Typical...

                Chinese New Year next week!! Happily getting ready, waiting for the bus to arrive at the bus station. Expected the bus to be late (as usual)... But to be an hour late!?! Typical~~ =_=`

                So here I am, waiting for the bus to arrive, listening to my MP3 with my phone’s hands-free. Didn’t know they won’t work together. So only music and can’t hear the lyrics... They command different frequency I think. Great thinking Gracie!!

                So, I’m sat down in the station, listening to music (just music really) waiting for the bus. This is when my old habit emerges again. Behaviour Observation!! This is really fun if you have the patience.

                I play this game whenever I feel boredom coming up. First you find a comfortable place to be/sit, where you can see clearly your surrounding without people getting suspicious of you staring.. ;P  Then you start watching people and ‘Label’ them. Nothing too serious though.

                Theory is that there are many kinds of individuals, hence much different kind of personalities, emotions and behaviour that can be seen. At different moments, our true colours will show. Especially when the wait is too long or unbearable, you start to see anger, impatience, boredom, yawning, hungry, selfish, uncaring etc etc. Being one of the more conservative country, we are still quite negative about things when situation allows.  This is THE situation.. Typical!! Hehe

                I see first 2 empty seats beside me. They suddenly looked so grand, the two plastic chairs. And 3 person are heading towards it (walking would be an understatement). Normally, people should give up the seat to those who needs it (no need to draw it out here..). Well, none of them mattered when you are standing in a crowd of people with sweat pouring out of you. So clearly the girl would not stand a chance against the other 2 guys.. What a gentleman! Whatever happened to Helping a Damsel in Distress?

                Then, a lady with a baby in her arms walks past looking for a seat. Typical! She lost too, in her fight of speed with a cutesy guy in red for the blue chair. So, it’s up to the writer to keep her book & pen for the moment and offer her observation spot for the lady.
