To me, the hand dryer found in most public toilets do not dry hands at all (if used conventionally, that is. I'll elaborate in awhile). I've seen some people rubbing their dripping wet hands frantically at the hand dryer. What they don't realise is even if they did that for the next five minutes, their hands would still not be dry.
And there're the odd ones who walk briskly to the hand dryer, 'dry' their wet hands for a few seconds and walk away with hands still wet.
Almost like a bizarre idol worship ritual if you ask me.
Oh, me? What I normally do is dry my hands with a handkerchief and use the hand dryer to blow dry my handkerchief.
Why do majority of twins (children specifically) dress the same? I've always been curious. I recently made the acquaintance of a pair of near-identical twins. The two attend the same school and not surprisingly, dress similarly too. Unable to resist, I posed the following questions to them: Why do twins tend to dress similarly? What're their thoughts about it? I was rather surprised when they told me it didn't occur to them to even think about it. They wear whatever their parents buy for them. I told them my stand that twins, although looking alike, are still two persons and have different personalities. I asked them whether they felt "out of character" dressing alike. The two shrugged their shoulders and replied they're indifferent about it.That brings us back to "They wear whatever their parents buy for them". Why then, do parents of twins want to dress their children alike? You might say "it's easier and cheaper to buy the same clothes what...". Do you know what I honestly think? I say the parents relish on creating CONFUSION as a novelty.Let me paint a scenario. Imagine a visit to the relatives during Chinese New Year. "Emily" and "Evelyn" are presented before the crowd and the usual "Wah! Can't tell them apart. Who's who ah?" And the parents go: "GUESS LAH!".
Crikey!
YIKES!!
