Then, I realised that there was no sugar next to the shelves of tea. Walked around.. and around the supermarket only to discover that they placed packets of sugar next to.... RICE.
Who, in the right frame of mind, cooks rice with SUGAR?
Should I be bothered by the fact that I am bothered by the fact that sugar is not placed near the tea bags? I mean, this is common logic/sense that people who buy tea bags would need sugar for their tea. I had to walk all the way to the other side of the supermarket to get the sugar. And trust me, its right at the other end of the world.
People are so weird. But then again, is it strange for me to actually want things to be placed in a certain way?
Actually, I have a S.L.O.P in my life, which means Standard Life Operating Procedures.
Basically, these are invisible sets of rules and regulations that I use in my life. For example:
Rules about the food that I eat
(1) Some food are not meant to be shared. (eg. soft boiled eggs, potato chips, burgers etc) Basically, this rule covers ALL food that comes in a single serving. Since it is also stated as a SINGLE serving, then only one person can eat it... ME. Hence, if the food is meant for sharing, it should be ordered separately and not as a part of a set meal. Plus, I don't like people eating off my plate/bowl without asking. =(
(2) Stale water are not meant for drinking.
If a cup of water (be it soft drinks or just plain water) is left on the table for more than half a day, it is (based on my standards) not fit for consumption. The same rule applies for drinks with ice that have melted. They are not fit for drinking if all the ice are melted.
(3) I don't eat half eaten food.
Yes. I know there are straving children in Africa. But i just don't like eating people's leftovers. The same rule applies for other people too. I don't offer people my leftovers. Another way to look at this is actually kind of like replacing food with Bf. I don't offer my ex-bfs to other people when I'm done with them. Its NOT nice and definitely RUDE.
Its strange how I think of food and Bfs together. But anyway, they are quite similar.. they both have expiry dates. Moving on..
Rules about non-food items
(1) CDs should be arranged according to their genre.
Yes. I do place my CDs according to their genre. Jazz/Blues, Pop & Rock (English), Pop & Rock (Chinese) and all futher sub-catagorised to Males and Females.
(2) Magazines
I read magazines from back to front, then front and back.
I can go on and on and on.. But due to the lack of time and I DO sense your boredom through the electrical vibes. So, I'm going to stop.
Till I'm back with some more freak stories...
P/s: If anyone happens to visit the Shop & Save supermarket at Pasir Ris, do remember to look out for the sugar packets near the stacks of rice. Please tell me if you think its weird by emailing me @ medea_lim@yahoo.com. Thanks!
Am i all alone in this universe?
There's no love on these streets.
I've given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway.
