hello! i'm back thanks to shi hong who consistently motivates me to update becuase i know there's someone who will read my blog!

i sidetrack from the original content first.. i've just thought abt the Virignia Tech thingy.. our school's SSC can start throwing frisbees at him.. mabbie can whack him in the head and den chiong and disarm him.. haha..

ok today's main content will be on roadside vendors.. some of my five cents worth..

today i went out with my parents to the Guan Yin Temple at Waterloo Street and as usual, it would be bustling with devotees and there are people asking for donations all these.. then as you walk down towards the street to OG, you'll see a lot of those religious people who are supposedly helping people to strike 4D.. I was wondering how true were all these stuff lor.. den we continued walking walking and saw this guy.. He seemed to be performing some magic la. So it kinda attracted a crowd.. after a while I realised this was all part of his way of advertising.. cause he started on this magic and claimed that it required time to succeed.. haha.. one was putting raw rice into a container, closing it, and after awhile it would be cooked.. all he say one la..

after that while waiting, he started sidetracking.. all the way to his product, which were related to snakes and soon he put all his focus into promoting his product instead of the magic.. haha i tio scam la.. but anyway he was selling this snake oil and said that it could cure aches and rheumatism all this.. well my parents were victims of all these aches and they bought it.. $30 for a small container.. i was wondering how useful were all these stuff.. If it was that useful and that successful, why don't they have a shop a specialise selling this in Singapore, instead of having to lay a mat under the tree and do all these methods to attract attention.. and futhermore, a shop would at least prove that they are more or less not out to scam people.. well it gives me that snese of security lor.. and i don't really think that such stuff has any scientific backing..

well only time will tell, and if my parents' aches do recover, it may more or less prove something, that being a roadside store doesn't mean that they are out to scam you!
will the feeling just go away after we go our seperate ways? i hope so..
