Whats wrong with these people !!!!!!!!!!

Recently, i met a couple of very weird individuals.
There is this China lady working at one of the units at my office towers. Occasionally i would share the sane lift with her.

She has this funny habit of standing right in front of the elevator buttons. Blocking everyone else from pressing to their desired level.

She would just dashed into the elevator, pressed her desire level, which usually is level 1 and flash out her hand phone and just stood there like an idiot.

"Excuse me, level 2." She just stood there like a block arse without respond.
"LEVEL 2 please" (in Chinese) she still stand there like an arsehole.

I got pissed of and stretched my hands over to pressed my button.

She looked at me as if i am a lecher, trying to get fresh with her.
*gross*

Some Night Shots .......

Rename Marina Bay as Marina Bay

S$400,000 spent to rename Marina Bay... Marina Bay

After spending S$400,000 ($240,964) to come up with a suitable new name for the revamped downtown Marina Bay, Singapore has decided to stick to, well, Marina Bay, media reports said Friday.

The city-state’s urban development authorities and global branding company Interbrand spent months deliberating over 400 potential names before settling on the original moniker, according to the Today newspaper. The $400,000 financed a massive branding exercise that involved market tests, focus group discussions and consultations with developers and the general public, Today said.

Finding the right name for the city-state’s revised downtown, which will include the much-debated resort casino, a new business district and swanky retail outlets, was a process akin to parents deciding on a name for their child, National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan. afp
