Non-verbal Communication
Haha.. I swear.. non-verbal communication can be absolutely hilarious sometimes.
Yesterday, my family visited my Grandma, who is currently putting up at my Aunt's place for recovery after her cataracts operation. It happens that my Aunt lives at one of these rare HDB flats that actually have security guards at the entrance to the carpark.
However, yesterday when we drove into the car-park, the security guard promptly waved us in with his right hand, and he covered his left eye with his left hand as we drove in, complete with a wide grin on his face.
After 23 years of living, I think I've finally fully comprehended the concept of 'close-one-eye'.

Today I was out with buddy WL, and after lunch at Miss Clarity Cafe, she decided to go for a little shopping at Bugis Junction. While we were walking along the push carts and mini-exhibition area joking laughing and shoulder-patting, this guy looked at me, smiled and gently showed/ passed me this little brochure.
I took one look at it, and smiled back and declined the brochure.
He gave me an 'awwww' look and promptly gave me a few 'it's-ok-bro-just-keep-trying' pats on the shoulder.
Guess what the brochure was?
'BRIDAL CONCEPT'
Ok. Maybe the pats were actually saying 'ha!-she's-so-pretty-but-you're-so-not-getting-her', but I'd like to think otherwise. :)
