benjicajess becomes the host for a scorched cincau, a fun-sized miss, a cuppa man, his royal shortness & a female serpentine

*winks at you peeps*
as for now, only you and I know.
Do we?
Or do we not?
When I was doing my usual shopping just now in Gurney Plaza after lunch with sis Rachel, I caught sight of a something so horrendously wrong.
Well, look at this. A mother and her little daughter.
Nothing wrong, yes?
BUT LOOK FROM ANOTHER ANGLE
-face censored due to privacy-
WHATTHEFLIP???
NO WAY!
I don’t know if it’s just me, or is this really an abomination??
P.S : Mom, I know you read my blog so… please don’t leash me like that if I get another speeding summon? Pretty please? =P =P
I JUST DON’T GET IT!
IS IT RIGHT TO DO THIS??
OR EVEN SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE?
edit :Maybe it happens overseas? As said by some of my readers.
But certainly NOT by Asian culture!
The leash was tied to her wrist!
The poor kid was seen staring into a blank space the whole time while being ‘leashed and walked’ by her ‘mother’.
Well I assume, she obviously ain’t her biological mother as the kid is most probably from African-American parentage and the lady is a Chinese.
As they walked away, sister Rachel and I were still in shock and disgust over what we saw. And the rest of the public turned and stared at the same scenario too.
ANYWAY
Below are a few excerpts of articles I found worth a read when I researched more on this matter :
“I’ll never forget the day I was walking with my mom and siblings in Serramonte Mall and watched in horror as a little boy ran forward and was practically snapped backwards by a leash that was tethered to his wrist”
[extracted from : The Poop, the chronical baby blog]
“Even though child restraints, harnesses and leashes have been used for many years, a stigma is often attached to their use. Mothers who have their child’s well being in mind will often be berated for “treating their poor child as a dog.” Dirty looks, finger pointing and lectures on the supposed trauma being inflicted on the child are common.”
[extracted from : eSSortment, info you want to know]
There were however, other people having a neutral stand on this issue :
“I do not like the idea of using a harness on a child, but I don’t condemn other parents’ decision to use one. Before I became a parent, I thought it was just awful to see a child on a leash or in a harness. I am still not entirely fond of leashes now that I am a parent, but I have bought and used one in the past.“
[extracted from : familycorner.com]
However, child leashes can also be an advantage. A parent voices out on leashing her child, pictures included.
Take a look

So YOU tell me now, is a child supposed to be walked by a leash?
WOULD YOU DO THAT??
Or.. should it just stick to the dogs?
It is after all, as subjective as it looks
^_^
Boom! We were all just about to head out for shoppinggggggg~!
Yuki and I
It took me more than a day to achieve satisfaction of checking out the entire place – even so, I couldn’t finish the entire stretch!
There were throngs of people at every zebra crossing. It’s seriously so different in Malaysia whereby everyone crosses the road at their whims and fancy; no regards for safety or whatnot. But here, pedestrians ONLY cross at designated areas.
Where people are to go WHEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~
Remember the pyramid which I took of the Heneiken bottles during my KL trip?
Well, this is a pyramid of the coke bottles.
I dare you.
Thank me if your name comes out in the headlines at the very next day
^_^
Oh, and the lights dazzling Orchard Road are so pretty!
It kinda looks like rain, does it not? ^_^
All of these lights are sponsored by Hitachi f.y.i
Wheeee~
More lights!
Love em = camwhore!
Does it somehow look like faeces?
YES?
Then wait till you see this :

POMMMMMMMMMM!
I apologize if you’ve just had your breakfast/lunch/dinner/supper!
It seriously resembles human excretions, your grand Number Two.
ANYWAY.
Without any specific mode of transport of our own, we obviously had to walk and walk and walk AND walk! Well, I’ll bet my bottom dollar that by the end of my Singapore trip, I’d probably lose 10KGs. *hints at God*
Yes, I was a weeee bit exhausted.
T_T
And somehow made a flippin’ big round and ended up here again.
owells.
The signage and I
We’re here! wooooots!
I’m a sucker for button badges.
Always have and always will.
They have a wall dedicated to Converse fans!
*cheers loudly*
Oops. I’m sorry to all the Jim Carrey fans out there.
Mr. The Mask is mine!!! All mine!!
(see? He’s smiling too)
haha wtf
Ya know how cash can subconciously cascade from your wallets when you’re shopping here? Yeah well, it happened to me. T_T
Would somebody take pity on me please, instead of laughing??
Oh and I pimped my cybershot too!
*sigh* 40SGD gone just like that for making my bff pretty
T_T
Ven and I just outside the Bugis Street
Thirsty. Hungry. Tired.
what else but those?
We had DimSum for dinner
On another night, we went out to catch the fireworks to usher the new year of 2009. Strange as it may sound but I’ve never ever been to the Esplanade before. Yeah sure, we have one in Penang but my foot nor so much as a strand of my hair has ever made its mark there before.
The beautiful church just around the corner of the Esplanade
I stood there, watching it.
Architechure in its glory of the night
Aesthetical values are priceless, so feast your eyes!
Commemorating a wonderful day
^_^
The whole world celebrates together with us~!!!
But, I didn’t go into any of them.. clubs to me now are likened to work. The clubs are, to me a workplace back in Penang. T_T
So I’d rather sight-see thank you very much
^_^
I guess it prolly made Mr. Bean happy to see his name massively printed on a signboard.
AND THEY DO.
WHO’S ROCKIN WITH ME??
^_^
