Orchard Boulevard
Orchard Road is kinda messy, bland and uninteresting.
I usually go about OR doing people watching. Pretty girls and interesting people. Seems like there is still quite a number. I also try to spot people who are checking me out or people who are feigning ignorance.
Hundreds of people with so many pairs of eyes on the streets. Everybody is checking everybody out. Looking and looking. You stop at the traffic junction. Red light. Act cool a bit. Look around somemore. Anticipate the green light and be the first one to cross the road. Continue walking. Turn back and look occasionally. Not cool. Poser. Xia Lan.
Then that song from 'Closer' comes in.
Can't take my eyes off you. can't take my eyes off you.
Your head turns everytime you see a mirror. Checking yourself out. I'm the man. You walk past the same mirror from another direction. Same deal. I look dashing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I always suffer the misfortune of meeting people who wanna sell me things. Let me make this clear. I will listen attentively to what you have to say. I will nod. My facial expressions tell you that I'm considering. Thoughts processing. You press on. Going for the kill. Then finally you pop the question. Show me the money.
In any case, I will throw away my money for only 3 reasons.
1)I just feell like giving away my money.
2)You are a damm attractive girl and you give me eye contact.
3)You are not so good-looking but you make the effort to dress less.
I had a 13-year old girl who looks like my cousin asking me to donate. I obliged because she looked like my cousin. I thought she really was so I asked her for her age followed by her name. She answered but walked away soon after. She didn't get it. Well.
A poor guy came soon after her and requested for a 10 dollar donation that sounded genuine. He was a really nice guy. But I soon rejected him. ' Hey you know I always do this but I just donated and I've always donated. If you had approached me earlier, the money would have gone to these poor people you are helping' He was cool.
'Man, guess i just came at the wrong time'

If had read my blog recently you would hav realised tat i donated to an old lady. 4 bucks for a pac of instant noodles. I did felt abit cheated out there. Maybe I'm no longer nice but nowadays I feel with so many charities goin ard, we ought to be selective. And esp with those $10 donations tat promises to give u someting, fuck them. These people are hired to work and with every $10 donation they get, they give u some token of appreciation. And outta that $10, $2 goes to that guy/girl who just sold you that shit, maybe $2 goes to the product, $2 goes to the company and how much goes to charity?
And whats with NKF giving away prizes and cash money? I never understood that. These prizes and money are better off helpin those in need man.
Whats wrong with our home?
Totally. Instead of being selective about the organisation, be selective about the person. All organisations are fucked up.
