Chairs

Why am I dedicating this few minutes of my life to rambling about a piece of furniture which most people only regard as a place to plonk their bottoms.

Well... first of all, they come in all sorts of different styles, some with elaborate carvings, some are made from wood, some from stone, or like your kopitiam chairs... they are made out of plastic. Some have nice fluffy cushions, some are hard and unforgiving for those with scrawny asses... some are high, some are low. You get my drift.

Now if you think about it... aren't they very much like humans? Some make you want to get up and walk away after just a short period, while others make you want to sit there and not get up forever.

You look for them when you're tired. But rudely push it out of the way when you're in a hurry.

They put with your rude obnoxiousness (farting, etc) without complaining... well... unless one of the legs break or something, heh.

Everyone rushes for the prime seat. Just like how the most handsome or most beautiful attract suitors. And even when it is already occupied, there will be people hovering around, waiting for you to get up so that they can claim the seat as theirs.

Turn to your chair now and say "I love you", before someone snatches it away before you get there.
