The Dark Side of the Toilet.
A cynic's view of my family.
the Wholesome Singaporean Family Next Door reduced to a public toilet.
Daddy taokay is compared to a battered self-help book left behind by a patron.
long winded paragraphs that can be summarised into one sentence.
a sales manager whose hour long sales pitch to his daughter, can be shortened to eight words.
"study harder and i will give you money".
warning : Words of Wisdom can be highly idealistic.
actual Wisdom, Inspiration and Motivation can only be drawn occasionally.
Mummy is the toilet bowl, who is highly adapted to taking crap from everybody.
rooted to the ground, she is the steady foundation that makes up the family.
when the going gets tough, the tough sits on the toilet bowl to have a good cry
but sadly, on most days it is a Touch and Go, with little appreciation.
warning : the toilet bowl, though tough, is liable to breakdowns.
Overworked, Underappreciated, Irritated toilets result in strikes and "Brunches with Friends"
the Younger Brother can be described as a hand-dryer.
loud and annoying, you cannot help but notice the noise.
while the little heat produced do not actually dry your hands
you are better off flinging the water onto the ground, like words on deaf ears.
warning : the hand dryer is selective and tempremental.
it may be Cold and Unyielding, Warm and Cosy, or just Hot and Scalding.
Weilin the Wonderful is the "keep our toilets clean!" poster on the wall.
colourful and attractive, it is the poster which looks straight forward and to the point.
but my simple words may just contain a cryptic message - like an "OR ELSE!" tagged behind the exclamation.
sometimes the toilet bowl and self-help book preach to the poster. (but it is like talking to a wall)
warning : the poster is made of paper and is Highly Flammable.
light a flame under me and watch me combust and give you third degree burns that You Will Regret.
it is The Little Things that make up The Toilet.
albeit things get stinky and unbearable sometimes, we stick it out.
because the air will clear again.
