuff were common sense but apparently common sense is lacking in most humans these days.
And they wonder why their kids are talking to the songs and not them.
And stop sexing everything up. It's like everywhere I go, I see provocative advertisements in my face, and women walking around scantily-clad. No, seriously, I'd rather look into a girl's eyes and talk to her than talk to her boobs. And I'd rather do something else to boobs than just talking.
On age of humour:
I believe that people's definition of funny changes as he grows. I mean that much is obvious. I used to think that it's tickling to watch teletubbies running around chasing after that stupid vacuum cleaner because it ate some biscuits, or them running around finding Tinkie Winkie's purple handbag.
But not anymore. It's lame. It's stupid. I outgrew that stage.
So perhaps in years to come, I'd realize that my final countdown 'feat' isn't as funny as I thought it to be. See the difference maturity brings about? So what's funny today may become lame in years to come. It's like newspapers becoming oldspapers.
I don't think that I find clowns particularly funny, and I never enjoyed them when I was around 10, so I don't know why are they so tickled. I guess I have a relatively developed sense of humour even back then when I was 10. I'm guessing it has got to do with intelligence which I normally find myself to be in abundance with.
So much to say, yet can't be conveyed through public means. =\
Went to buy bowling ball just now. It is weird how it set me back by $250. But oh well. I never really thought of sports as something which costs, but really, that isn't the case now.
Remember me talking about how advertisers sex things up just to attract attention?
Look at all the sports shops around, they put hot girls, bikini babes, add a lot of water, make them look sexy, and do push-ups, and use them as posters for advertisements. Who do they claim their advertisement fees from? Customers of course.
A basketball player would need to buy sports shoes. The really hardcore kind would buy high-end, specialized shoes(if they exist in the first place) and that would definitely cost. Quality costs, after all.
Just for that small little technological edge over your competitor, you're willing to spend thousands. Makes sense. Sports should be a hobby. It is not a job, and you're supposed to enjoy it. And enjoying something doesn't mean dominating in that field.
The world doesn't make sense, but that's the way the world is supposed to be.
Once again I'm musing at a late hour without much thoughts. It's just random and yea. Hope you found it a waste of time, but I'm always with a consolation stick for you to suck on if you feel that it has been a waste of time.
