Freaksville

Singapore is starting to become freaky. There is this guy in my office who likes to laze around the lounge area during lunch time. YF and I call him "Fartster" becoz he likes to fart with wild abandonment even though he knows that there are people close to him.
I noticed recently that there are a lot of beggars nowadays. Not baskers but beggars who sit and wait for donations. I don't recall seeing this many beggars in the past or any at all.
Then there are the freaks who do weird things in public. Just this morning, there was this queer lady who was blasting oldies and singing along. She murdered Joshua Kadison's "Jesse" in the train during her "performance".
What the hell is going on?
