There were 2 long queues at Watsons. Being the smart Denslin, I was apparently at the faster queue. Suddenly, aunty A went to the aunty B in front of me and started complaining about how slow the other queue is and oh-so-naturally stood in front of aunty B. But, as people always say, never underestimate aunties.

B: So what if that queue is slow? You still have to queue from the back!
(A shifted behind her, and that is in front of me! But I was so indulged in watching aunties fight that I just let her be.)
B rambled on: Hello? This is not China you know? You don't behave here the way you do in your country? You China people...
(Denslin's heart skipped a beat as it got sensitive.)
A: You think I from China ah? I Singapore one you know!
B: NO! If you're Singaporean you'll speak better!
(Denslin is skeptical.)


At City Hall, I was pushing this couple into the train and conveniently eavesdropped, as I always do. The girl was complaining about how her mother screamed and got everybody in the house to search for a battery.

Boy: What? Your family very poor one ah? No battery? I have a lot at home lo.
Girl, trying to defend: Rechargeable one leh! We've only one.
Boy: I have A LOT of rechargeable ones. In fact I've all kinds of batteries.
Girl: Not those kind of AA one you know? It's what gameboy socket one leh!
Boy: Well, I've ALL kinds of batteries.

They then fell into silence.

No, it wasn't a lovey-dovey bickering.

Do not doubt. It is 'Referee JeffreyJERSEY'.
