Remember English class in primary school? They’d give you a picture and you’d have to make up a caption for it. And later on, it became make up a story for it?<\/p>\n

Well, when I took this picture, outside Novena Square, I was thinking I could come up with a good caption for this photo.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a><\/p>\n

But it’s not easy to be funny, smart and clever all the time. Let alone any of the time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, these are just some of the ideas off the top of my head.<\/p>\n

“This Fashion cuts corners”
\n“Not that way This Fashion”
\nStory: A disastrous financial year for the company.<\/p>\n

“Fashion Police tickets This Fashion”
\nStory: Bad designs from This Fashion.<\/p>\n

“That doesn’t go with This”
\nStory: Traffic police get creative with their summonses.<\/p>\n

What? Did you say you didn’t laugh? Or think this was smart or clever?<\/p>\n

Then you come up with some lah!<\/p>\n

P.S. Okay, I confess. I lied. When I took this photo, I was thinking if I should become a self-appointed citizen police? I’ll take photos of all these inconsiderate Singaporeans, blocking roads, taking their own sweet time crossing roads, blocking paths, holding their darling’s hands when someone wants to pass by, walking through glass doors of a shopping centre held open by a stranger who himself wanted to walk in… Oh yes, you people know who you are. One fine day, going through my collection of photos, I’ll go mad, take a ping pong bat, use it to slap inconsiderate Singaporeans around and then smash all the car windows with the force of my pent up frustration and then leap off an HDB flat. My death will be on you, oh ye who are thoughtless! Then maybe you’ll think twice about being inconsiderate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
