singaporeans are ugly. esp a certain group called the aunties. we had a roadshow for this magazine with the target grp being mums/middle-aged women, and i tell u..the aunties are very good for business. (of cos the goodie bag's very worth it). if the booth's empty, noone would come. if there are ppl arnd, the queue would be tttttttthhhhhhiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssssssss long. and they'll peek into other ppl's goodie bags, and ask to change flavour, change this change that. or they would buy 3 or 4 copies just for the goodie bag!?! (of cos it's business for us haha)

then there are those who board relatively empty mrt trains and they sweep like vultures to a carcass to the empty seats, and yelling to their buddies across the carriage to snatch a nearby empty seat (slaps forehead). i mean of cos, everybody wants a damn seat, but if someone gets there before me, then fine, i'll just stand. no need to shout across to your friend and let the whole world know that u want that seat, so noone else can take it.

there was this girls out loud episode i watched about people queuing up even though they dunno what it's for. they set up a covered booth (with nothing inside, but you'll just get a free pen) and said there'll be free gifts and the queue started forming. and they interviewed ppl queuing and they don't even know what it's for!!

so, moral of the story. please don't develop the auntie-complex. i'd die to find out that one day, a few decades from now, i've become an auntie myself..haha.
