Your brain registers so much information everyday. As much as we are all so dependent on computers, the Internet and other electronic devices for news and entertainment, it has been the little observations I remember that help me reflect better on the changing of the quotidian life. When the train of information comes and goes too fast, it takes away your time to think deep about everything that comes across our mind. That is why I enjoy jotting down my loose thoughts or pieces of memory I have during the day.
How about www.catchcheatingspouse.org above the driving plate of a cab?
How about old people picking up trays and cleaning up the tables in restaurants and food courts?
How about a construction worker ordering a drink in a canteen, hands holding on to his little pouch? (How about when your family depends on you as an immigrant worker overseas and how about your life depending on as little as your bare hands?)
How about: Singaporean women don’t cook anymore?
How about that twenty-something who has trouble talking because her jaw seems out of place, and how about that friend of hers who still lends her both ears and listens very understandably?
How about a pedi-manicure treat from your friend?
How about the million-dollar flats and pent houses in the Sentosa islands and private yachts parking nearby?
How about a new friend sharing her thoughts with you about your future? And how about you being so comfortable sharing yours? How about you immediately thinking of her as a mentor figure?
How about BreadTalk, right now? (if you read my last post on food)
How about your future?
How about: tomorrow is Vesak Day when everyone does something good and moral? How about you?
How about…
