flawed work of art.

today, kids, I'll be talking about the dangers of grocery-shopping. especially with my mother.


imagine.. 2 bhuge [pronouced ber-huge and is a short form for bloody huge =)] trolleys laden with groceries. it looks empty now, but you have not seen the after picture. wow, I feel like a slimming center agent fella. ok, I admit, the tub of ice-cream & toblerone you see in the photo is mine. truth is, I'm dead afraid of ending up a shopaholic like my mom. hope it isn't hereditary or something.


ok, after picture. took this as I was on the way down the escalator, which by the way, DOESN'T KEEP THE @&$#%^! TROLLEY IN PLACE. stoopid. I was almost crushed by the 2nd trolley while holding onto the first, so it didn't just roll all the way down and hit some innocent passers-by. read: I was almost squished to death. it all started cos' I couldn't stop the trolley from rolling down, so yat came to help me, abandoning her trolley behind me. just as we finally gained control of the damned thing, we got stuck at the end part. you know, the part where the trolley eventually LEAVES the escalator? well, it WOULDN'T budge. can you picture the indiana jones scene now? it is rather unfortunate that the trolley rolled off the escalator just as the second one bumped against my rear end. I didn't know whether to cry or to laugh cos' in my mind, the headlines 'GIRL SQUISHED TO DEATH BETWEEN SHOPPING CARTS' kept flashing... you can stop laughing now.


well, since I was left to my own wandering devices, I stumbled across this part of the supermarket. mum mum? it took me awhile to register the message they were trying to get across to the consumers. yeah, after reading that, I SO felt like plunging my hands into boxes of sugar-coated, flavouring-filled pellets of pure sugar, just to end up with diabetes a couple of years later. did I mention that candy is evil? yeah sure, you get the sugar high at first, but it actually drains you and thus, causing an emptiness within. I just have one thing to say: lucky I don't like candy, unlike cass, who adores the mini skittles. hyuk.

before I end, have you ever seen these scary machines lurking around outside supermarkets?

I never had a liking for them. you'll understand after this true story:
my brother once had this japanese friend who as a kid, wanted sooo much to sit on one of these weird ride machine thingies but his mom who wasn't really sure it was all that safe, didn't let him. one day, his mom got so irritated that she relented. she placed him in a seat, much like the one these gullible children are in and put in a coin. the machine purred and started to jerk a little. suddenly, it jerked hard and the poor boy flew out of the seat and hit the floor with a bone-cracking thud. ouch.
the conclusion? after a lawsuit, the family became a few thousand yen richer, the boy never sat on one of them machines and grew up with much fear in them. so, one day, if you see a 20-something kicking the machine and then running away like a coward, you'll know why.


evil.
