if i can't even find four, how to find four million!?

this is very worrying.

i boarded a single deck bus today and took a seat which gave me complete view of everyone on the bus. (yeah, the one in front facing everyone- but it's a red seat fyi).

for 30 minutes, i tried my utmost to find four smiles.

why four? because recently we have a campaign about 4 million smiles welcoming the world to our shores. very impressive thing coming out from the organizing committee i have to say. it's a whole new concept to SMILING. and i've honestly smiled more over the last couple of months than the past two years put together. but people who've seen me on the street (whom i've smiled to) maybe think i'm siao (crazy).

anyway, where was i?

so i tried to find four smiles. but i couldn't. which was sad. how is it going to be possible to get FOUR MILLION smiles when i can't even find FOUR on the bus?

i'm not trying to target bus commuters. because i'm one too. i may get stoned to death when i get on the bus tomorrow, or the day after, or god-knows-when. i'm a very concerned bus commuter, that's all.

but the point is: can't we be as supportive as how we could ballot and queue hours on end for national day tickets?! i sure hope so.

so come on everyone! smile (i know you want to and i see the corner of your lips curling) so the visitors won't think they arrived on the wrong island come 10 september 2006.
