Scene 1:
Ms. Nomer at the bookstore. There are two copies of the title she wants, both shrink wrapped. She chooses one over the other because the other has a small hole in the shrink wrap.
Two hours later, Ms. Nomer in bed at home, struggling with the shrink wrap. She thinks: "I don't want to get up to get the scissors. Where is the hole in this blasted shrink wrap!?"
Scene 2:
2am. Ms. Nomer is thirsty. She walks groggy-eyed to the kitchen and is horrified to find a cockroach in the sink. She sprays insecticide over the poor bugger, and watches impassively as it goes into spasms.
Twelve hours later. Late afternoon. Ms. Nomer goes to the kitchen with a dirty cup to wash and refill with water. Without thinking, she walks past the kitchen sink to the face sink . By the time she realises where and what she is doing, she is washing her cup in the porcelain face sink.

lol... first scenario is typical of most singaporeans... they'll dig right to the back of the shelf and yank out an identical item to those in the front row, why? because it's not been sullied by grimy hands... how'd you know if it has or not? what if every one had been doing the same thing? then the front ones could have been those at the back, right?
the second scene is more curious... why are you groggy eyed? have you not been sleeping well?...
Groggy-eyed because it is 2am!! How in the world do you wake up in the mornings TOT?
I probably have been sleeping too much and too well :)
