Complexity meets simplicity..
After a really hot day comes a heavy downpour. That is the basis of the water cycle. As the rate of evaporation increases, the composition of water vapour in the cloud intensifies and finally, rain precipitates back onto the ground and the cycle goes on… One thing I really hate is rainy days. Although it can be a nice day to sleep in late, cuddled up in the warm comfort of your blanket, I dislike the cold and the flooding that may result. Not only does rain physically restricts us, it influences us emotionally. Grey days usually cause people to feel melancholic and dull.
I realized city people can be such weird creatures. Despite it being a freezing cold day outside, they insist on switching on the air conditioner – at a temperature of 30 degree Celsius. Excuse me, an air conditioner does not function exactly like a heater. It is a total waste of electricity and resources! It is this kind of mentality that is hurting our Earth. If only every single one of us has a greater sense of urgency to salvage our humanity by cutting down on unnecessary consumption of resources. Sadly, education has failed to achieve this.
The hype and pomp over the Singapore Flyer was overrated after all. The 30 minutes of ride wasn’t as mind-blowing as I had expected it to be and I doubt I’ll go for another in the not-so-distant future. Probably my opinion is biased because of a negative personal experience. Stood under the blazing sun for 1 hour just to wait for the boat ride from Clarke Quay to the ferris wheel. Inevitably, the sweltering heat will result in people being more grouchy, what more a group who had been so used to life in the air-conditioned office. Moreover, which group of people will actually stand in twos when they queue in waiting? You are talking about a group of 60 people with 90% females here. Nevertheless, here comes the nasty service provider. He took up his loud hailer and commanded us to “line up in twos” so that he can “do a headcount”. Not like we are kids who run about, making it difficult to count. What is so difficult for you to count? To think he even labeled all of us as aunties. Excuse me, did your company train you to talk to adults in this manner? Just because we are going up on the ride for free does not mean that you can discriminate against us and treat us with such disrespect. I do not see such discourtesy when he handled the Caucasians. And thanks to your poor service, I did not enjoy the whole trip. Not at all, Darren. Be prepared to receive a tirade of feedback from your appreciative customers.
