Horror Story of the Century

Alright..Maybe a little exaggerated...How about Horror Story of the Week?

Now...here's a warning: This following entry is NOT for the faint hearted. If you faint at the though of gruesome things...skip this entry. However, if you think you are strong enough, read on.




Here's the story...

Hands up, those of you who have been to the Ikea cafe and restaurant.

I'm sure most of you have.

Now hands up, those of you who would either:

a) Take the glass that they provide (for the plain water) and fill it up with ice and soft drinks.
b) Take the paper cup which people have to pay $1 for, and take a cup of sprite, and because it's colourless, continue to refill it after you have finnished (even though it does not state there that it's refillable... I gues people just lke to assume that since it does not say it's NON-refillable, it's safe to take it to mean that it's refillable...whatever).

Well, you there! You who have not put up your hand... don't lie. Even MEEE...I am guilty of the crime... Alright..granted that I will always tell myself "so what? One more cup only mah..evryone does the same"...TOday, I saw an incident that took the above assumption to a new level.

Da and I went to the Ikea in Tampines...The new mega store...and we ended up having our dinner there. After eating the awesome chicken wings with my hands, it was oily right? So what would a logical person do? Go wash the hands right? Yes. That's what I did (Oh. I feel obliged at this point of the story to pause and tell you people that I ordered coffee today, which was REFILLABLE, because the sign explicitly stated so)

Back where we stopped. I went to the toilet to have my hand washed. The toilet was crowded, so I was not paying particular attention to anyone, not even the person beside me (whom I know for a fact that she was a woman.. duh..)UNTIL I heard her tell her very young daughter who has just come out of the toilet "Quick, girl. Wash your hand". The only reason why it drew my attention was because she was freaking loud. Then that was when I saw it.

Are you ready for this?

She was pouring pepsi from the Ikea paper cup (which of course she paid $1 for), INTO A FREAKING MINERAL WATER BOTTLE!

Now, as if drinking in the toilet was not repulsive enough, she was POURING THE DRINK INTO A MINERAL WATER BOTTTLE!!! (I mean, how the hell can you tahan drinking water in the TOILET? Doesn't she find it disgusting to begin with?)

If you thought that was the end, you can't be more wrong. The next thing she told her daughter nearly made me flip...

SHe said "Girl ah. Quick wash your hand, and take the cup, go out ask papa fill it up again" (handing her daughter the cup)

Sheesh...I am at a loss of words. Really dunno what else to say... As if committing the crime is not bad enough, she had to instigate her daughter to follow in her footsteps...what a great moral lesson. At this age when the girl is still forming her world with what's right and wrong....sigh.

After a long while, she was seen walking out of the toilet with the bottle FILLED TO THE BRIM with pepsi...

Really left me pondering.. How ugly can SIngaporeans get?

Worst, what sort of a girl will her daughter grow up to be?

No wonder they say, what kind of parents breed what kind of child... I really feel sad for her.
