Father Host --> Happy Father's Day

Yesterday Father host received my Father's Day present. It is 6 bottles of Tiger beer, and 1 kg each of chilli sausages and skinned potatoes. Just received his pic. He said he has a long lunch coz he's enjoying the food today.

Just came back from a meet up. On the train home, saw a group of Indian tourists (their skin was quite fair though), mostly aunties and a few uncles. There were 2 empty seats opp me. The aunties rushed in and 2 of them quickly took up the 2 seats. Many of their friend have no seats. So,, they made space in between them so one of their friend can sit. 2 seats for 3 persons.

One of them even pointed at my direction, asking an uncle (from their group) to squeeze and seat in any space along my row. Phew, the uncle didnt do it..

Their builts were semi-obease type and immediately after the 3rd auntie took the seat, the passengers on both side quickly made space for them. A young man on the right stand up after he felt uneasy coz it was really squeezy. After the young men emptied his seat, the ladies quickly asked another friend (an uncle) to occupy the young man's seat. Wah lau,,,3 seats with 4 passengers!! Heng, it was my time to alight without seeing other passenger's expressions.. Cant imagine if their were our "Foreign Talents".

I think their mentality is perhaps, in India, they are used to Not seeing any empty space whether on the seats or standing area since ive watched on tv that Indians even stand along the staircase/doors or even on the top of their trains. They felt such a waste to see empty spots on our trains...so die die must occupy.
