Yeah, Bring Out The Imp In You!

In the New Paper today, there was a report about the fountain at Ngee Ann City foaming with soap suds. Passers-by were thrilled and took snapshots with their mobiles, exclaiming it was X'mas in June!

It turned out that the foaming was caused by some prankster, who may have poured dishwashing liquid into the water feature. Damages are estimated at $1,000 to $2,000 - a measly sum to Ngee Ann City. However, the immense joy it must have brought to shoppers and to myself, as I looked at the photo in delight, was well worth the cleaning up efforts.


Dishwashing Liquid - $4.50
Cleaning Costs - $1000 - $2000
MMS Snapshots - $0.50
Putting A Smile On Our Faces - Priceless!


While I am generally law-abiding, I strongly believe that we need such occasional fun and harmless pranks to liven things up, to laugh a little; instead of leading a monotonous life servicing this or that loan. Stop along your journey and smell the roses, you know?

This reminds me of another harmless prank my friend played on the friendly-turned-not-so-friendly staff of the former Denny's restaurant at the Marine Parade branch years back. After finishing our meals and just about to settle the bill with our week's savings in coins, this friend unscrewed the cap off a salt shaker and carefully turned the shaker upside down and laid it back to it's rightful place, with the salt still intact. Then the cap was placed on top of the shaker's bottom. Any unsuspecting person not in the know wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.

As we stood up and prepared to walk out, ever so proudly togged in our S.A.P. School uniforms, the poor waiter started wiping our table and lifted the salt shaker off the table. What we heard after that was a string of expletives followed by,"XXX High School people also like that ah!"

Over the years, I realised that even brightest students from the best schools were also fun-loving, horny, and even nasty. It is just harder to believe that could be any bad in the supposedly studious ones. Well, believe! We are after all, sinners!

So, to all you people out there, go have some harmless fun once in a while, bring out the imp in you! I assure you, we all like to cheat a little, like a stiff drink, like to skirt-chase, like a good blow job... ahhhhhh... the list goes on...
