A McDonald's Love Story...

A little old couple walked slowly into a McDonald's one cold winter evening.

They looked out of place amid the young families and young couples eating
there that night.

Some of the customers looked admiringly at them. You could tell what the
admirers were thinking:

"Look, there is a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for
60 years or more!"

The little old man walked up to the cash register, placed his order with no
hesitation and then paid for their meal.

The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off of
the tray.

There was one hamburger, one order of french fries and one drink.

The little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in
half.

He placed one half in front of his wife.

Then he carefully counted out the french fries, divided them in two piles
and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.

He took a sip of the drink, and then his wife took a sip as the man began to
eat his few bites.

Again, you could tell what people around the old couple were saying. - "They
were used to sharing everything."

Then the crowd noticed that the little old lady still hadn't eaten a thing.

She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally sipped some of
the drink.

A young man came over and begged them to let him buy them another meal.

The lady explained that no, they were used to sharing.

As the little old man finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a
napkin, the young man could stand it no longer and asked again.

After being politely refused again, he finally asked the little old lady,
"Ma'am, why aren't you eating. You said that you share everything.

What is it that you are waiting for?"

She answered,

"THE TEETH"
her reply:
we agree wat i told you TUE i'm @ oark mall wat. jsut like we agreed to meet
@ NG MO KIO END UPP. WHO DID NOT APPEARED?
WHO DELIBERATELY DENID THE FACT THAT HER FRIEND IS COMING INSTEAD OF HER~
YOU ALWAYS BACK OFF YOUR WORDS
THEN NOW YOU ARE POINTING FINGERS @ ME
RIDICULOUS
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT DID NOT HONOURED YOUR WORDS. I SAID ANG MO KIO MRT OR
EUNOS MRT.. BUT U TOLD ME LAST MIN DID U REALISE AND YOU ARE STILL SPOUTING
NONSENSICAL WORDS. STILL FEELING SORE ABOUT THE WHOLE THING CHILDISH.

I HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR FARE IF YOU GO OUT OF THE MRT STATION I TRAVELLED TO
MEET YOUR FREN ON SUNDAY. DID I ASKED YOU TO PAY FOR THE TRANSPORT! SO I
THINK YOU SHOULD PAY FOR MY TRANSPORT TO PASS YUR FRIEND THE NECKLACE. COZ
IT'S WASTING MY TIME. WASTING MY MONEY!!! THE WHOLE IDEA IS TP POST TO U BUT
YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO TRANSFER WAT WAT CAN I SAID YOU DELIBERATELY WANNA ME
TO SPEND MORE. CRAZY STILL WANNA ARGUR ON SUN STUFF. CHILDISH!!!

actual letter of what i have sent in response to her reply:
can i ask if your purpose of meeting up is to meet me or to pass your item? because on tuesady, apparently, you passed your item AS PER AGREED. this is not a matchmaking session, i do not have to meet you personallly as long as the item still falls in my hands on the same time and at the same place and i have still fixed your item by the same time and date.
regarding transport fees, do you wanna guess how much my friend spent traveling to meet you then? he exited at marsiling because i thought you were not gonna meet up already and had to re-enter to travel to ang mo kio againh. and that amounts to more than your single trip. i'm not arguing over the transport fees on sunday because both of us have paid our prices. you know why there's no charges for meet ups? it's because both parties have provided consideration - we're both paying for our trips, that is why it is unreasonable to claim. and that is why i'm stopping at dhoby ghaut for you and NOT exiting.
i think it is you who feels sore about the whole thing if you're still dwelling about sunday's matter because that is now irrelevant. what i'm trying to negotiate is this meet up instead. i am not pinpoint any matters yet, i'm just telling you how i feel as a seller. i'm trying to negotiate this patiently, but take a look at your reply - all in capital and screaming that i'm a childish and sore seller - do i do that to you? no! i'm trying to reason here. please give a moment's thoughts before you hurl abuse at me. i guess this means we won't be meeting today. if you're still keen do sms me by 2pm.

what i really want to send in response:
please go to hell. (**insert all the foul words in existence here**)

"if you don't get your hopes up, you can take anything... you feel less pain."
i don't admire my squall for nothing.
i remember when i took home my history paper with a failed grade. that was my prelim. and i remember crying to my mom because i only had 1 elective, and failure meant getting retained. i didn't think that i would fail it.
it's just that i don't think i want that to be repeated again.

i'm not as carefree as you think i am.

maybe that's why i'm such a spineless, goaless worm digging the depths aimlessly.

UN Survey

A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked
was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the
food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure,
In Africa they didn't know what 'food' meant,
In India they didn't know what 'honest' meant,
In Europe they didn't know what 'shortage' meant,
In China they didn't know what 'opinion' meant,
In the Middle East they didn't know what 'solution' meant,
In South America they didn't know what 'please' meant,
And in the USA they didn't know what 'the rest of the world' meant.

Wanting to spit out the jarred thoughts is
Because there's no other proof of my existence
My future that I should've grabbed hold is
Conflicting between "dignity" and "freedom"
Wanting to erase the distorted afterimage is
Because I'll see my limit over there
In the window of the excessively self-conscious me
There are no dates in last year's calendar

Erase and rewrite
The pointless ultra-fantasy

Revive
The unforgettable sense of being

Rewrite
The meaningless imagination

The driving force that creates you
Give it your whole body and soul
After cutting my feelings that grew, I regret
After realizing that after all, I'm just a mediocrity, I cry
A depressed heart
A dirty lie


Erase and rewrite
The pointless ultra-fantasy
Revive
The unforgettable sense of being
Rewrite
The meaningless imagination

The driving force that creates you
Give it your whole body and soul
