Imagine..


..handing out flyers in the middle of the chaotic Times Square, Manhattan.


There's just too much going on within that small area where i stood:
..the angry honks and acceleration.
..the never-ending wailing sirens of police and ambulance.
..the branded high-fashion pedestrians.
..the groups of multilingual tourists.
..the colourful blinking advertisements.
..the large eye-catching movies and music banners.

AND, What more if.............


..it was Fleet Week?

:)


Now,I hope it was truly compulsory for them to wear their uniforms as they roam around the city because otherwise, it seems almost ..unnatural.


If this 'fleet week' thing were to happen in KL, do you think those teenage girls would still run up to them and ask for a picture?
.......?


Each day encountered here in the city seem to remind you how much of a nobody you are. The problem is, this idea of a 'nobody' is judged through the idea of materialism. As far as you try to run away from this plastic world, somehow, the majority seem to have the power to suck you in.
You always end up with a thought that, "I want to be a somebody too".

..or to stick with the 'Asian-Chinese girl' handing out some random flyers about a Brazilian Amazonia exhibition?

..I'm sticking to taking the ride of my life.
