The Man Who Walked into the Female Toilet


I was washing my hands in a mall’s female toilet. It was deserted and I was the only one in there. Then came in a young man with short hair, wearing spectacles, t-shirt, long pants and carrying a laptop bag. He walked straight up towards the cubicles.

I was stunned. To make sure he did not accidentally walked into the female toilet, I called out to him: “Excuse me.” He answered “yes?” and walked back to face me. It was then that I saw ‘he’ has boobs and the outline of the bra underneath ‘his’ t-shirt.

Immediately I said: “Er… Sorry.” (I didn’t want to embarrass both of us further by explaining why I apologized). She paused for a second and said: “Oh… Ok.” Then she turned to walk towards the cubicles again. Fortunately he she wasn’t mad at me.

I’m not prejudiced against one’s dressing style. I was sensitive because it’s a female toilet; especially there are many perverts roaming around these days.

Books of Humor

I chanced upon these humorous quotes and encouraging quotes recently. Really funny; great for de-stressing. Takes about five minutes to finish one book.


“It takes you twice as long to look half as good.”
“Your spouse nominates you to go on the nation’s
favourite makeover tv show.”
After carrying your nephew up to bed, it’s you that needs to have a nap.”


“You stop on the staircase to catch your breath, and can’t remember whether you were going up or down.”
“You suddenly wonder why there are so many cars driving on the wrong side of the road today.”


Pet names for each other: Then and Now
Then: Babe    Now: Piggy
Then: Sexy    Now: Sexagenarian
Then: Gorgeous   Now: Gorger


Relaxation comes from letting go of tense thoughts. Frances Wilshire
After a storm comes a calm. Proverb
To every problem there is already a solution whether you know it or not. Grenville Kleiser

Problem accessing internet with Samsung Corby Pro

Is anyone out there using this mobile - Samsung Corby Pro B5310? I bought it few months back and am facing these error messages when accessing the internet: “phone memory full” or “page too large”. Sent it to Samsung Service Center for software upgrade but is still facing this problem.

Though I’ve no problem surfing hotmail and gmail accounts but when comes to sites that have a few pictures, the error messages pop up and I simply could not continue.

It really makes my ‘mobile internet surfing’ unpleasant. Feeling crappy now…

OH! Open House is Back

For those who’ve missed the art exhibition Open House in 2009, OH! 2011 is back.

OH! 2009 was held in Niven Road where owners of the pre-war shop houses allowed the artists to display their art works in their homes. I enjoyed the house hoping concept to view the artists’ works.


 









OH! 2011, as I was informed will be held in Marine Parade in January. The right and below pictures are works of artists Jes Brinch and Teng Yen Lin that will be displayed then. (There should be more artists but I was only given those pictures).




From my experience in 2009, I would like to share what you should pay a little attention to:

  • Do wear shoes that are easy to take on and off. (Foreigners who are new in this country, in our culture we do not wear our shoes into someone’s house).
  • Carry an umbrella as there might still be wet days in January.
  • We were not allowed to use the houses’ toilets back in 2009 in Niven Road. Hence please do your small/big ‘businesses’ elsewhere before you go there.
So mark your calendar for OH! 2011.
