Overhead

It was a dreamy afternoon in the toilet.

Then I heard 2 people walking into the toilet.

Person A:Can I have an interview with you?

Person B: Sure. I have about 5 minutes to spare. You can talk to me outside the cubicle.

Person A: Ok, great. Erm, can I ask you a question? ... In the past you laugh at people who read the blogs of people they don't know. But why you are doing it now?

Person B: Sorry you can't ask me a question.

Person B: Hah.... joking lah. Hmmm, in the past I laughed because I thought that these people are 'stalking' on others. In the first place, I thought blogs are a place where people rode about what they did today, their whines and bitches, backstabbing or what colour underwear they wore that day.

Person B: But as I explore further, I stumbled upon many intellectual or humourous blogs. Blogs like mrbrown, designgrid, singabloodypore, simon world just to name a few.

Person A: So you feel that reading blogs will widen your knowledge?

Person B: Sort of. There are many news that I got first hand from the blogs, way before I got to read them on news or the papers.

Person A: Only intellectual blogs?

Person B: Hmmm... there are some.. different ones..

Person A: Ah, so you 'stalk' on people too. You thought this was 'immoral' in the past.

Person B: That's the past lah. Police wear shorts in the past also. I feel that if I approach it with an open mind, it's not so bad. Only for leisure, not really to 'stalk' them. It boils down to what's your motives.

Person B: Anyway, I don't see why you should make such a big issue out of this.

* Sound of flushing water

Person A: So do you blog too?

Person B: Sorry, your 5 minutes are up. Got to run.

Person A: Oh wait! Can I shake your hands before you go?
