Q: You think what, your grandfather own this place ah?

I am sitting inside my favorite bookstore observing a bunch of American teenagers talking. They are a loud bunch. No hint of decency and care of anyone else outside their circle of friends. A girl sits on her boys’ lap. Another kid is showing off things on his phone to them. In between these people sat two cups of coffee, a bag of chips and some artificially sweeten drink. O gosh, the two are now taking a selfie with that cup of coffee. People, if your purpose of a bookstore visit does not include reading, buying books, or doing some important work on your laptop, DON’T ruin the place for others who have that in mind.

I’m sorry. It is fortunate for you that you’ll “be stuck here till 2.30pm with nothing to do.” I have to work dammit. On this paper, on more paper, and perhaps get to that batch of journals as well.

Fifteen minutes in and they’re still talking about selfies. Make good use of your time kids.

Goodie bag,
