Quirky Spottings Spotted...

Hmmm, considering that it has been quite some time since I updated my blog, I guess it's time (hmmm, sounds duh) this post came about. And yup, once again, in a seemingly uninteresting island called singapore, interesting quirks could be found all over the place...

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps...

Somehow, I couldn't help but notice this set of railings while on my way back from quasi-work (ie. industrial attachment). Hmmm, obviously the person who chose this particular colour for the railings want people to notice it. But why the attention-seeking colour? Perhaps someone couldn't notice the railings of the previous shade of green because it had a camouflage effect and complained that there were no railings in the forum? Perhaps someone was running/cycling and didn't see the railings because of the above-mentioned reason and lost a tooth? Perhaps it was merely an attention-seeking planner who wanted to attract more people to this area to up the sales of flats? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...

Morbid Biz

Well, I'm not too sure if anyone noticed this one though, but... but... you know... based on the kind of business that's going on around here, it can get kinda ugly especially if the kiddo's not well secured by hand, considering that the business model requires some ten kiddos to... (ie. Ha*g 10 kids)

Chapalang Repair

Take a look at this particular seat. Do you remember taking the bus service with seats being either fully striped or fully plain in colour? Well, this unique has actually two of the different sets in one. Perhaps it was in a moment of desperation that they had no choice but to rip off the backing from another chair from some decommissioned bus? Perhaps it was in the midst of a seat upgrade and somehow the project was halted? Whatever the case, it is definitely a wise method of cost-reduction =)

Chapalang Sale

If you remember shopping at supermarkets, I'm sure you would remember the items being grouped similarly. But hmmm, somehow canned food, insecticide, cooking oil and pet care is linked? Aha, I got it!!! Yup, yup, this must be it. You see: Buying canned foods and stocking them in cupboards might well attract pests like ants and cockroaches, especially if the storage is the kitchen considering that it's a nice dark place that's conducive for them to lodge in. So, you'll need insecticide to handle them. But if you happen to have pets at home and somehow they chance upon the semi-fitting/semi-hyperventilating/semi-dead insect scurrying all over the place after being poisoned, it might well be eaten up by the poor animal. And this is so especially for that dumb terrapin that I used to have (sigh, the da wu gui is gone now). And in such circumstances, that dumb animal might start to feel unwell and hence the need for pet care =) As for the cooking oil, should all fail in the arena of pet care, you know, just maybe...

It's Dark...

The advertisement of a skylight abalone could be seen from afar as it shines brightly in the midst of a dark night, befitting of its branding. But... from the looks of it, or at least for this advertisement, maybe it should have ventured into the electrical lighting industry rather than the food industry, because, well... it really looks like a pile of something that you would expect at the pipe entrance of a sewage plant rather than what someone would call a delicacy. And should that kind of stuff go down your throat, who knows? It might end up as the darkest nights of your life regardless of the branding and it's respective image that it tried to portray earlier on. Hmmm... or perhaps precisely because it looks that disturbing, it has to be an acquired taste and hence a delicacy. Well, as for me, I think I'll pass and not take my chances, and simply settle for simpler food which are in abundance =)

Thought: It's a quirky world after all...
