This video has caused quite a stir in the asiaone forum in Singapore.

Well, I don't think a trishaw is meant for 3 passengers. Come on, look at the old man struggling to paddle along Eu Thong Sen Road.

And worse of all, the guys got off without paying and ran away in a taxi.

I totally do not think this is funny at all, but ang mo seems to otherwise. If you are in Australia, some of the humour that these guys try to pull on tv was totally useless on me.

It is in their culture to demean and make fun of people. This is what they call "mateship".

To be someone's "mate", you will be poked around and laughed at. It's all good in their eyes, and they are not having a go at you.

This is something that I'm still not used to. Because I know that brotherly love is to honour one another above yourself. So I've told quite a few of my mates that I'm not comfortable being demeaned all the time in the name of good fun mateship.

They left me alone since. Although I did try not to be oversensitive about it.

Today is Halloween. I won't repeat about the history of this day since I blogged about it last year. Click here if you want to read about it again.



Since today is the day where people don in costume to shock, how about seeing Roger Federer as King Arthur, a knight in shining armour.

"I did feel strong on that rock," the tennis ace said.

GNS.

Especially for you, Ollie.

Bro. i have to say the lads are realli out of line doing this to an old man trying to earn a living. Totally disgusted seeing it! How about asking them to use a bit of brain to find it humorous?!!! Sigh...- izaeel
