sad state of the world

i just sent rachel home moments ago, and i noticed this bmw driving up next to us at a traffic light. the driver was alone; a guy dressed in long sleeves. it was most probably his car, as i believe singaporeans to be less likely to have chaffeurs nowadays. anyway, my point is, as i looked at him, i felt pity for him in a strange way. despite the fact that he was driving in a luxurious continental car beside my humble japanese vehicle, it was a sunday night (monday morning actually...) and he was dressed in formal attire? i mean, he looked to be in his mid-40s and he was alone in the vehicle. given any situation he'd still seem pitiful to me. just knock off work? attended an event? wedding dinner, alone? any of that, on a sunday, made me feel sorry for him.

in other news, heard of the "live earth" green initiative plastered all over tv recently? what's with that? if you want to support the green movement, surely you can do your part by simply watching less tv right? rather than turning it on, or organising concerts to contribute to the global warming with all that stage lighting and whathaveyous at concerts... rather counter-intuitive in that sense.

*i'm glad we'd spent plenty of time together this weekend! xD*
