20-11-08 (Thursday) "Organizedness"

Just got back from Harbourfront sending off Pei Yi.

Everyone's slowly heading back home for the holidays now. Can't believe that our time here in Sg is coming to an end real soon! Mixed emotions la. You know... That feeling that you can't wait to go home yet wish you didn't have to leave your friends behind.

Anyway... On the way to Harbourfront this morning, I got to experience riding public transport at the peak hour for workers. Whoa... Singaporeans are just so organized its like its programmed INTO them. Walking from one MRT line to the other, the passages seemed as if there were arrows on the ground and lines separating the paths... So cool...!!

I think Singaporeans have developed an excellent sense of balance as well...

Such a small space to stand, no?

Having such small surface area to stand on, no one seemed to be affected by the starting and stopping of the MRT. So cool la...!

They both INSISTED there was an invisible friend there to send Pei Yi off as only Aravind was there. Hmmm... Where's your right hand, Pei Yi? And Ara, your left? Hmmm....

Anyway... I was also thinking abt this on the way when I saw all those couples around. Courtship... Very interesting thing when you compare humans and animals. We take a few months to know a person, then years to understand them, then after 2-5 years of courtship then we decide to tie the knot... Then after ten years, we have like 3 children...
On the OTHER hand... Animals never get to know one another, just release some pheremones, dance around a bit to attract a mate, fight with the alpha male, win, go to some bush and mate... then WALAH!! Offsprings follow almost immediately! All of this in a year or less.
And the MOST interesting thing about this...? WE'RE the ones who're overpopulating the Earth while animals are dwindling off. Heh... Dunno about you but I was pretty amused by this. =P
