Singaporean Style

It was a quiet Friday evening at home, i was potato-couching in front of the television, watching some korean serial.

Suddenly, " Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... PHAM!"
We rushed to the window to see what happened.
Apparently a car was speeding across the bend outside my house and lost control.
He skidded and crashed onto the pavement, and the truck behind him crashed onto his car.
My dad immediately took his keys and rushed downstairs.
(To help or to gawk, i don't know)

And then i looked at my block and the neighbouring condo. It was a funny sight. Many ppl were also standing at their balcony, trying to see what was going on. And everyone were dressed in their slackest clothes: T shirts, shorts, some guys were topless, etc. I saw my next door neighbours that i hadnt seen in months. Heehee.. and for a sec, it was quite embarrassing. Because we were all part of the "gawkers". So some retreated back to their homes while other remained to "see the show".

I call this Singaporean Style, because we are all so bored in this tiny city on a Friday night that even a car crash can bring excitement and lure everyone from their humble abode. Otherwise we will just be lazing in front of the tv, just like every other night.
