todays update is on a uber random topic.

rainy days are bad days for shopping. went to the bookstore to get my geog books and Amath book replaced. went to the LIBRARY after that (!!!) shopped with my mom for a while, then i started to get annoyed by something.

PARENTS SHOULD NEVER ALLOW THEIR KIDS TO HOLD UMBRELLAS.

this rule applies, no matter whether they are the long traditional brollies, short foldable ones, those that claim to be UV-protected, kid-sized brollies, those on cakes or floral printed 3-for-$10 kind.

Children are known to be playful and clumsy by nature and therefore i would like to put my point across that they are not suitable to handle such a dangerous object -- an umbrella. i can't say how i am utterly annoyed by 5 year olds constantly opening and closing their bright colored umbrellas in the middle of a shop.

Neither can i take pesky 7 year olds holding the long traditional umbrellas as their "weapon" while acting out episode 47293648 of the power rangers, right smack in the middle of the pavement.

The following rules apply to both adults and children : -

When walking in crowds, please kindly hold your umbrella by the handle, tip down pointing TOWARDS THE FLOOR. the uneccessary poking of peoples' legs is not appreciated.

Do not treat your umbrella like a toy. please do not hold the brolly by its handle and start swinging it beside you 360 degrees. Very much true that 99% of the time, you will not get hurt, the person behind you will.

Kindly bring a plastic bag to store your wet brolly and if you happen to not have plastic bag, kindly please DRY YOUR UMBRELLA AT HOME. please do not pause in the middle of nowhere and start violently shaking your brolly to get all the water out onto the floor (or the poor people passing by)



uh.. that should be it. Maybe we should all stick to cheap $1 disposable ponchos =D
