World Cup is coming...

The World Cup is drawing near. Can you sense the anticipation in the air? I am so looking forward to zombified days, midnight supper, thrilling football action and waking up at the most unearthly hours. Non soccer fans cannot understand why just for this month, life stops. I am staying late in office these few days to clear as much work as possible, and ensure nothing blocks my enjoyment of TWC.

Have yet to plan leave, which is not good news.

Singaporeans are a funny bunch. Despite our credible literacy levels, it is a wonder that most cannot comprehend the simple theories involved in pressing for a lift. Well, it's really simple. Just press the button that indicates the direction which you wish to travel...like you know heaven wards for inspiration and hellwards in desperation. It really does not help your cause to press BOTH buttons when you only wish to travel in one direction.

Have you ever been caught in such a situation? Your lift is going smoothly on its journey. You are minding your own business. Dang, the lift door opens. The harried person looks at the light which is lit and shakes his head. Sometimes they step inside the lift before realising their destination is in the opposite direction. You can only grind your teeth in mild exasperation. On better days, you smile an amused smile.

They always say it takes all kinds to make the world. You never believe it until such encounters open your eyes.

Oh yes, caught In Her Shoes over the weekend.
