An unexpected expected sight

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, ah lians and ah bengs. It's been quite sometime since I've posted something more of substance, rather than fast, plain and absolutely strange posts.

Regarding the title, it isn't a mistake for those who are unable to see. Well, perhaps you will understand when I further elaborate my post. The title is a typical oxymoron, really.

It all began today, when I decided to go to NTUC for some window shopping with my pals. When we stepped into the NTUC, what greeted us was the crisp, cool air in the store. Simply refreshing. And if you did notice, NTUC do play some sort of music in its stores(no matter how cheap some people think they are). We were so happily browsing through the rich selection of mechandises(we were at NTUC extra, actually) when suddenly(!) we hear a bunch of screaming girls.

I'm not exaggerating this. Their screams in a supermarket was highly unnerving. It sliced through the calm, soothing atmosphere with such brute force that it was almost unbearable. But what startled me more was what they were doing.

The five of them -by the way, they are from Holy Innocents' Secondary School- were trying to pack themselves into a trolley. Can you imagine? The five of them tried squeezing themselves into a trolley that is meant for storing food. Heck, even babies don't sit in there! Okay, so they were racing around with the trolley with so many people packed in there, screaming, squealing and acting as though they were in an amusement park. Cheap thrills.

Oh, don't tell me things like, "They will grow out of it", "It's just a phase of their lives", "they're just having fun". Having fun at the expense of the public's peace is grossly unacceptable. I've given up on trying to educate lians. They have their lives, I have mine. But when they intrude into my life by messing up a good day, that's when I get pissed.

Although I didn't expect this incidence to happen today, I did expect such an action from liannies. Well, what can you expect? They're liannies. You know, you know, like boomz? (insert sarcasm)

Ah, they -finally- got chased out of the mart when they supposedly encountered a collision upstairs, and were screaming like it's halloween(which isn't today, kay liannies?). Not only did they not return the trolley, they even went out making the typical vulgarity littered singlish and act like they were not at fault.

Please, liannies, have some sense of decency. You did not only disgrace yourselves as human beings, but even your schools when you go out making a fool in school uniform. I repeat, the school was Holy Innocents High School (or was it secondary school? I have no idea).

Well, that's about all. It is indeed, an unexpected expected sight. I apologised if this post ended up with a lack in substance, scince I do believe I did not live up to what I tried writing about properly.
